I had no idea Extrial did fall into that category, honest. It would help if I had another miggy bearing original chipset to conduct tests with e.q. an A2000 but the machine I described is the only I've got due to lack of room. Dlfrsilver has one, but he's a busy man. If I suspect yet another game to stop loading because of 1 MB chip, I will subsequently post in that thread, no worries.

Dragons Of Flame (1989) (SSI) fails to load with 1 MB chip, but works fine with 0.5 MB chip tops (presumably, said RPG would work fine with slow ram in addition to the standard half meg of chip mem).

Police Quest II (1990) (Sierra), the game won't work with 1 MB chip (can't get past scuba diver animation). As it is, it requires at least 0.5 MB slow ram to work properly. Problem easily reproduced in WinUAE with slow ram disabled in mem tab.

@SquawkBox : Would you mind giving a go with 'Death Trap' ? It's one of these original that never worked on my 1MB chip A2000 BitD.

No problem at all loading and playing Death Trap on my A500 with default config (the whole MEG of chip ram enabled). Took care of the conversion from IPF to HFE v3 format meself just in case some of the cracked versions do bear a hack capable of increasing compatibility.

Thank you for the test. So maybe it seems my original was defective from day one

Black Tiger (1990) (U.S. Gold), the game won't work with 1 MB chip. As it is, the additional chip ram prevents the game from loading data, past the cracktro screen. Problem can easily be reproduced in WinUAE with slow ram disabled in mem tab.

Just loaded the IPF (converted to HFE v1) of Best Of the Best on my 1 MB A500, the game seems to run fine with 1.3 KS as well as with 3.1 KS (I can switch from one to the other).

My rule of thumb is give a try to HFEv1, if it doesn't work then delete HFE's and convert IPF's to HFEv3. Some IPF's don't like HFEv3, it cannot be considered de facto IPF convert format for gotek's.
Case in point, there are other games besides Best Of the Best which require HFEv1 e.q. World Games. If you're brave enough (if you don't mind a discussion being carried in a somehow heavy handed manner, that is), you can check the following thread in which I am misled, before realizing the issue I faced with a couple of games could be solved by converting to HFEv1 instead : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=108223 |

Btw, I am a registered HxC user , it's just that FF came with my gotek so I though, what the heck, let's keep it that way. |

About HxC being better than FF, could be although I think it's safer if we take that to PM. I use my machine to play a game once in a while these days, and I still don't feel cheated for using FF in that perspective. If you think you can convince me, no problem at all.
If an original game loads in WinUAE, but fails in Gotek (as HFEv1 or v3), it implies it is related to Gotek limitations. If a game (such as Top Wrestling) fails in WinUAE and in Gotek, it implies there is something wrong with the IPF indeed. Maybe not a single pristine physical copy of that game was found, first time I hear about it btw. Garrison was sold as two separate games but also as a pack with intro disk + each scenario written on a separate disk (the latter was preserved recently after I had suggested Denis to buy that original). Each and everyone of them fail (trigger copy protection) in Gotek because of a "dent" (check corresponding threads for a more complete explanation). Last edited by SquawkBox; 13 July 2022 at 19:50. |

Xenophobe, here is another game which the Gotek might have issues with. On my 1 MB A500, HFE v3 images of said game as converted from IPF stop loading upon disk change.

Btw, is there some interest for a separate thread to provide a non exhaustive list of games that fail to work with FF'ed Gotek, whether cracked of original ? I mean, it should not be perceived as a support thread, and of course HxC users would be welcomed (but would not fuel "such firmware is better than the other" debate).

It's a variation of the various BBs I made for machines with 1MB chip RAM only (basically my addchip+fakefast). Quote:
From what I remember I've only fixed Street Rod 2. |

Can't get Conan ~ the Cimmerian to load on my machine (1 MB A500 with Gotek and latest FF), tried both the IPF (as converted to HFE v3) and the cracked version. If you guys want to have a look, feel free .
