Wally the worm problem

mike4466 · 18 May 2010, 15:59

Anybody had wally the worm working as it wont access the 2nd disk no matter what settings you use,so has anybody got another version of this game or can somebody fix.

TCD · 18 May 2010, 16:14

Confirmed for A1200 basic & 4MB and A600 basic & 2 MB quickstarts. Disk 2 'hangs' on track 65.

mike4466 · 20 May 2010, 09:38

Could do with this game being fixed as it looks like it could be a good quality game.

andreas · 21 May 2010, 15:20

"That Other Site" by a certain Kim got the right hint:

Relabel disk 2 from 'WTW 2' to 'WTW2' without blank.

For the gamers-to-the-core with a sort of WB abhorrence, take a hex editor and change:

Code:

6E1B0: 05 57 54 57 20 32

to

Code:

6E1B0: 04 57 54 57 32 00

TCD · 21 May 2010, 17:22

Wow, someone needs to get shot for that one

Thanks for the info andreas

For all you lazy people, grab a fixed disk 2 in the zone

Sorry to drag up an old topic but does anyone have the fixed version they can upload to the zone again please?

The FTP Search link in broken (due to the updates).

Wally the Worm (1996)(Electronic Minds)[f](Disk 2 of 2).zip

...but here is "Wally the Worm (1996)(Electronic Minds)[f](Disk 2 of 2).zip" now in The Zone!

qupe · 31 August 2020, 15:52

Thanks Damien. I did try the renaming but for some reason it didn't work.

DamienD · 31 August 2020, 16:38

Not a bad little game, quite difficult though.

...and unfortunately the "Data.21" file seems broken

BarryB · 31 August 2020, 19:53

Seems every copy you download from the net and on various CD's are the same DD, even the Wtw_2.lha archive on Aminet has the same 0 byte Data.21 file!

I know BarryB, I checked around before posting in the hope of finding a good copy

qupe · 01 September 2020, 00:55

How does it effect things Damien? Does the game stop working, I haven't had a chance to test as not been able to get on my pc or amiga today.

If i can find anything or have it on any of my tonnes of real disks im working through what software checks the dat file?

Thanks to you both for looking.

Edit: just noticed Petasjim uploaded a play from CD Software Explosion 2 Virtual Computer Pets. Has this version been checked?

I don't know, I haven't really played the game but you wouldn't expect "Data.21" to be 0 bytes.

I haven't checked that.

I just downloaded this game and oddly both disk 1 and disk 2 have a data.21 file of 0 bytes.

It does load for me though (after renaming disk2).

DamienD · 01 September 2020, 13:07

Someone needs to be good enough to get pass level 20, to see if level 21 then loads.

BarryB · 01 September 2020, 19:09

CD Software Explosion 2 Virtual Computer Pets and PGC 07 CD have the same 0 byte Data.21 file!

mai · 01 September 2020, 20:25

data.01 - data.26 are not the level numbers, this are different types of datas(picture, music, leveldata).
I am almost sure that data.21 is the highscore file, but on this disk no highscore saved yet.
So i think Disk 2 is fully working!
