Vital light question
Hello everyone and merry Christmas ! Hope that you enjoyed a lot if you celebrated .
A little question about the game "Vital light". I transfered the game and it perfectly works on my A1200 if you disable eveything except DF0 with "cpu no cache" and "OCS display" (but impossible to load it on my A500) and i noticed that the disks cracked by pirates (those aga fixed) are not the intro one but another version of the full game (that more over crashes on my A1200, i choosed the disks names 3/4 bootable and 4/4). I believed as the files names are 1/4 to 4/4 that the intro were the 2 first disc but apparently not. There is a pdx cracked version too in 2 disks. I can't try right now, so do someone know which adf is the intro one ? Thanks for your help ! |

Reiterated today to understand what's going wrong with this one but i couldn't find.
The set "Vital Light (1994)(Millennium)(Disk 1 of 2).zip" and "Vital Light (1994)(Millennium)(Disk 2 of 2).zip" runs with WinUAE but even doesn't boot on my ECS Agnus A500 (behaves like a blank disc 1 !). Can anyone tell me if there is a working set including the intro for an OCS/ECS KS1.3 A500 ? |

According to HOL this game is on 2 floppy disks: Vital Light
So the following tests were done in WinUAE... 2 disk version:
4 disk version [Skidrow]:
Now I haven't tried the [CD32] version but this Skidrow floppy disk set seems like it could possibly be a beta CD32 rip? Last edited by DamienD; 24 October 2016 at 22:00. |

The "2 disk version" runs well in WinUAE but doesn't boot at all on my A500 512Kb Chip & 512Kb Slow ECS Agnus with DF0 only, that's why i wonder if someone already run this set on a real machine.

"Does not boot"=? (It is dos bootable disk, it just can't become unbootable without disk errors)

This disc Toni "Vital Light (1994)(Millennium)(Disk 1 of 2).zip".
It runs well in WinUAE, but doesn't even boot on my A500. I insert the disc into my DF0 and it just behaves like if the floppy was a blank empty one, idk why. |

But what exactly happens? Insert disk screen reappears? Black screen? Something else?

Nothing special happens, just 3 tics of the DF0 motor to try to run it, then the Amiga hand appears again. Like if you insert a non formatted floppy.

It means bad transfer or bad disk (or bad drive). Normal ADF image can never be unformatted or damaged, it can only store valid DOS tracks.

Solved Tony !
The floppies are ok, i always use new Imation ones after have formatted them in "V" mode with X-copy (i have a working collection of about 2000 floppies). Apparently this one CAN'T be transfered on a HD floppy. I just tried on a DD and it worked, so i retransfered it on the HD one by hiding the floppy hole and it worked too. In 2 thousands floppies it is the very first one i meet that i can't run on a HD disc, just crazy lol. |
