Castlevania (AGA) - Demo and Turrican II Remake not detected on FS-UAE: how to fix it

[legolas119]

Hi, i'm using the latest version of FS-UAE. i have updated the database, but i'm not able to detect into the games list both:

Castlevania (AGA) --> https://danteretrodev.itch.io/akumajou-dracula-aga (i downloaded the UAE recommended version)

Turrican 2 (AGA) Remastered --> https://sonicslothgames.itch.io/turrican2aga. I tried the .hdf file

If i push Update Game Database and Update Games list, both games aren't detected. Do you know what i have to do in order to fix this?
thanks!

i dont know if Game Database is already online because in the last weeks it was offline.

[legolas119]

yes, is online from yesterday, i updated it but both games aren't detected... i don't know the reason...I'm quite sure that FS-UAE support them

Because the games aren't added to that database yet.

You probably have to add them manually to your collection (if FS-UAE allows that - I really don't remember), or make an "A1200 Workbench install" profile and add the games to it, as you would on a real Amiga.

yes it is possible to manually add games. I tried different ways. For example, speaking about Turrican II, i tried the CD32 version, configuring it in this way:

But the emulator crashes immediately as soon as i run the game...

I tried the HDF version too, i created a specific configuration using the A1200 Default Config:

But it crashes as soon as i run it.

I would like to try the whdload format, but i don't know how to try it. All my games are in .lha format and i can immediately run them a soon as they are detected into the games list. I don't need to do anything else. For example, this game has this configuration, automatically done:

But Turrican II isn't a .lha zipped file, it has this folder:

how can i do the same with the WHDLOAD format of Turrican II?

thank you!

[Seiya]

you have compress Turrican2 AGA files in Turrican2aga.lha. With modern OS you can do easily.

[legolas119]

i'm sorry, but it is the first time...i usually compress into .zip or .rar....how can i compress files in .lha?
thanks!

[Seiya]

"PowerArchiver" support LHA compression (it is commercial product)
"IZarc" support LHA compression and it is freeware

[legolas119]

thanks, done, i created the .lha file.
I have created a specific config for this game, starting from the Default ADF configuration in FS-UAE, and i configured it in this way:

https://i.postimg.cc/cJQ7nrCB/lha-2.png

https://i.postimg.cc/2jP42QW7/lha-5.png
https://i.postimg.cc/qMy2YNXV/lha-6.png


But when i run it, i have this error now:

I don't know how to fix this...

thanks!

[Seiya]

you should look exactly how are setup other whdload in FS-UAE. maybe you could have made some errors or you could try to create LHA from amiga side. Sometimes even if some Windows compressor support LHA, could have some predefined option value, not totally compatible with Amiga.

[legolas119]

well, i compressed the files in this way, leaving the default values:

Is it correct?

I tried to directly pick up the whdload folder, withut any .lha compression:

here my game folder:

When i run the game i don't have any error message this time, but i have this screen...i don't now how to go ahead...

I tried to add this string, as it is present in ALL others .lha games:

But when i start the game, it appears this:

But the file is present into the folder!

thanks

i don't know if it is correct. me too using lzarc whdload not works using that value. i think the best solution is that you copy turrican2aga in a workbench using fs-uae and then compress with lha.

lha a turrican2aga.lha turrican2aga

turrican2aga is you directory

You'd better use the HDF version. I also included the title, the cover and the screenshots.
No kickstart needed.
