trouble running a game from the hottest pd games #5

06 September 2010, 13:37

Hi,
I downloaded "Hottest 5 (1995)(PDSoft)[!]" game CD on EAB File server and I'm trying to run a game called Weapon Masters: DISK4157.DMS on WinUAE.

It says: "The selected floppy disk image is not bootable (boot block checksum error)".

How can I make it work? I only know the very basic features of WinUAE, I see there is also a lha version on the CD, but I fear that installing a hard drive with a workbench is far far out of my ability.

Try to load Workbench newer than 1.3 and insert Weapon Master image to DF0 or DF1. Or unpack DMS image with XDMS, install ADF View, open ADF file and see which file can you execute. Make empty and bootable disk image with WinUAE, boot from it and insert Weapon Master disk image when you see 1> in CLI. Type name of file which you want to run and press enter. It will not work if Weapon Master is NDOS disk.

You could just boot a workbench disk and insert the DMS to have a look.

Arrr.. the demo version again.

At least I learnt how to boot games from the CD, I'll have many other old craps to play with.

Thank you guys!
