I don't know what version I have, but I too have the black screen after "Get Psyched" and date change did not work.
The file size is 153264 bytes. I tried to boot with startup-sequence, w/o startup-sequence, no luck.
The only way I got to work is to boot clean WB disk from floppy drive and start the game from HD like normal.

I'm running A600 ACA630 25MHz ClassicWB with ScalOS.

It's really easy to check the version number with any of my ports, just have a look at the ICON info and check the version number

Glad you got it working, I only run a 'clean' 3.9 install so I've no idea if it plays nice with ClassicWB/Scalos. One patch that I know for sure causes issues is the CyberBugFix hack which you can disable in ClassicWB.

What kind of speed are you getting with the ECS version, is it playable with a reduced window?

My A600 is giving me a fit right now, CTR-A-A does not work, right mouse button not working, I think needs new CAPS.
Anyway, I cant check the version right now, we'll see tomorrow.

The speed with smaller window is OK, but w/o a counter I cant tell you more. It does feel choppy.

Great, everything is fine. No need to set time anymore.
Btw I play on 28Mhz A1200 with reduced window reasonable.

I want to get the new version, but how do I get to the Zone! Also looking at the readme you need dos/win cli to extract the sound. I only have linux machines, is there anyway I can do it in linux?

ECS version working great on my A500+ with ACA500/ACA1230-56

It's really smooth, like playing on 040/060

I had to change the date to overcome the black screen since my ACA1230 has the clock (doh)

That's awesome news Steve, can't wait to see the video of it running on your A500+

I'll upload new versions of AmiWolf ECS and AmiSpear AGA to AmiNet (to fix date bug) next week.

Thanks Steve

It looks very playable and I really like how the colour conversion worked out on this port, it looks so much better than ADOOM ECS (which has a bug in its palette code).

I tested it on my A500+ with CSA Derringer 030 50Mhz and it is slower than fitzsteve's. The 6 Mhz should make that difference, or?
I think ACA is overall faster.

Probably the memory is also faster on the aca.

OK I've managed to find the time to update all of these 3 ports to fix the time bug.

v1.18 of AGA/ECS and Spear of Destiny (AGA only) uploaded to AmiNet, I'll whack them in the Zone too

Have a play with enabling the new 'priority' tool type, might help performance slightly for some users.

i have a way better solution for the music finally. I have found perfectly refactored midi files for Spear of destiny, and they convert to mus way better than the original ones.
