shadow of the beast HELP!!!

10 August 2002, 22:10

new to emulation, i am using winuae, and can't seem to get the beast rom to work properly. The first disk is loading and the intro is playing, but as i recall, you had to switch to the second disk after the intro was done, right? Don't know if i got a bad rom, but its just not accessing that second disk. am i doing something wrong, and if its the file (from vision factory) where can i get a working copy?? please help, this was one my favorite games growing up!!! THANKS!!!!

I'll leave the configuring part to someone more qualified, but I would just like to point out that if you played the game when you were growing up, you might remember that it was on a disk and was not a cartridge, so therefore it is not a rom. A rom is an image dump from hardware (be it a cartridge or a chip); an adf is an image of an (Amiga) disk.

I just tried the Vision Factory crack and had no problems running it. When the "Insert disk 2" screen displays, I eject disk 1, insert disk 2 and press fire.

I used an ECS13 config with 512k chipmem + 512k slow mem, and I disabled all external drives.

thanks to everyone who's trying to help, sorry about my misuse of terminology, im new to this!! so, i tried a few things, including Walker's suggestion, and like i said, the intro is booting up fine, but when the number in the LED reaches "05" (im assuming that its a file partition) it just stays there forever, no prompt for disk 2. Someone try this, please, maybe im missing something.
THANK YOU!!!

if you up the disks to the zone, i'll test it straight away...

btw, which version of WinUAE are you using?

Djay · 11 August 2002, 02:14
