Advantage Tennis

[d3cka2d3pwood]

Does anyone know if its possible to run Advantage Tennis on a A1200. I have tried the WHDload version but it runs too fast. I've tried it via the floppy drive but it dines't seem to load.. is that because I need a A500 to run it via the floppy drive?

Most likely you will need a kickstart downgrade disk but even if you got it to load, it would still run too fast as its programmed with the 68000 in mind. The amiga 1200s 68020 make it run too fast. It helps some games like Elite, f1 etc but some games it makes them unplayable as too fast.

So there is no way round it and the only way to play it through real hardware is on an A500?

Please report that on the Mantis bug tracker so the patch can be fixed/updated.

Edit the ICON information.

Load up Workbench, find the icon for the game in question, click on the icon with left mouse button ONCE to highlight it, then goto Workbench drop down menu at top of screen and select "information", you will see the area you can edit to put more commands in.

Save before exiting, icon will now remember what you wanted.

Put the tooltype in as Galahad has mentioned, save and then make the icon file read only (just in case).

[thairacerjp]

ok ! i will do and report , thanks a lot both

[thairacerjp]

@Galahad

then goto Workbench drop down menu at top of screen and select "information", you will see the area you can edit to put more commands in.

i didn’t saw information, i saw default/information who bring me the same menu
as i right click on icon/ information, if you could put a screenshot ^^ . so i get it saved by reboot workbench and as
DamiemD said , made read only .

[DamienD]

Done in my "ClassicWB 3.1 Lite" .HDF, but you get the idea:





...and then make the icon file read-only by removing the "Write" protection bit:

[thairacerjp]

oh ok , my classic workbench have scalos desktop replacement, that’s
why i haven’t the same configuration, cheers !
