Question OCS Only Games

I have just got a A500 kick 1.3 and also own an A600.

I wondered are then any OCS only A500 games, I know a lot of older games cause Software Failure on ECS machines, but can work using a degrader.

But I wondered were there any true OCS ONLY games that need the ocs chipset specifically?

Thanks in advance.

Most "popular" are Eliminator and Double Dragon 2 (first revision). Both have garbled graphics if ECS Agnus is installed.

AFAIK early EA games don't work because they need KS 1.2 or 1.1, it is not chipset issue.

Two searches to reduce the possibilities.

That's correct! Decryption used in the early EA games uses high bytes of the exception vectors which are different on later Kickstart versions of course hence decryption doesn't work, game crashes. Not a chipset issue at all.

Is the garbled graphics just on the crack intro?

No, check the notes on HOL for Double Dragon 2 (http://hol.abime.net/395) and StingRay's post about Eliminator here: http://eab.abime.net/request-old-rar...tml#post839367
