Awesome (Psygnosis)

Hello,

Any ideas why Awesome wont load?

Stock Amiga 500 in WinUAE (512 Chip, 512k slow, 1.3 ROM, OCS) and using the 4 disk version 'Awesome (1990)(Psygnosis)(Disk 1 of 4)(Intro 1)[cr CLS]'

Wont load the intro sequence, goes past the cracktro, reads one track then screen flashes red, no guru just sits there and does nothing.

I know I dont need the intro just want it for old times / nostalgia reasons.

Thanks.

Works fine here using the 'most common' A500 quickstart. You need to change to disk 2 of 4 when the screen flashes and press the fire button.

Ohhh. I get it - many thanks!!

EDIT: I was also at turbo emulation speed for the disk drive which meant it didn't work too.

The cracked version with the intro has four disks. Looks like the intro doesn't fit on one standard 880k disk.

Ah, that explains it. I had all original Psygnosis games in big boxes.
