I simply used the standard BTTR 1.3 conig with WInUAE 0.8.8r8. I didn't fiddle with anything beyond that.

Maverick357 · 08 November 2001, 15:39

Mmmmmh Too bad it work not for me with this config/WinUAE 0.8.8R8
I get allways this gourous after the copyright animation screen:

Maverick357 · 08 November 2001, 15:53

I find it why it whas crashing the Amiga (gurus meditation).

That whas option of cpu speed that MUST be at aprox A500 speed.
I suppose that is a synchronisation problem inside the game

I don't understant the critic about bad graphics because i find it nice

Twistin'Ghost · 08 November 2001, 16:03

That's odd...I have mine set at Adjustable between CPU and Chipset (1). Then again it looks like you are running yours at full screen, so maybe that is having an effect. Your screen grabs are a bit large...you should reduce the resolution before posting...a bit blinding! Here's the exact config I used to run the game.

s4murai :
Thanks for your help, this is you that find the correct title of the game

Twistin'Ghost :

For the size of the screenshot, i know that is too big, i have try to reduce size of it long time ago (with previous post about others subject) but the program cannot save a reduced size of it.
I use 'Graphics workshop professionnal' for a lot of effect, include zoom in, zoom out and conversion format but it save the picture always at full size.

Sorry, i found where the option to scale is available (not when then picture is show but in the catalog show option.

Is this size more acceptable ?

Twistin'Ghost · 08 November 2001, 16:49

Heheh...yeah, that's a little easier on the eyes. Plus I think slower connection modem users probably have an easier time rendering a thread when the images are cut down, unless it's something really critical.

Maverick357 · 08 November 2001, 16:55

Twistin'Ghost :

For the config that you give me, this is as me but when is the cpu speed = 1, i don't have any voice digit and some sounds in game is not hear/played.

With aprox A500 speed, then it is 100 % ok

Twistin'Ghost · 08 November 2001, 17:15

Well, it's a pretty game and all that, and it certainly satisfies my need to kill all things, but it's quite an impossible affair without the trainer (and a wrist workout even WITH the trainer!)

And yes, it does seem to perform a bit better with Approximate A500 Speed.

Twistin'Ghost:

It not impossible without cheating

but very hard to go at level 3 because you must be VERY carrefull at the start of the game.

The first ugrade that you must get absolutly choice is 'faster movement speed' & 'faster shoot rate'..
After that you can choice what you prefer upgrade, shoot at side or after, ect...

Today i have seen that i must train again (without cheat

) before i can past the first level because it is hard to play, but not impossible.

It will take a lot of time (the secret is to memorise every ground target to shoot the faster on it and every aerial ennemies to avoid to get stuck in a side of the gameplay field

Good Luck, have fun. and 'Can be the force with you'

Mav: Try Battle Squadron, Hybris' pseudo-sequel.. It's a great game, one of, if not THE, best Amiga vertical scrolling shoot'em ups

Maverick357 · 08 November 2001, 18:09

Here is a proof that without cheating you can go to level 2 (but too bad not further because i whas killed by the bigboss of level 2).

I have try more than 18 time to get so far, and without a full upgrade you have no chance to survive
You can pause the game with space bar, if this can help you

Maverick357 · 08 November 2001, 18:15

Akira:
I know about 'Battle squadron' because i had a cracked copy on my real Amiga 500 in 1991.

I whas gone very far in the game but after a while there too many invisible enemies and i was dead.

You have right 'Battle squadron' is a very good shoot-em-up

I have Battle squadron rom for Megadrive-Genesis if somebody want it

Shatterhand · 09 November 2001, 03:31

I think I am the biggest fan of Battle Squadron around, I LOVE that game.

I won't say the Mega-Drive version sucks, but it's much worse than the Miggy version. THe Mega-Drive version has many upgrades to weapon (If my memory serves well, in the Miggy version you can upgrade your weapon up to 7 times, against 4 times in the Megadrive), the Amiga sound is MUUUCHHH better, and the MEgadrive has a crap parallax effect in some stages, it adds a FOREGROUND, and many times a section of the screen is invisible..

about the invisible enemies... try to mess with the contrast and bright levels of your monitor, it may help
