Shadow of the Beast 3 - Guru Meditation

Grouch · 24 February 2011, 20:27

Hello, it's me again

I have tried again everything in the last hours, read all old threads here, tried different configs, all known game versions...sigh.

I have the same problem described here:

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=19546

After choosing the Fourt Dourmoor level at start, i insert disk 2, it loads a while, and then always gives me the fricken Guru Finger.

The solution posted in this old thread does not make sense to me and does not work also. I should boot with Disk 2 of 2 (not possible cause not bootable) and then insert disk 2 of the different game Beast II.

It would be great if anyone could tell me which version he is running with which config.

SOLUTION: set chip ram to 512 k and slow ram to zero!

Same thing happens on A500 with Skid Row version if fakefast ram is enabled.
Run the game with chip ram only and it should work, it works fine with 512kb.

The Skidrow crack has 3 disks and should work. Disk 0=Intro, bootable, Disk 1=game disk 1, bootable, Disk 2=game disk 2 (not bootable). Andreas meant the "Beast Disk 2" from Beast III, not the one from Beast II.

LOL now it works...sorry thread can be deleted...

I could swear i tried that out before, but oviously i did not.

What is working for me now: the kinda rare version cracked by Access from the eab.fileserver, running in NTSC-mode.

Ah well, me is happy Panda now.

Sorry again for the troubel.

sorry what do you mean with fakefast ram? This Fast Ram Slider (i think it emulates a Turbocard)? This one is always off here, except on my A1200 config.
So to be sure i also turned the slow ram off, which is per quickstart default always on 512k. And now suddenly even the Skidrow version is working!

Ok now i googled this slow ram...so this seems to be the old expension ram if one upgraded to 1 MB, i thought this would be chip ram 1MB...oh well i see i still have to learn a lot here.

Anyway, thanks for your help Retroplay and Retro-Nerd!

See you in my next newbie thread!

Yeah slow ram = fakefast.

I've called it fakefast ever since the first time I booted the demo "Desert Dream" by Kefrens.

I transfered the "Two Live Crew" version on my A500 after having problems with others and all is working perfectly

I used to know someone who called it Bogo RAM.

Personally I just call it "512k ram expansion" as the Amiga can be configured to use it for chip or fake-fast.
