Working copy of Mega Typhoon ECS game?

[ImmortalA1000]

Not sure this is where I should post this but......

I tried to run Mega Typhoon in just about every combination of OCS/ECS 512kb to 2mb 512kb chip to 1mb chip KS1.3 and KS2.0

Guess what? Neither of the two ADFs in the Tosec work, even the trainer doesn't appear on screen on one version with t+5 trainer in label

It either stops on track 51 or track 71 with a black screen.

Can someone furnish me with an ADF that works and confirm it is just a stock ECS 1mb chip ram and lest me know if it needs any Fast ram as an A500plus game?

Thanks

have u also tried cycle exact?
Most old games require cycle exact to work,

Same request here. I transfered it but i can only launch it on my A1200, allthough the game is normally done for the A500.

Obviously this game needs at least Kickstart 2.x and 1 MB memory.

edit: Just tried it in WinUAE with an A500 Quickstart, most common, compatibility slider most left but with KS 2.04. it works fine with this release (Planet Emu ADF). So, the game needs no ECS and works with 512KB Chip+512KB Slow ram.

That explains why it can't be launched on my A500, my kickstart is 1.3. Thanks for the information Retro-Nerd .

To clarify, I can get the previous TOSEC release without the trainer to work fine (no use to me) but the one with the trainer in either the previous or the newest TOSEC gets to a certain point and stops (either track 51 or track 71 depending which trained version you use).

It does work on the non trained ADFs I have but without a trainer it really is of little interest to me, I just want to see the game running not spend months learning how to play it just to make a HD video of it running on the later insane levels. So if anyone can get the trained version to work (tried 512kb A500, 1mb A500, 1mb Chip + KS2 A500+ and unexpanded A1200 configs all with cycle exact and minimum speed on floppy drive of 100%) please either attach the file or point to where you got it from and what exact settings and WINUAE version you are using it on (tried it with 1.45 and the latest release btw and identical problem).

Fire and Brimstone is another one that is damned iffy to use on trained version but works fine on non trained plain vanilla crack too.

Okay, I got the +5 version working

Needs (at least that's how it worked for me): A1200 quickstart, KS 3.1, 2 MB Chip + some Fast (2 MB will do). Trainer menu uses cursor keys and return to navigate and change the options.

P.S.: Turns out the trainer doesn't work still... none of the options seem to do anything. Hopefully somebody can have a closer look if there's any hope to get that trainer working with those information.

I remember that some trainers were useless with wrong memory configuration.

First time I've ever seen an A500 chipset game need an expanded A1200 setup eek!

Cheers for the info thought TCD, will check it out see if I can get it to work. Did you use the trained version from the latest TOSEC or the previous TOSEC? They show different file names for me.

Both disks are identical (same CRC), but somebody renamed it. That happens quite often with TOSEC disks these days So it doesn't matter which one you use, both will work the same (bad) way
