Request: MegaTraveller 1&2
It'd be good to have WHDLoad installers for MegaTraveller and MegaTraveller 2.
Both are DOS games and the original has its own installer but they also have manual protection. |

Hi, I also have the original game 1 + 2!
I recently bought a pre-installed CF card my my amiga 1200 which has WHDload and this game on it. Is it not a WHD installed version of it? I'm having a problem with the game crashing very early on when I try to take my party on board the interloper... ! Edit- I've just checked it is WHDload- game version 1.0 from 2009. But it isn't on the WHD download page now. Can I install my original disks to my CF Card? Thanks Last edited by fluff79; 05 April 2022 at 07:50. Reason: to update an answer to my question |

Native installations of both games works fine even on A1200+060 system.

Thanks Aardvark. Do you mean installing straight from the floppy when you say native installation? Or what I have on WHDload? Do you think I might need to add some commands to the icon like NOMMU etc?

Straight from floppies. MT1 comes with an HD installer, but MT2 files needs to be copied manually.

You sure about that?
Isn't at least one of the Megatraveller games protected with Copylock? |

As far as I know neither is protected, but I haven't checked. Part 1 definitely isn't as the manual for part 1 says:

Hopefully they work and are good enough until someone steps up to create dedicated installs. |

Interestingly though, TheA500 only accepting WHDLoad installs suddenly makes having an install for every game a necessity. That's a whole other topic of discussion though. (and probably won't be an issue in firmware updates when they inevitably will support ADF/HDF files). |

Thanks both, I will see if I can get the version I have now working, otherwise I will try to install the game from my disks (if they still work). Just a bit cautious about using floppies after such a long time!

BlueAchenar posted working slave (even though the version number is still 1.0) on this thread, that one doesn't crash when boarding the ship.
https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=41690&page=8 Also according to Mad-Matt, the MegaTraveller version included in Space Legends compilation contains Copylock protection, the original release definitely doesn't have that. |
