Trouble finding working config (A500)

AmigaMag · Newcomer Joined: 15 Dec 2011 Posts: 6

I wanted to run a magazine cover disk called:
Stampede Amiga, with a demo of Turrican.

The disk originally ran on my stock Amiga 500, with 512meg.

However I am unable to get this disk to run using UAE, when trying what I thought was an Amiga 500 setup.

Can anyone help me with a configuration which works?

A version of this disk image for testing purposes can be found at:
http://planetemu.net/?section=roms&dat=376&action=showrom&id=516926

Thank you.

Not absolutely certain, but it seems the image is bad. Could
be another copy is required to work--this one may take me time
to be certain whether it is the config or the disk image itself.

Someone else (?) here may beat me to it...

Thanks for your reply.

I tested with another disk image (available on the following page) and had the same results:
Link - shortened so it doesn't break the forum width

I might just be missing the secret config to make it work, if that is indeed a different version of the image.

It is not an easy to find disk and my original has long since perished.

Is there anyone out there that is an expert at getting the correct config for such disks?

have a read and see if it helps you out any.

Also use the Turrican (1990)(Rainbow Arts)[cr PNA][h ECI][t +4 PNA](Disk 1 of 2).zip disks, from the planetemu site, its the full turrican game, insted of just the demo.

Thanks for getting back about this issue cerium88.

The thing is, the demo disc actually has a music track and demo intro, which I really want to see/hear again. This is not on the full game, but only on this demo disk.

Is this something you could try with your configurations, incase I am missing something, or the files are actually corrupt.

Perhaps someone has a working copy?

Hi,

By listening to the sound of the disk drive before the game decides to crash, would suggest the problem is either one of the following: A form of Copy Protection or bad sectors on the disk. I think personally it seems to be some kind of copy protection which quite a few games used. (I could be wrong)..

I wonder is there a way to repair the disk image using something like DCopy?

Thanks everyone for chiming in.
