Gods with Kickstart 3.1
Hey Guys,
I recently upgraded my A1200 (68020) to kickstart 3.1. Now I can't play the game Gods. I can load the game up to the start screen but when I try to start playing the game won't go beyond the "Loading Level 1" screen. It just stays there forever. I'm loading the game from floppies, btw. I tried loading it using Relokick 1.3 but it's just the same. Tried the same settings with WinUAE and the behaviour is the same, once again. If I use kickstart 3.0 the game loads fine. I can't use Whdload because I ain't got enough RAM. Please help, I'd really like to play this game... |

Why do you need 3.1 kick if you havn't got ram to run WHDL?
If you upgrading you got to keep going otherwise keep machine in original spec I think. I can't think of anything else than ACA with maprom for you. |

Kickstart 3.1 is not that different from Kickstart 3.0. Something else is wrong. Try a different ADF or use WHDLoad. (it's not like he went from Kickstart 1.3 to 3.1!)

I'm upgrading my machine. I'll get a memory upgrade really soon.

kickstart 3.1 is very buggy and lot of floppy games like Gods don't work on it
even kickstart 3,1 have all pcmcia bugs while Kickstart 3.0 is bugfree it is always better to stay with Kickstart 3.0 on the A1200 in my case I returned to Kickstart 3.0 after I discovered tons of bugs, ( I sold the kick 3.1 romkit) |

How about holding down both mouse buttons during power up of your A1200, then in the menu disable CPU cache, AGA settings, and select kick v1.3?
Maybe that's what you mean by "Relokick 1.3", not sure. Last edited by modrobert; 10 June 2013 at 07:06. |

@modrobert, I just tried that (disabling the CPU cache and the AGA chip) but I still have the same problem... it sucks

Indeed, gods is a great game, but it was hard IIRC.

kickstart 3.1 is not "buggy". Many games were not coded to run with it along side. Gods is a kickstart 1.3 game.

I had this problem with an original copy of the game (i also tried cracked copies too) and kickstart 3.1 (Amiga Technologies)
but WHDLoad version worked fine (of course you'll need a HD for that) |

Until you get your ram upgrade you could try Gods WHDLoad version with tooltype "ExpChip" what should use chipram then instead of other ram. Here it doesn`t work but it may for you.

@MadHatt3r: you can try the hd-installer of gods by Jean-François Fabre - do you have a hd running, i guess?
you need lzx from aminet to uncompress the installer archive. lha you will need too, from aminet. and you need latest jst (v4.8) for using Fabre's patches. readme of the gods installer says, it is running on kickstart 3.1 . it also says: To run the game on a A1200/NoFast computer, either boot without startup-sequence and set HDLOAD option or set LOWMEM option. Edit: readme also says: "This installer requires the Gods original disks (there are 2)." what version is he refering to - which version does work with Fabre's installer, anyone? answer: installation was successfully using the CAPS version - want more info on CAPS-image - msg me. ------ edit: i uploaded an installed version i made using winuae . look into the zone - join the zone-group, then you see a new button "The Zone!" near the "logout" button. download "Gods-JST-installed.lha" and extract elsewher on your hdd. open a shell/cli and type: lha x Gods-JST-installed.lha ensure you have installed jst 4.8 as described above. change the tooltype inforation of the GodsHD icon ( in workbench , select GodsHD icon -> workbench menu: icon->information ) SAVEDIR=s: LOWMEM the tooltype lines must look like above, without the brackets "()". read the readme file for more instructions - just try Edit: added SNX-GODS.LHA , another HD installation, just extract and start the game.

"Sanxion" HD-version works under KS3.1 too, its worth a try.
Looks good to me, you can even quit back to WB. |

guess i found it: SNX-GODS.LHA , will test and upload an installed version to the zone.
edit: added into the zone. extract SNX-GODS.LHA - switch on workbench menu option: Window -> Show -> All Files ( folder "gods" in the archive has no icon, so you must switch the option, to see it ). btw: snx installed version is on PGC disk #10 on fileserver folder: Commodore_Amiga/Collection/BBS/ .
