I know you have a "

Nostalgia obviously plays into the equation.

For the Amiga, check out Cinemaware's classics. It Came From The Dessert and Rocket Ranger to name two. Give the old girl more of a chance, there are some real gems for the Amiga. You don't seem to be a r[g player but Dungeon Master is not to be missed.

Hi

So I'm not really having much luck, and I so badly want to play Creatures on the train tonight.

Everything I try seems to fail.

I'm getting roms from c64.com, and nothing loads well.

Is there a guide to getting the best compatibility from this?

Cheers

What you can try, and this worked with creatures in my small test, is what has been mentioned before. Download frodo for PC or Mac.

http://frodo.cebix.net/

Then run frodosc.exe, load up creatures, in the preference section. Run it until you get into the game, meaning the first screen where you control the character, then save a snapshot called creatures.fss. Load this onto your card and run in FrodoDS. You may need to use 1541 emulation in frodo.fpr(test this in regular frodo.exe on PC. Remember any game that works in frodo.exe,will work in frodoDS.

You see there are three versions of frodo for PC/Mac. frodopc.exe is perfect cycle and frodosc is single cycle, frodo.exe is fastest but has least compatibility, where perfect is slower with better compatibility. The frodosc.exe/snapshot trick works with a lot of things.

Goodluck

what happens when you need to load in the second stage?

**crookedmouth** · July 12th, 2008, 05:24

Actually , it loads fine with just 1541 emulation on,so the second stage would load fine(slowly), however scrolling is broken. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

Omg new version of frodo, so exited always when comes new update on emulators

thank you so much for all who is working on emus

**phiitboi** · August 16th, 2008, 22:07

is it possible to fix those roms (.d64) wich wont work ? cause always wining about syntax error 0, not every game but most of them

what issues is on the line 0 ? i checked with that new frodos list command and there reads mostly webaddress in the line 0, what if i rub it off with some hexedit ?

would be really great to play most of those retrogames wich wont work now

thanks i appreciate yours job in coding emulators.
