Thanks DamienD, now I can finally play this on my real A1200. A while back I extracted the cd-rom version to my cf card, changed the startup-sequence and it worked in WinUAE but not on my real A1200. And I didn't want to play this on anything other than a crt monitor. So yay!

That's great news Lemming880, happy to have helped and enjoy!!!

It's great to be able to play it so easily. But, ahem... why is this game so hard ?

[PARALAX]

I've tried to run the game from real A1200 but I only get the error message "IOStartup: couldn't lock to subdir 'Enemies' st stage 0" after the trainer menu.

Curious that the very same version works on WinUAE without problems. There is no chip ram problem as it also don't work when reducing the colours from the Workbench.

[DamienD]

Hmmm, not sure what to suggest in this case. What is it with your system?

You can see in the thread that other real A1200 users (plus WinUAE users) have used this package without issue.

You could try amending the script that's run after double-clicking the game icon. This makes the required assign before starting the trainer. If you were to remove the trainer part and just launch the game I wonder if this will work for you?

At work currently so can't give you exact details but if you get stuck let me know and I'll look when home after 10ish tonight.

Which filesystem? Official PFS3 (18.x) versions have a bug that prevents certain types of file locks pointing to same file open multiple times. It causes problems very rarely.

I use the normal FFS from OS 3.1 (Workbench 40.42), the last version of the Amiga Technologies version. It's the very same like on WinUAE. On my A1200 there is a 4GB CF HDD which is formatted and working correctly.

In all my tests (which have been numerous) be it on a plane "WB 3.1" installion or "ClassicWB Lite 3.1" installation, I've never come across the issue you mentioned so not really sure how else to help you man

I played this game back then and I truly liked it :-)
