Links: The Challenge of Golf

Can anyone get the ATX version working under WinUAE? It always crashes for me after the disk 1 must remain in df0 and the course must be in df1: screen.

The reason I'm trying to get this one working is I'm after a version playable from adf, the skid row and trsi versions are hd only and both disk 2s of the opium release seem to actually be the bountiful course disk rather than the original course disk (which going by the WHDLoad) should be torrey-pines south.

Hey Belgarath,

Just gave it a try and had issues like yourself. Tried numerous Quickstarts / configurations with all the ATX cracked disks. A cracktro loads then Kixx XL advertisement screen then a guru meditation

...but the good news is this disk works "Links - The Challenge of Golf v2.00 (1992)(Kixx XL)(Disk 1 of 2)[budget].adf". I was able to get to the main screen with a course disk inserted.

The other bit of bad news is that "Links - The Challenge of Golf v2.00 (1992)(Kixx XL)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr ATX][budget].adf" also seems to be the Bountiful course disk.

Thanks for testing it out

I need to install the ipfs to hd at some point and see which course disk is included..

As a side note I can't get any of these course disks working with "Links - The Challenge of Golf v2.00 (1992)(Kixx XL)(Disk 1 of 2)[budget].adf":

... Links Championship Course - Bountiful Golf Course (1992)(Access - U.S. Gold)[data disk].adf
... Links Championship Course - Firestone Country Club (1992)(Access - U.S. Gold)[data disk].adf
