Amiga emulation - help me figure this out guys :x
« on: January 30, 2012, 02:10:54 AM »
Edit: Nevermind, got it working, as typically happens after posting a ranting topic about it. I'll leave this post here just as a record of how annoyed this emulator makes me  :lol:

I've never gotten Amiga emulation working properly. This is the only forum I can imagine you guys won't mind rom links so I can request the following:

http://www.emuparadise.org/GameBase%20Amiga/Games/F/Fantasy%20World%20Dizzy.zip

I'd really appreciate it if someone could get this game working in WinUAE and tell me step by step what to do. I'm completely hopeless on my own, I've tried forever and just can't get it working at all. Here's what I've done:

You need Kickstart roms first, right?
http://tahirtas.tripod.com/Amiga/amiga2.html

So I assume the one you need loaded as Main ROM is the Kickstart 3.1. Now according to this site:

http://www.back2roots.org/Games/Find/?find=dizzy

Fantasy World Dizzy requires configuration ecs13, which I set by getting the appropriate file and setting it in the emu.
http://www.back2roots.org/Get/Configuration%20Files%2C1/

Now I load that config file in WInUAE, have Kickstart 3.1 loaded as Main ROM, and go to the Floppy area and choose DH01 as the .adf file for the game. It doesn't work though, it just goes to an intro from the group who cracked it and after that, pitch black. What could I POSSIBLY IN THE NAME THAT IS ALL HOLY AND GOOD ON THIS GREEN EARTH BE DOING WRONG!!!??  O.o  I even downloaded a program called Lemonade that supposedly configs all games for you so you just click and play, but now when loading the game through that it just keeps making these weird harddrive sounds while nothing happens.

I just need a step by step concise guide, and don't know where else to turn to. I've only ever gotten Amiga CD32 working in the past, in all my years I swear I'll never figure out how to get normal HD games working though. I feel so dumb, so it's come to this.

Someone, Step by Step. For my sanity. I beg of you.

Thanks :x

Nope, though I recently have looked there since I was playing the Genesis game and needed a FAQ :)

I notice the admin of that site seems to have a proto of an unreleased Dizzy game. Hope that gets dumped somehow eventually.

Ah, Barver! It's too bad I came to this topic too late. Assuming you didn't edit your topic just after making it, I would have been more than happy to help you work WinUAE.

Yeah, I remember when WinUAE gave me troubles way back in 2006. Still, it was cool to use/learn how to use. It's actually a great emulator, just too bad the community can be an issue sometimes.
