It's a scene release of Monkey Business - correct?! Where on earth did you find it??!!

EDIT: Can't get it to work on my A500 with KS1.3 and 512k chip, even with degrading. Always ends up resulting in a software failure. Anyone been able to get it to work?!

My Amiga Forever set to Emulate an A1000 with 512k kind of plays it. (I tried kickstarts from 1.0 to 1.2)
I can start it and see the sprites and move the character, climb, jump, etc.
But I can't see the background/girders, whatever. It's all a black screen.
I'll have to try the image on my real A1000 and see how it does.

OK, same on my A1000 with Kick 1.1.
On Kick 1.3, it wouldn't start.

Now, even with no girders/ladders and an all black background, I was a still able to jump and climb my way to level 2.
Same thing on level 2. Sprites, but no background.

this is correct
don't works fine here neither .Sprites, but no background
perhaps a bug on winuae or the game is bad cracked, or incomplete?

anyways this game is crap , I don't care

Mrz · 05 October 2018, 07:15

btw,

can anyone with a real A500 + kick 1.2 test this game?
disabling ram expansion could be required

Now we need a mid-eighties style crack intro and trainer.

Belgium BBS archive, les petits génies de la Charlemagnerie

It's a KS 1.2 512K of ram game. However, a part of the background doesn't appear under winuae, and i don't know why.

The game loads background data directly from disk tracks (only the main executable is file based).
But these tracks are zeroed.. (seems that only a bare file copy as been used)

Perhaps same problem like for Rock Challenge, someone used BAM Copy copier and track disk data are missing.

Worthy of a bad Belgian joke

But at that time there was no "cracking" team..

See my previous message (#21).
A Belgian 'import' from Italy.

It does not seem faked code, only naïf and really really old style

dlfrsilver · 05 October 2018, 10:51

argghhh so this means that this monkey use probaly MFM tracks :/

So we need to find it anyway

Amon_RA · 05 October 2018, 11:04

Same here - black screen with working mouse pointer on the real A500 set-up specified above. On the Workbench screen is a prompt indicating a software failure also. Game seems to need the full 512k chip or close to it, as well, probably because of the hires graphics used in-game. I got an insufficient memory message with less than 400-500k of available chipram.
