dune II - disk 1 problem

honx · 03 November 2016, 20:39

i already tried different sets of adfs, from the zone and from emuparadise. always the same problem.
at some point after disk 2 was loaded, the game asks for disk 1 again. so i insert disk 1. but still:
the game asks me to insert disk 1 which is already inserted. there's something buggy, i guess.
does anyone know where i can get a working set of dune II adfs so i can actually play the game?

Game may expect disk in DF0 or DF1.

Dune II supports all 4 disk drives, it shouldn't matter which drive the disk is in. The paradox +1 crack works fine as far as I'm aware.

df0 or df? does no difference. game keeps asking for disk 1 which is already inserted.

Belgarath · 03 November 2016, 21:08

Well seeing as the set I've just seen on emuparadise appear to be the gamebase amiga set (and I mean that quite literally as the path is emuparadise.me/GameBase%20Amiga/Games/D/Dune%20II%20-%20The%20Battle%20for%20Arrakis_Disk1.zip

There shouldn't be a problem, that set works. Are you using all 4 drives from the start as your post seems to be suggesting you're only using one drive?

honx · 03 November 2016, 21:13

first i tried one drive (df0

, then i tried all four drives (df0 - df3) with disks 1,2,3,4 inserted.
no difference.

Can I ask what emulator (and version) you're using?

s2325 · 03 November 2016, 21:15

You need restart of virtual Amiga to use external drives.

honx · 03 November 2016, 21:21

im using winuae 3.3.0 and of coarse i have restarted emulation session.
it seems to work if i select english, so there seems to be a bug in german part.
so i'll need a set of floppy images, where german part of the game is working.

Belgarath · 03 November 2016, 21:24

I noticed you were from Austria and already wondered if you'd tried selecting German language, so I tried it for myself and still had no problems.

At what point in the game is it asking for disk 1 and not working, and also can you attach your config file please.

s2325 · 03 November 2016, 21:26

Trained Paradox version is marked in TOSEC with "missing file".

Belgarath · 03 November 2016, 21:33

So it is, although my crc of disk 1 is different from the ones in tosec. honx, try the set in the gamebase amiga directory on the eab ftp and see how you get on.

thx, the gamebase files work, even in german. found it by the eab search.

btw., i'm searching for the german version of dune 1, could only find english ones.
does anyone know, where i can find the german version?

Belgarath · 03 November 2016, 21:56

Glad it works

I must have replaced disk 1 with a working copy at some point, although I can't remember when. As for a German Dune, you can find that on the eab ftp as well in the tosec folder

thx, got it!
