Aye, Very unstable on the XBOX too

If anyone happens to have fully-working ADFs of this game, please Zone them for the benefit of everyone else

like i said my cd32 version work well

BippyM · 27 November 2007, 21:57

I reckon this game should be abandoned until something is sorted and PPHammer played..

Oh the flt crack worked in the 90's when I used it

Biscuit · 27 November 2007, 22:06

I used the [o] version on planetemu, and it worked fine this time. Maybe it's something in my config. Where's the CD32 one?

Anyone know why in Lotus 3 you have to choose between SFX and music? Admittedly the SFX in Lotus 2 were mostly horrible, but Lotus 1 sounded good. In fact, the way the SFX would interrupt one of the music tracks briefly was very cool.

Here's an Easy Score: 14,246,960

You can download this from Fdasi-amigaland

StrategyGamer · 27 November 2007, 23:58

Ok I dl'ed it. (Actually I think I already had it from an old torrent somewhere).

Now what do I do?
I have never tried to run a CD32 game on my A1200 before.

I assume I must burn it to CD in order to hear the CDDA correct?

I see .img .sub .ccd files. How do I burn these? I know how to use Nero, will that work?

look here for the version patched by jotd for winuae you have just to add the cdda tracks. http://jotd.free.fr/amigastuff/lotustrilogy_uae/

For the record: I just tried Lotus Trilogy (the small version from the zone months ago) with patch AND I turned off my caches and it still locked up on the very first lap!

So the WHDLoad version and the other version are both doing the same thing on A1200.

I will try the CD32 cloneCD version whenever I figure out what in the name of applesauce I am sposed to do with all those files.

As the filename suggests i.e. "Amiga CD32 Lotus Trilogy (CloneCD).rar", it's a CloneCD image

Can't help you with playing it on a real Amiga 1200 though, only ever had an Amiga 500 when young...

These days I use WinUAE for everything Amiga

blade002 · 28 November 2007, 06:25

I tried Lotus 3 the other day on easy mode and i got to the very last track without a problem using the WHDLoad version. I will need to try it on normal though for the competition to see if it locks up on mine, but looking good so far

blade002 · 28 November 2007, 06:42

On Easy -: 10,460,270

Normal was fine on mine with WHDLoad, but I only got up to about track seven or thereabouts so it would be interesting to know if anything goes wrong later on...

If i get that far, i will let you know

Cheers for the links. Surprising that a google-hound like myself didn't have them. These adfs have given no probs yet though.

Got wasted on the roadworks race in Medium. Gonna have to practice that. I did capture the RECS code for the race, but just looked on Lemon and under 'cheats' it has all the RECS codes available. Good for practice. A big plus for the design of Lotus 3.

Medium Score: 10,073,910

Yup,
Just a shame it doesn't work in 2007 on WinUAEX

(it's hangs on a black screen after finishing a stage before giving you your score and this is random too but more often after stage 6 on easy)

EASY = 10,078,400

turrican3 · 28 November 2007, 21:28

my score in easy :11,656,610

mailman · 28 November 2007, 22:34

11,652,100 - Easy

For now only one.

Biscuit · 28 November 2007, 22:44

Starting to live up to it's title now. I rolled across the line of the futuristic level, and was about 300 yards from the snow finish.

Hard Score: 7,909,120

gimbal · 29 November 2007, 00:20

grrr, the game is locking up for me after completing the first track. I'll have to try some other versions...

(this is the first time I played lotus 3... am I stupid for saying that lotus 2 is far better?)
