English Amiga Board - View Single Post - King's Quest IV gets stuck in the middle of the game

You can make Rosella jump 2 times to the west, then the night closes in: you get a beautiful "night" picture, captioned with "Darkness enfolds you", then the crown icon appears and there is no key possible to press, except for the right mouse button (menu).
Seems that the game tried to load something which it couldn't; hence loading of disk 3 gets stuck tight at track 14. It would be possible that it's a floppy emulation problem, as it DOES occur with the IPFs too.

It will be "quite" an effort to test this on real thing for me with no HD, as I will be required to transfer FOUR disks (3 game disks [4th is not needed at this stage] + save disk).

So could anyone please retest this on the miggy whether it works beyond this point? I'm fairly sure it will, as the disks ARE OK. Save-game disk is in the zone.
Thanks.

[edit] made a HD install with the original IPF disks - same problem!
