"History Line" won't start

Hi!

"History Line" does not start. When the BlueByte-logo appears you only hear the starting-sound. The workbench is still visible. A few seconds later strange graphics appear on the screen. Seconds later "guru meditation".

The last line of WinUAE:: "Illegal instruction: 4e7b at 00FC0564 -> 00FC0582"

I'm using the latest version of WinUAE with kickstart 1.3. Other games run without any problems. The opening credits of HL runs smoothly too.

I appreciate any help!

Sorry for my bad english

Probably bad disk image or not enough memory (Too many disk drives + A500 configuration = less memory available)

EDIT: Tested tosec english version and it seems to boot correctly.

If you post which config and adf's you are using I'll gladly test it for you.

Thank you for your answers and a happy new year!!

I solved the problem this morning - the ADFs are corrupted. I tried another set of 'discs'. The Game starts now, but when i enter a depot the game freezes at the start of the following animation.

Anyone here had the some problem?

Sorry, some words off-topic...

After hours trying to solve the problem i began to play many other games .. it's like a 'fever' .. playing these old games bring back so much sweet memories from the 90s. This computer was absolutely awesome!!

My first computer was a Amstrad CPC 464 in 1988 ... 1990 came the A500 .. 1994 the first PC. It's nice to see i'm not the only one who's 'infected' since these old times.

@Toni Wilen
You are one of the programmers of this great emulator - THANK YOU for your work!!

Again, sorry for my poor english
