Yes, for this reason I ask if it is possibile to fix the game.
I ask it for a friend who has this setup (1MBChip + 1,5MBSlow) on his A500 and he cannot play Goal!. Thanks for patience and attention. |

The Goal! memory check is quite bad. It should be an easy fix though, if I don't forget it, I'll have a look at the game code in the next days. |

I have created a fixed version of Goal! which works with 1 MB chip memory and 0.5 MB (fake) fast memory. I have used the SPS 1817 version of the game, applied the fix and also removed the protection. The source can be found on my Github: https://github.com/MK1Roxxor/GamePat...l!_MemoryFix.s
The fixed version of the game is attached to this message. |

Thanks to Ross for MT fixed version
Thanks to Stingray for Goal! fixed version. You rock ! Btw, just a question to crackers/fixers : Is it hard to add hiscores save/load feature in general ? I mean without using WHDLoad, because it's a cool add to Amiga arcade game. |

If the disk is non-dos (i.e. doesn't have files on it) then that is quite easy room permitting. If however, the disk has an AmigaDOS file system, it can be more difficult because the data you write down has to not conflict with any files or file system information on the disk. Its not impossible, but it is slightly trickier. |

Always wanted to try Mega Typhoon but my A600 and A1200 internal drives are iffy so thanks for the one I can play on my minty fresh stock A500 KS 1.3 512+512 Amiga I have as my main unit.
There was another game that was 1mb Chip RAM only, pretty sure it's called Turbo Trax (the overhead scrolling racing game not the early Microdeal Scalectrix slot car racing game with the same name). Anybody know if that could be made 512+512, says 'all' Amigas on the box but underneath that it says 1mb Chip RAM required. |

Turbo Trax require 1,5 MB (at least on WinUAE start only with 1 MB Chip RAM + 512k Slow Fast..)

The original floppies work on 512+512, just tested it Edit: I can imagine the developers probably weren't very happy about that typo! Edit2: There's also a WHDLoad version which works with 512k chipmem. Last edited by A500; 20 June 2023 at 12:14. |

Doh ! I could had swear that it was the contrary. Amiga I/O programming is so complicated to handle ^^

Rob Northen wrote a sector loader that was used on hundreds of games, and it also had the ability to save sectors as well, easy to use and easy to implement into games and demos.

By that time I had an A1200 so things like this, F1 championship edition, Skidmarks were all played on the A1200 as I sold my A500 to fund that purchase and the latter 2 fail to load on my A500. Difficult for me to know now if a game crashes due to chipram or decay of the actual magnetic media. |
