Putty Squad - The Details

RDY should be working fine on my 1200 since most other stuff works fine, including Sanity's Arte.

Edit: I also get 'DF0:Uninitialized' when I insert disk 1 after writing the ADF, so it is not recognized as a DOS disk. Disk 2 says 'Putty'.

Both Disks are non-Dos, disk 2 shouldn't have any kind of disk label in AmigaDOS, I would suggest the write procedure didn't go correctly.

I wrote both disks with verify and post #95 also gets the same label on disk 2. Would the WHDLoad installer complain if there was an error or would it just copy the error to the installed game?

Thanks, that worked for me.

For reference it works and runs perfectly on my A4000/30

AmigaDos appears to display DF0:Putt on the Workbench screen because the first longword on disk 2 happens to be Putt instead of DOS (as there's a little message in the bootblock on disk 2).

As Galahad says, both disks are definitely non-DOS and the WHDLoad installer ignores this anyway.

I finally got around to installing the whdload version, i used my HXC to read both floppy images and everything went fine.

The whdload version plays perfectly on my A1200 without any need for extra tinkering, thanks again for the release

Galahad, would you have took this on if System 3 had intended selling it?

Of course. My main motivation was to get it into a format they could release it in, I didn't expect them to give it away free, I was told that was happening after I had already started on it.

[wanderer]

System 3's decision to release it for free is very commendable and not to be under-appreciated.

Any chance of a release of the source code for Putty Squad?

Unfortunately not. NDA strictly prevents me from doing so, sorry

Does anyone know the deal with the slow downs?? I use it in uae4all on my Pandora. I use the A1200 profile and don't have any slow downs with any other game..anyone experience it??

Thanks

It will likely be blitter related. If you're using the disk/adf version, if the emulator you're using has the ability to disable CPU caches, try that as the game natively doesn't disable them, so it could be the CPU is simply running too quick and gets to the next blitter wait before the previous blit has finished.

putty squad forces emulation very much (CPU)...something like Aladdin or BCKID
if there are slowdowns is because cpu is runing at 100%

Jesus i learn the news now only lol, i ran immediatly on the System 3 website to thanks them ! A big "MERCI" to all the staff here who made this possible, and also to everyone who was believing in this since a so long time ! Going to transfert the ADF this afternoon to pley a bit .

[spiff]

Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in! Retro archaeology is my new hobby.

Cheers system3, Galahad, Codetapper and all other involved.

[spookt]

Just have to agree and say I'm loving Putty Squad. Looking forward to the PS Vita release too so I can play it at work (during lunchtime of course )

Thanks to System 3, Galahad and everyone else involved. As to it being free - feels like I had 2 Christmases this year

[turrican3]

galahad, how much peoples downloaded the game ? how much visitors since the release ???
Like you have the source code could we dream about a cd32 version with the ps3 music in cdda ???
With an auithorization to make a cd32 version how much time could be needed to make a such release ???
The time to change the source code to use cdda ???

[fryguy]

I seriously doubt he got the rights to use cdda tracks from the ps3 version.

[fitzsteve]

The Amiga versions music is awesome though! It would be sacrilege to use PS3 music on an Amiga Game!
