Pushover - perfection

what a game.

has anyone got Civ to work? and Dungeon Master?

I can't get Civ to work, all I can get working is a setup-program that wants to install it onto a harddisk. I don't think there is a harddisk option in there, but I could be (and hope I am) mistaken.

Yeah, ive had civ working.. from memory, there are 2 .prg files, one is an installer, the other (ICS.PRG?) runs the game from floppy. Again, I've been using the atari pirate gold disks DM works aswell, just a case of finding a good disk image. Of the 4 I tried, only one works. Good luck

Has anyone tried the following :-
Carrier Command ?

CC appears to work fine (although the speed of the music slows down a lot when frameskip is set to 0).

I took a Manta out for a spin, but I couldn't find anyway to take direct control and had to use the autopilot. This could be the problem with the emulator or I could have forgotten how to do it!

I have not fully tested any of these games from start to finish (I am no Sickboy! ). A working title is designated as working due to the fact that it boots without any issues and appears to accept the required input to allow interaction. Obviously where a game needs the use of more than one input device this can sometimes cause an issue with regards playability, however this can often be worked around.

Arkanoid - boots to title screen, cannot progress any further
Captain Blood - working
Carrier Command - working
Dungeon Master - working
Goldrunner - working
Hacker - working
Into The Eagles Nest - working
Joust - working
Llamatron - working
Macadem Bumper - displays loading screen then resets GP32
Marble Madness - working
Missile Command - working
Powerdrome - working
Starglider - mouse issue
Starglider 2 - mouse issue
Star Raiders - working
Sun Dog - working
Time Bandit - working
Virus - working
Winter Games - working

Some of games are the actual program and data rather than disk images. How can you run these under Castaway?

I use an ST emu called 'STeeM Engine' on my PC.. it has an option to map a directory to a HDD on the emulated ST. So copy the files into that dir, boot up the ST emu, and copy the files from the HDD onto a floppy.

I found a little program called MSA Converter 1.8
It does not only convert MSA files to ST, you can also create new .st-disk images and copy all the files you want via explorer
That's how I created a cubase disk

Yes, to play in Elvira 2, you need to pull the keyboard & press Space (or just any other key, I am not sure). Then you can play normally with the mouse.
I just love that game !

Which crack of Elvira are you using? I'm using the Ice crack which are .msa files... disk one is 714kb

I press space which brings up the do you want to load a saved game prompt however the mouse does not move

Has anyone got Microprose GP to work? If you choose quickrace you put in the disks it asks for and plays ok. However when you try a nonchampionship race and put in disk 4 castaway crashes and resets GP32.....

Adios,
Matt

Yes, I have had the problem occasionally. You need to turn off your GP32 & then reboot everything.
I have uploaded more games to my SMC, so I don't have Elvira 2 anymore, but the first disk is 840K.
I know I have tried 2 versions of the game & I never had a problem with any...
