@Tom-Cat

Hi,
I have an A500 Rev.6A ACA500Plus Only 68000 @ 14Mhz with 7MB Ram FastRam WITH HYPERION OS 3.1.4.1
I just finish to verify it with a complete new install from File SPS IPF 2659.
But I can confirm You that this game works on my ACA500PLUS with the latest Slave.
Did You removed ToolType NoVBRMove from info file ?
Could You retry it with You ACA500Plus @14 Mhz Or @28 Mhz
If it doesn't works at @ 14 MZ, in that case Could You retry a new installation with latest install tool (v1.1.1)?
Best regards,
Pascal

Hello

I just did all that you asked for:
- Changed the Frequency to 14 and 28 Mhz. No change - still freezes at start.
- Reinstalled the game completely from the same SPS image (2659) and latest install 1.1.1 - working fine in WinUAE but when started on my A500 + ACA500+ it does not start. freezes with blackscreen in the beginning.
I have tried several memory options too, all the same behaviour.

Tried your exact configuration (screenshot of it attached) - same symptoms. Black screen when starting, doesn't go further. F10 still quits.

note ~0009186

Tom-Cat (reporter)

Wrong screenshot attached. Attaching my configuration which should be the same as yours. baffled :(

note ~0009187

Tom-Cat (reporter)

YES ! WHDLoad 18.6 beta WORKED !!! Thank you so much !

note ~0009188

Pascal De Maeseneire (reporter)

Strange... Do You update to 18.6 Beta ?
On your ACA500Plus Do You use lastest firmware Menu system V0.135 (september 30th, 2019) ?

@Wepl
Hi, for myself I think You can close now.
But for this game and with some configurations, please could you add a warning about necessity to use whdload 18.6 for players who use an ACA500PLUS an probably an ACA500 too.
Best Regards,
Pascal
