Eye of the Beholder 1 + AGA + Maps ?

[Washac]

I recently got hold of this - http://eob.wikispaces.com/EOB1+AGA+GAME

It is the files to run Eye of the Beholder 1 AGA with maps.

I run a 1200, I have several 500s and I run emulation for my Amiga usage, for when I get the urge to do Amiga stuff.

My question on downloading and un archiving this LHA I am left with a folder full of files which I do not know what to do with.

Is anyone familiar with this particular download and can help me to get this going ?

Long time since I messed with any Amiga stuff.

Thanks.

Yes, thanks for those, but they do not answer my question, they all seem to be to do with bugs and problems etc.

I just need to know where those files go ?

Some more EOB help which gets it working perfectly with FS-UAE

And yes a WHDLOAD version of EOB 1 and 2 AGA with automap would be most helpful ( Or at least a straight HD-Installed package )

That folder with all the files can go wherever you want. Open the folder, and double click on the big Eye of the Beholder icon to run the game.

Just one thing: Don't forget westwoodtool.lha from the same site. It contains westwoodtool.library which must be copied to SYS:Libs/ The other files in westwoodtool.lha aren't needed.

Yup, I have that file, SYS:Libs under Workbench I have no problems with, I am following the FS-UAE install from here - http://www.indieretronews.com/2013/0...sions-now.html

That site does not mention the westwoodtool.library file.

I also have my WHDload key also.

Hmm, that seems a bit complicated. You don't need WHDLoad, you just need a bootable Workbench. Just unpack the main archive, put it where you want, open the folder and double click the big EOB icon. That's all there's to it. Why they go into WHDLoad I don't know.

The game doesn't want to run without it, it's needed, and will mention if it's not there.

Really, this should be as simple as 1) put library in SYS:Libs/ 2) unpack archive 3) open folder and play.

Tried on both my A1200 and WinUae, and it just works.

.

There's a reason people put instructions down. FS-UAE works perfectly and doesn't take much effort at all. Oh and not everyone wants to faff around with WinUAE or real Amiga's (Most people don't have them -edit), that write up was for ease of use with FS-UAE. Some people are never satisfied unless it's done only their way

In this case instructions that aren't needed. If you use WHDLoad, then you need a bootable Workbench, and if you have that, then this game will work properly from the Workbench directly.

All that needs to be done is: 1) put library in SYS:Libs/ 2) unpack archive 3) open folder and play. Very simple.

It's telling that someone is having problems with the instructions from that site.

Indeed, just tried it with my own instructions, and it works fine.

You misunderstand. I don't care what people use. Someone asked what they needed to do with the directory full of files (first post in this thread), so I explained.

Oops.. My bad

Not if you use the FS-UAE launcher (you only need a WB 3.x disk in one of the scanned folders). It completely removes the need to setup a WB HD to use WHDLoad games.

Aha, that's the problem. Didn't realize. I thought Washac was using a bootable Workbench setup.

Exactly!

[Washac]

I am reading all these replies, it is just that I am totally new to FS-UAE FS-UAE Launcher etc and am working my through setting up workbenches and machines, games etc.

I am using the FS-UAE site documentation also.

So far I got all the kickstarts in place, going slow just to make sure I get it right.

Should be a real Amiga blast once I have it all up and running, looks and seems better than E-UAE already.

Thanks so far everyone.

To Washac:

If you're going to setup a Workbench system with FS-Uae, then my instructions are still valid. If you want to use FS-Uae as a launcher, then ignore them.
