Games that doesn't work on the gotek

Post by Tuxxxer »

I guess and hope that the list won't become long.

One game i found that doesn't work at the moment.
Desert Strike.

I tried several versions of the game, adf, hfe and hfe rev2..
With fs-uae and other firmware the game runs.

The game loads until the first disk change. When there is the screen
with the green disk 2 on it saying "Insert Disk", nothing happens.
The display shows that the track count wents over 145 and so on..
The gotek doesn't seem to notice the disk change.

Maybe not important but the sequel game "Jungle strike" runs without
a problem (adf tested).

Status update: Fixed with Firmware 3.0.6.1a (Thanks so many times Jeff :))

Dungeon Master..

Problem: "Damaged Master Disk"

Dungeon Master does a read/write access when starting the game from the adf, hfe whatever. The solution
with the cortex was to set the "write protected" and "archive" flag for the file. With WinUAE it works the same way.

The MD5 checksums changes after trying to load the game.

Maybe a question for similar games that do r/w on the file when loading.. Is there a hint how one can protect
the game from destroying itself?

Status update: Working after following the instructions of the mastermind (Copying fresh autoboot.hfe to stick)

Thanks once again Jeff :D

Dungeon Master.
I didn't reproduce the issue here.
But the behavior you got seems to indicate that there is one virus somewhere.
overwrite the autoboot.hfe, it may be infected.
