Managed to get Deluxe Paint III to run, yesterday. Ooooh, exciting!

-=-=-



Not too hard, now that I'm remembering how on earth to do most of these things. Amiga+V to cancel a request, and Amiga+B to confirm, have been incredibly useful things to spring back into my mind.

Why does MacOS not let you do that? Would certainly be helpful.
Hmm..

Oooh, a nice guide with some of my favourites?
I can already rhyme 50% of the list off the top of my head.
Deluxe Galaga, Megaball, Master Blaster, Cybernetix, Super Obliteration, Bob's Garden all being PD/Shareware games
Lemmings II, Frontier : Elite II, Speedball II, (all the 2's!!) Arcade Pool, Chaos Engine, Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer all being commercial games.
Oooh yeah!!

Currently I'm unsure if the commercial games will be runnable from the Compact Flash at all.
Amiga games on disk either exist as standard disks, or the Amiga's bootloader has the ability to change the format of the disk entirely. This makes the disks unreadable from Workbench/Dos, and the filesystem labels them as "NDos" disks.
There's a world of WHDLoad out there, which allows commercial games to be installed to the hard drive, but whether those work on a Compact Flash drive remains to be seem.

.. Still waiting on that 1Mb Expansion card to find out exactly what I can and can't do with this setup.

Once I can start to get things running well, I'll probably post a few little blogs about me enjoying myself far too much, followed by 18 months of Frontier : Elite II posts, and a distinct lack of actual AGameAWeek content
