Valhalla games require amiga 1200??

[nixxj]

I remember playing this on my amiga 500 back in the day but I cannot find a version that will run on my amiga 600 via whdl they just ask for a better cpu...

Any ideas why?

[diablothe2nd]

you're right. I played this from floppy on my A600 with 2mb ram.

errr, IIRC the game has a HD installer on the floppies... infact i'm sure it does as I had it on my 600's hd in its later years of life back in the day. Did you try that?

[diablothe2nd]

aha, yep it does run from HD.

Here's the manual on how to install it:

I sadly dont have the original anymore, I think I am stuck... unless I can somehow install it via winuae and copy it over.

[diablothe2nd]

that's certainly one way of doing it.

another would be to transfer the adfs and a program called ADF2Disk (find that on aminet) then get yourself some blank floppies to restore the adf onto a real floppy.

the reason i suggested doing it that way is WHDLoad needs a little extra ram and power to run well. without an accelerator or more ram than 2mb, I think that's why you're having problems with it.

There is an hdf containing all 3 Valhallas floating around the tinternet.

Also I would open a shell and 'type> copy df0: {hd dest} ALL' for HD Installation.

Thanks guys, well I do actually have 4mb ram total (604 expansion + original 1mb + 2mb sdram card.

The main problem is that I dont see why the Whdload versions require an amiga 1200... and thinking of it I had the same issue with buck rodgers... and I clearly remember that on my amiga 500 back in the day.

are you sure it requires a 1200,im asking becuase im sure its just the kickstart image thats required for whdload



i.e: these two files...

kick40068.A1200
kick40068.A1200.RTB

You don't need WHDload to play this game. Once all 6 disks have been copied to the HD it can be started from the Valhalla icon. Works on A600 1mb fine.

Hi yes the WHDLoad packs say it requires a 68020 when I try and run them as do a few games such as Buck Rogers. No apparent reason.

[roy bates]

wow you right,ive just tried it on my wifes a600.

whats it need a 020 for? anyway i managed to get it to run by going into the data folder and clicking on the beforethewar icon,but the copy protections there.oh well.

[roy bates]

valhalla is in the zone for you and it works on a A600,let us know how you get on will you.


its not a whdload pack,just drag and drop to you harddrive.

[nixxj]

Thanks very much I will take a look

[roy bates]

it wasent a problem,if you can tell us if it works on your system that would be great.

[nixxj]

Hi well I copied them over lastnight and ran the first game... the intro kicked in and all was good... then it booted me back to Workbench ... I didnt have my extra 2mb sdram in at the time (so I just had under 2mb avail) so I would imagine and hope it was that.

I will try again later.

[roy bates]

oops..........i seem to of packed the wrong version,my mistake


its in the zone.

[nixxj]

Doh!, np thanks

[roy bates]

btw it runns without extra ram and with, ive only tried one and two i havent tried the third one mind you.

[nixxj]

Hey again sadly the first game had the same issue (the reupload) the 2nd works fine. I have yet to try the 3rd.

[roy bates]

are you sure? it works here.



give me a sec i'll try again........
