Alien Bash 2: How do you run?

c0dehunter · 25 July 2011, 18:21

Hi All,
I have converted Alien Bash 2 from .adf to a real floppy, and when I insert this floppy disk in my drive, after a brief load sequence, all I get is a Workbench environment with 1>

How do I run this game?

Thanks!

Try to load WorkBench first if you don't know name of executable file or use ADF View for Windows to see what is inside ADF file.

I think you need 2mb chip for this game. If you get the 1> prompt then loading has failed.

Trying the game in WinUAE anything above 1mb memory works, Chip or Fast.

Thanks! That did the trick (well at least in WinUAE). I dragged the Slow RAM slider to 2MB and ran the game: it loaded just fine and I played couple of levels! I wish I could play it on my A500 1.3 however!

How much memory have you got on the old A500? I have an old 0.5 memory module for the A500 you can have for postage.

Here is what it took to get it running on my A500. I don't claim this is minimal, just what I had to test with. First, A500 must be in PAL mode or the game won't start. Second, I have 1M chip ram and 2M SupraRAM 500RX RAM expansion connected. Game looks real nice with slick scrolling.
