Olofight

[Seiya]

The game install on HD very well, it start, but cracking intro said "press mouse button to close this intro".
The button close intro, but also the game that return to workbench..
There is some fix for this game?
I tried the CD-ROM version but don't start, remain in workbench environment and doesn't use memory.
I remember also on real Amiga, i never been able to run this game.

...it was many moons ago when I first installed this game to Workbench, tried running but had an issue.

Memory is a bit hazy, but I think the solution was to write a script to start the game and point the icon to that.

Anyway, since then I've created a bare-bones / self booting .HDF that I use in my collection

...it's on the EAB File Server under my ~Uploads directory; OloFight AGA HDF.rar

If you want, at the very least download / analyse it, and if you're stuck then I guess you can use my .HDF in "your" collection.

I installed the OloFight AGA CD on AFA-OS on HD and the game started quietly, see video:

maybe it has harfdware requirement that are strange. i try to start with base A1200 configuration with 4 MB Fast. maybe need more.

@DamienD
Thanks, i'll try to resolve this issue..because there a solution and you and AmigaSystem found it.


PS:
ahhhhhh, now! works.
it required some much more resources to start

No, not true... you say "much more resources to start"; such as?

I use a standard A1200 Quickstart (2MB Chip & 4MB Fast RAM).

...like I mentioned above; many moons ago I had the exact issue you face

However, found out through trying numerous things that if you start the game via Shell / CLI then all is fine... so what I then did was create a script, point the icon to this and all is good.

...but these day I don't bother loading WB, hence why I created a bare-bones / self booting .HDF.

I confirm what Damiano says, if you start the game directly without using the Workbench with a system 3.0/3.1 it works if you have 4MB Chip or 2MB Chip and 4MB Fast ( i have to find out why). With OS 3.9 and advanced systems based on AfA-OS no problem can also be performed by Workbench

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Found the problem, to run from the Workbench 3.0/3.1 as well as having 2 MB Chip + 4MB Fast or 4MB Chip and you have to run the game from a script with the RUN Command

Run >NIL: OloFight

it's not that the problem. Olofight require Z3 Mem.
My default machine is 68EC20, 24 bit addressing and 4 MB Z2 memory.
So settings full 68020 and 4 MB z3 it works very well.

I like to reproduce real or atmost real base A1200 with same type of processor, so 24 bit and Z2 memory.
Olofight it is one or the only game that require Z3 mem

No it works well even with 24 bit and Z2 memory just run the game from the quoted script, i have always run OloFight on my real A1200 with HD without problems my children have played there many times.

No funziona bene anche a 24 bit e memoria Z2 basta eseguire il gioco con lo script citato, ho sempre eseguito OloFight sul mio A1200 reale con HD senza problemi i miei figli hanno giocato tante volte.

If you use the method I've described then it works fine with Z2 Fast RAM i.e. starting the game from a script:

I confirm Damien
