Except UAE4ALL. That one's a bitch.

It was until I realised that I was trying to run zipped adf's, now it is my mistress.


Hakman: If you are having any problems and don't want to make a post about it, you can pm me with any emulation questions and I'll try to help.

 

[Blue Protoman]

I can't get it running.

 

[Sugar_Kane]

What happens when you try to run it?

What happens when you try to run it?

Today I tried Gravity Force. Fine. I get to the title screen (cracked version, by the way), then after entering the password, the screen goes blank. I can return to the emulator's menu. Dunno about sound, I tested in Study Hall without headphones. I tried another game or two (forget which ones), with similar results.

 

[Sugar_Kane]

Ah ok, well as long as the game does run then it might be because of a bad sector on the game disk that was ripped to make the .adf.


There are a few games that I've tried that crash halfway through loading (damn you brataccas), and I think that this is down to a duff disk image rather than being UAE's fault.

So what can I do?

 

[vadsamoht]

Presumably just get a new image.

Thank you but you would not know what you would getting yourself into.


Pandora muck perhaps :mellow:

Proto - Yes you can only try to find a different .adf file. I just tried my version of Gravity force and it does the same as yours, and I've cleaned up all my files with tosec so it's probably just a bad dump.

Any indicating marks in the filename I should look out for? My "source" has all the info in the name of the ROM.

In my experience, (!) is used to designate a flawless rip.

 

[Blue Protoman]

I know, but I also know that different platforms often have their own special marks.

 

[Sugar_Kane]

As far as I'm aware there are no such marks on amiga adf's. I've also found some games only have one version available, for instance I've only been able to find a single version of Brataccas, and that one crashes.


There might just be some wacky parameters that these games require to run properly that I am unaware of.

 

[Blue Protoman]

Strange, as I make it a priority to obtain ROMs with a [!] in them, or without a [b(x)] if that's not an option. Guess I'll have to do this the hard way.
