somebody said that they had problem with some demos from that disk.
Well, I downloaded it (from xanth). puttrax'ed it and booted it .
Something from the Startup-sequence gurued the computer.
Fair enough, I booted from a system disk and accessed the files one by one
without all the fancy menu (powermenu ?) from the newsflash disk.
Coma : it decompressed (lines of color) and then froze there. I guess it needs
a pal machine
Cebit : it decompressed and ran rather well. even on a ntsc machine.
I have heard that on a pal machine, it looks better and that some part
(which have to be in chip ram) are not skipped .
by the way, I have a 500 with 1meg but without the fat agnus (so no pal
emulation capable) .
yes, I have had some problem with Puttrax. (file not found + guru)
something that seemed to help was to CD to the dir with the file AND to
specify the full path where the file is . I havent tried to put the file in a
subdir and see the frequency of gurus occuring and I am not about to try to
check it out .
