Green 5

Aardvark · 02 May 2020, 06:21

Green 5 is a great PD Prince of Persia style game, WHDLoad version would be really nice. Not HD installable, and sometimes it freezes when changing floppies. Author is providing the game for free on his website http://www.saintpaint.com/Links.htm

I would appreciate ADFs as this game was requested to add to Lemon, with the link above. Problem is the dowloadable file is some .exe, which is a bit suspicious to me. If anyone could try it and disassemble to ADFs (or prepare whdload, as Aaardvark suggests), I will be thankful..

The .exe is seemingly harmless installer of an ancient WinUAE. I updloaded ADFs from it to the Zone.

Great, thank you. I do not want to experiment with those installers, they could corrupt my current setup.

Thanks, I have downloaded and fired the game. I am a bit confused, though. There are 3 ADFs and this is what I see at the beginning of the game:

explains it a bit.

Well, the game seems to work with old generic slave. It is not a perfect solution but better than nothing.

(check the zone, if you want

)

damn it looks very good! reminds me of Another World too.

If someone is looking for the amiga kickstart rom it's in the installer...

Anyone tried the other game ? (Dreamsteam). I can create installs for those 2 games if needed. If it works with generic slave, not sure if really needed, except if fixes/cheats/joypad controls are needed.

Thanks, but I get "error parsing global configuration file line 10" error when running it. I think this old generic slave is not compatible with WHDLoad 18.5 prefs file? Is there a convenient workaround?

Game runs after disabled ConfigDelay and SavePath lines in WHDLoad.prefs, but the game gets stuck in black screen when prompted to insert another disk.

Well, the old generic slave is really old (over 20 years

) and not compatible from version 16.6 so I added older versions of WHDLoad to the package. But you can easily use several versions of WHDLoad on one computer. You can change the Prefs file from 18.5 v to 16.0 v-> (I think that's the easiest solution)

How far the game works, I can not say you, I tried it briefly on a 040 Blizzard and emulator, everything went well. If you have any problems, you can try WHDLoad options. On my 040 CPU the NOMMU and NOCACHE are always required otherwise I have some crashes .....

I'm going to have a look. That's what dedicated installs are for

the aim is to provide easy to use and minimally configurable slaves.
