40k demos with no .info

stainy · 25 September 2021, 17:58

Hi..
I have a load of demos 40k ones. They don`t have an .info file ( icon is a spanner and screwdriver )
I run them and all I hear is the music.. no graphics. Mouse is frozen until it either finishes or I guess the demo crashes.
Any ideas how to get these to play nice. I`ve double checked most and they do have graphics which should show.

Thanks all

Select a native screen mode for Workbench, no graphics card.

I`m using Pimiga, which is 3.9 with Scalos on top. How would I go about trying to run them under that? I don`t want to mess with the WB settings etc..

What`s native? you mean with no RTG

iirc pimiga is build on top fo wb3.1.4, not OS 3.9. (at least one I have)

A good question here would be if other demos or games work properly

Can you attach some demos to test them?

But with what system? Some demos in OCS/AGA don't show graphics if you have RTG Workbench. You hear the sound only and return to workbench when finish to run.
