Dear all,
I've just taken delivery of Amiga Forever and am having problems loading games with more than two disks. I know this isn't an emulator, Kick ROM (I've got 1.3, 512kb) or Workbench issue as I've got some two disk games working.
Pinball Dreams, for example is on two disks. I insert disk 1 into DF0 and disk 2 in DF1 and it runs fine with settings adjustments. When I try to load a game with more than two disks though, I run into problems.
I'll use Pinball Fantasies as an example:
I'm trying to Load the Pinball Fantasies image set: (1992) (21st Century) (disk 1 of 3), (disk 2 of 3), (disk 3 of 3); all ADF files. There are other Pinball Fantasies image sets on the Amiga Forever DVDs, with suffixes like [cr SKR], [PDY], [HCC], [AGA] etc: am I just using the wrong set? I don't believe so as Pinball Fantasies works up to a point. Here's what happens:
I load UAE4all and do the following within the menu:
Load image disk: L (I press "L")
Select ROM: within my ROMs folder, I select Pinball Fantasies disk 1 and place it in drive DF0 by pressing B. I then load (press L) disk 2 into DF1 by pressing X.
Back at the menu, I enter the following settings:
Emu Bias: CPU
Frame skip: 2
GP2X overclock: 250mhz
Sound: off
Status ln: off (what is this anyway?)
Drive LED: on
I've found these to be the best settings for runnning Pinball Dreams (thanks to Critical).
I press R to run and Pinball Fantasies loads.
After the 21st Century and Digital Illusions flash screens, I'm given two tables to choose from by pressing F1 or F2. I press R to activate the virtual keyboard and Y to press F1, which is highlighted.
The screen turns black and the battery light is on, even though I'm running from the mains and have removed the batteries. I assume that the battery light is emulating the drive LED as I left this setting on in the menu?
I wait for up to ten minutes, long after the battery / drive light has gone out and the screen just remains blank. I expect a prompt to insert disk 3 but nothing happens.
I've further tried inserting disk 3 anyway:
I press Select to return to the emulator.
I eject the disk in DF1 by pressing Y, then load disk 3 in DF1 by pressing X.
I hit R to run but get a blank screen again.
Help!
I've also tried loading Pinball Illusions (4 disks) but just get the Workbench screen with disks 1 and 2 in DF0 and DF1 respectively.
Am I using the wrong set of disk images or doing something else, equally obvious, wrong?
Amiga Forever has cost me and I'd like to get some games running from it.
Apologies for length but I figure a detailed account will help to identify where I'm going wrong.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
