Hi JOTD,
I tried your new installer a few seconds ago, but still gettin' error "unsupported version". I installed the game new from original disk.

Hi

can you use "readadf" from WinUAE package to create an extended .adf ? I could boot from it. I can't recreate floppies from MFM or WWP (I can install it, but the version is very different)

Hi,
sorry, but I don't have a floppy on my PC for using that program. I only have a real A4000.

it doesn't matter. readadf is a program that you run on amiga. It's part of the winuae package but it's a native amiga proggy like wwarp.

I tried it a few seconds ago but can't execute on amiga. In description there is written "Windows is required".

sorry, I was talking about "transdisk" in "Amiga programs" of Winuae installation.

Ahhh okay, I have transdisk but the disk is 100% copylocked and transdisk can't read copylocked disks so when I try to make a image there are only Read-Error in cause of the copylock.

Well, okay, to create a proper image you'd need Kryoflux or SCP. There's only one non copiable track IIRC. others are nibblable. But for some reason I could not recreate the tracks with the .MFM or .wwp. But I could install using .wwp.

never mind. I have your version of the game running here now :). What surprises me is that it starts with the MGM parody right away, without any intro pic.

Oh that sounds good :)

yeah what you say is right, but it's a original release. On the top of the packing there is a sticker "AMIGA LIMITED EDITION Requires 1 MegaByte" so it seems to be not the first release.

yeah, I know it's an original release. I'd be eager to know the differences between this 1MB and other 512kb releases
