Hi,
After multiple try I found some to resolve problems about Your latest slave 2.5 512 k or 1MB.
If I downgrade my ACA500PLUS (Only 68000) at @7MHZ in that case your both lastest slave works correctly on my system...With slave 2.3 it was good with @14 MHZ
But all other WDHload games works with standard (@14mhz default by factory).
Did You changed something about speed processor between 2.3 and 2.5 ?
I tried the same @7 MHZ with Gods Game but nothing change with slave 3.0 only 2.3 works on my ACA500Plus.

Best regards,
Pascal

You could check Chaos Engine 2 slave with EXPCHIP and report back

I'm very sorry nothing rings a bell and I don't have a ACA500PLUS to test (I just have an old A500 with 2MB memory that I never use) but I may buy one :)

Hi,
Don't be sorry, You make a wonderfull works....
I have tried many toolTypes on Your both latest slaves v2.5(normal slave & 1MB Slave)
I tried, EXPCHIP & EXP24BIT (With Message Can't allocate EXPMem) they doesn't start the game...(ONLY 68000)
Tried too EXPLocal (no message about ExpMem) the game start but only black screen.
In all cases QuitKey works.
Maybe, as I wrote You Yesterday about Gods Game, can you have a look about some informations with ACA500 Memory on wiki aca500Plus from Icomp (Creators of ACA systems)

They said : If you are a programmer, or just interested in how the ACA500plus works internally, you can find lots of information here: ACA500plus_registers

http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/ACA500plus_registers

I Remember You My config:
A500 REV 6A ECS (512+512) WITH AN ACA500PLUS @14 MHZ (ONLY 68000 CPU WITHOUT OTHERS ACC. CARDS) WITH CONFIG CHIP 1M + 7MB FAST BUT WITH SPECIAL CHIP OPTION VBRMOVE (SPECIFIC ACA500POLUS WITH 68000 FOR QUITKEY USAGE).
Have a good time,
Best Regards,
Pascal
