Rare amiga game

10 July 2008, 20:32

I think I've got a game which is rare. I'm talking about Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The original game, as all versions in TOSEC are, crashes as the end of the game. I bought the game originally in 1990, and I reported this to the customer service department. They sent me a new version, which does not crash, plus which was improved in loading times as well (not so relevant now with emulators, but still). I transferred the disk using serial cable between my Amiga and PC as ADF format. Is anyone interested in this?

It would be good if the files got added, so I will never loose them again

Yes please - can you upload it to the Zone? (If you need it, here's something about accessing the Zone: http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=vb_...ezone_faq_item)

Awesome rfasel75

I looking for a good version very long. Didn't know the fault was in the original game, I always thought it was a bad rip/crack.
Thank you very much

Mmh sounds interesting. I wonder, which version JOTD used for the WHDLoad patch. Never played it to the end.

OK, but will someone add it to TOSEC Amiga?

TCD · 10 July 2008, 22:26

[idoru] will do it for sure when he stumbles over this thread

A dump for SPS would be most welcome too I think.

Yeah, apparently there are no complete versions in tosec or whatever.
Here's the longplay someone made a while back, jump to the end to see how it crashes.

The guy recording it thought maybe the game had no end...

Quote:

There is no endscreen or credits when the game is completed.
I have completed the game twice with different disks with the same result.
So maybe this game has no one or the emulator got a problem. It just ends up
with an inactive screen with a cursor. Strange way to end a game... :/

Is there a level skip cheat? I've installed it (WHDLoad) and want to compare it with the one in KG's pack.

Belgarath · 11 July 2008, 20:15

No cheats that I know of, but Jason has finished it and confirms it's 100%.

Retro-Nerd · 11 July 2008, 20:25

So KG's install is 100% working? What's about the SPS #0160? I don't have it, is this 100% too?

Belgarath · 11 July 2008, 20:53

Sorry, I meant these new adfs are 100%

Retro-Nerd · 11 July 2008, 21:02

Aah, thanks. Then should KG replace his old preinstalled version with this disks. Only to be sure.

11 July 2008, 21:33

Sorry for asking, but what/who is KG?

TCD · 11 July 2008, 21:37

KG is killergorilla who makes packages of WHDLoad games. Retro meant he should use your disks for the install of the WHDLoad for Who framed Roger Rabbit.

WOW! Miracles happen while I'm absent for DAYS!

Please, could anyone re-zone this one? Thanks.

Minuous · 21 July 2008, 04:37

IIRC you had to reboot whenever you wanted to play a new game.
I remember the game being marked down in reviews because of this.
So does this version fix that flaw, and allow restarting the game without a reboot? Or does it simply allow the ending screen to be displayed without crashing, and then you have to reboot to play again?

21 July 2008, 18:05

Here you go, hope that someone will pick it up for next TOSEC release (as the other ones I put in the zone)
