Phantaisie 3 trouble with WinFellow 1.3
Hi people I'm new to the board.
Thanks for keeping up this cool place ![]() I've just installed WinFellow and was delighted to be able to play Phantaisie 3 again, everything was fine, my characters have reached level 5, and then when I started the emulator, it would give me the message 'can't read floppy 1' with option 'retry' or 'cancel. if I don't do anything it would keep on booting until I have the game menu, I click on loading a previously saved game but it goes black screen forever. Anyone can help ? I've lost hours of play ![]() Thanks very much |

Is WinFellow is giving you this message, or AmigaOS?
It sounds like your Phantasie 3 ADF may have become corrupt, eg. perhaps emulator was shut down while ADF was being written to. Perhaps you could try DiskSalv or something similar on it... |

Thanks Minuous
![]() It is a AmigaOs message, something like reading error, would you happen to know were I can find stuff like DiskSalv or Diskdoctor ? and how to go to workbench ? Have a nice day |

DiskSalv is available from http://aminet.net/disk/salv/DiskSalv4.lha . (I wouldn't suggest using DiskDoctor as it can make the problem(s) worse.) Also http://aminet.net/util/arc/lha.run so you can decompress DiskSalv.
As far as going to Workbench, you'd need to get eg. a Kickstart 3.1 ROM image and Workbench 3.1 ADF, try googling for them. |

thanks
Now WinFellow doesn't want to start anymore. Well it actually starts but remains an icon in the task bar, and refuses to spread out when I click on it....so strange...I'm running win xp in case this has something to do with the problem... |

IIRC WinFellow has problems running OS2.0+, and various other issues, I'd suggest using WinUAE instead.

If ADF is corrupted nor DiskSalv nor Diskdoctor will help. In a distant past, when piracy was very popular in amiga world, there were many corrupted disk games copies on market, patched with X-COPY. On first sight, the disks were fine but the game was crashing (not instant, on second, third level or even later). Today's adf are in most from that time.
