Amiga games successfully installed on Harddisk

@Retrogamer

Jungle Strike is another that i didn't rember. It is a third party installer and require 1 MB chip RAM + 1 MB Fat RAM, kickstart 2.x/3.x
After these list, i will add more specific info about memory requirement and kickstart.

I had Marble Madness, originally an OCS game, installed with a third party installer on my Amiga 1200, Blizzard 1230 IV, and Fast Ram. When I remember correctly, I had it from Aminet in late 90's.

That list seems more useful though - of the games where it doesn't work. Perhaps it can be rooted out how to do it.

games that i cannot install was to request of floppy disk with correct assign. Some games i resolved copying the game in the root, other start with boot disk, but these solution don't work for all games.
Xiphos is a game that i never be able to install. It crashes after intro.

Well done! I have a soft spot for native HD installs. WHDLoad sort of seems like running this stuff under emulation. It is not how it was like back in the day. :-)

The ones that come with the game are nice but I don't shun the ones that came from the warez scene either.

Especially the old games that run under multitasking should all be HD installed natively or patched to not be hard coded to DF0. I've done a few with a hex editor in the past. :-)

Maybe in the future i will try again games that for now i'm not able to install. Maybe with some 3rd party installer even if these one are created for more known games

What's FatRAM?

WHDLoad version requires only 1MB ChipRAM. Additional memory is only for preload. So absolutely useless installer for me.

And don't be shocked if requirements for WHDLoad versions of same game would be lower.

Moreover third party installers very often works good only in similar config as installer maker has. To check this pick better CPU and add some memory (e.g 32MB). Not that nice this time?

So, don't be surprised if some people start writing to You "Game X doesn't work on my config".

In many cases no. See my post above why.

WHDLoad version require 1 MB chip RAM + 1,8 or 2,3 MB Fast RAM because you must use "preload" option to avoid slowdown. You can try to play without it, but you will bave continue switching to the OS to load data directly from the harddisk.
