Space Crusade and a meditating guru
I'm using the latest WinUAE, with kick 1.3 and am trying to play Space Crusade. When I start the emulation, I can see the Gremlin logo (with sound) and the starting screen where the marines shoot with bolters. After that the images fade out and after a moment of staring at the black screen I get the infamous red error message, saying "Guru meditation, press left mouse button to continue". When I click the button, the emulation restarts and the error appears again. What could be the problem?

Hi!
Try uploading your config file, and maybe someone smarter than I am will look at it and find the flaw. Posting your system specs can be useful too. |

Okay. After some fiddling with that configuration (changing the paths and turning it full screen), I managed to get the game running. You only had disk 2 in the floppy section. Was that because of the fact that you need to change disks when starting the battle? Having both disks selected didn't seem to work. Space Crusade doesn't support several disk drives (which I understand are emulated)?
One big problem is this: It's very difficult to move the mouse cursor vertically. Horizontal directions cause no problems. I also noticed that by disabling sounds, I can move the cursor more easily, but still not easily enough. If I use the keyboard to control the cursor it moves swiftly, but a working mouse would be many times faster and a LOT more enjoyable. I have played one other game on WinUAE besides this one. It was Oil Imperium and while playing I noticed a very similar problem. In one part of the game (the pipelining) vertical mouse movement became practically impossible. I didn't think of disabling sound then, so I don't know how that would've affected it. Anyhow, do you have any thoughts on this? Is my computer just too crappy (Celeron 366MHz, with 288Mb of RAM)? It would just seem logical that every direction would be affected by this thingy, not just the vertical ones. Arrr... |

Good to hear that I'm not the only one. Any idea how often the emulator is updated? I hope getting the fix wouldn't take months.
Anyway, thanks to you all for help. |

Quite often, depends on Toni's time schedule. But Brian King times are over. Brian wasn't bad, but due to his extremely tight time schedule release intervals had even exceeded six months sometimes...

It's a pity, because I would've wanted to play this game during the Christmas holidays, now that MOO3 didn't get released in time. Oh well, maybe I'll get Archon working.
And also: Hi Andreas! Do you know the language already? .) |
