Turbo version was unstable, but I might revisit it.

And yes, curiously it is a rare release, as over ten years later, its STILL not in Tosec on Planetemu!?!

I have your word

I seem to have some problems.... how do I install the freaking thing???

Galahad/FLT · 31 October 2007, 08:23

There should be a readme in the files Dr.Bong gave you.

nikvest · 31 October 2007, 14:33

Look, I am not inexperienced or something... I really have problems and I need help. The original installer creates two empty disks, while the HD-installer does not react at all. It just says CHIP MEMORY WILL BE PRESERVED and nothing happens.

@Dr.Bong: Could you post installed and prepped game to the Zone? You would help me a lot...

Sigh.

The installer rips your EXISTING save disks. If you haven't already got EXISTING save disks, then the installer will not work.

The save disks can only be created with the Fairlight crack or the original, and the Fairlight version is 10000000000% compatible with the original with regards to save disks.

So unless someone can rip from their start of season savedisks, you cannot do anything.

@Dr.Bong:

Can I ask you for a favor to post in the Zone fully installed CM2.... or even better, just pack the CM2 folder, because I am having huge problems installing the game... Thanks so much for your effort

nikvest · 07 November 2007, 15:44

Once again, I ask anyone to help me install and play this great game

nikvest · 12 November 2007, 01:47

All right now, this is not very friendly. I got original disks, CM2 96-97 Update, and I tried to create Disks 3 and 4 and it just stops when trying to create disk 4 (infinite message: Insert Disk 4). I really think someone should be able to help out, well at least the author of the installer program (@Galahad: if you want, I will send you everything I have, and you just install the game for me. PLEASE).

Galahad/FLT · 12 November 2007, 10:54

CM2 is very fussy about the disks it writes to. They really DO have to be the best quality disks. I think I even put a message about it in the bootup text for the installer disk.

Are you doing this on Real Amiga or WinUAE?

nikvest · 12 November 2007, 13:48

I am doing it on WinUAE. Can you help, I can send you everything I got. So perhaps you could install it on real Amiga, and then just send me the folder(s).

Toni Wilen · 12 November 2007, 16:13

I rechecked this again and there is one possible problem with this "installer".

With 300RPM disk rotation rate it does not write complete track (leaves gap of ~6 bytes) -> it isn't about disk quality but speed of floppy drive

Also disk 1 must be pre-formatted, boot block install fails if disk is unformatted. (It asks for "blank" disk which afaik does not mean formatted)

I am not sure if I can fix this problem without breaking other programs, except perhaps by adding different kind of disk rotation adjustment

nikvest · 12 November 2007, 16:41

So, is there anything that could be done about it?

meckert · 21 March 2009, 14:11

Any update on this one ?? Please make this work with WHDload pleeeaaase

That would be great

Galahad/FLT · 24 March 2009, 18:39

Mine, doing it, buggy, working on it, nearly there, I would say its 98% complete with packaging to complete it.... but that would be a lie!
