Ultima 6 on a real 1200

01 January 2003, 19:39

I cannot get Ultima VI working on following system:

A1200 3.0
Blizzard 1230-IV/50 with 16mb ram

I disable cpu caches, use original chipset and even use the degrader program but the game kicks me back to desktop when I click journey onward. I remember that I could get it working from floppies years ago but I'd like to use my HD this time.

Any suggestions?

I also would like to use a ntsc screen but the game displays a message explaining that version of the game is for pal amigas only and refuses to load. Does anyone have a NTSC Ultima6?

Coooddddddyyyyyyy!!!!!

You have to disable fast RAM, I think...

A pity, because the fast RAM speeds the game up!

Thank you, the game works now

But how can fast ram speeds the game up if the game doesn't work with fast ram? Does this mean I can get the game working with another brand/model accelerator with fast ram?

I also cannot run my version under 60hz. Is there a tool available that makes the machine run under 60hz but keeps the system thinking, it's 50?

I think I've got it working before with the fast RAM, but recently I've been unable to replicate it. My own memory might be faulty, though!

I've campaigned for a WHDLoad-fixed version, but it might be a bit difficult to do.

I'm not sure about the NTSC/PAL stuff - anyone else?

Not that I know of.

I don't necessarily think so.
It might also be that you mucked with some cache ON/OFF settings or were using one of the "degrading" tools.

Discovering that will be great, I think I already checked all the possibilities of Degrader and the Early Startup Menu.

Perhaps it works up to a certain amount of fast RAM, because I had 4Mb in those days and now have 32Mb...

That's probable, Cody.

Allocating RAM doesn't help, I guess I should have a lesser amount of psyhical RAM if that's the cause. I'm playing with tude but I'm yet to see a positive result.

That's suprise. On my A1200 game works fine without any problems.

CodyJarrett · 01 February 2003, 21:49

How much fast RAM do you have?

haynor666 · 01 February 2003, 22:06

8 Mb of Fast... but to make sure it's really working and in which env. works I'll intall and run this game once again. Tomorrow I present results.

Or at sunday... I don't have time right now... again.
