[comp.sys.amiga] Ferrari Formula One and Kickstart 1.3?

tensi@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de (Thomas Tensi) (12/29/89)

Hi folks,

I have the following problem with FF1:

I added an autoboot hard disk to my Amiga 2000A and had the dealer also replace
Kickstart 1.2 by 1.3.

Now the following effect occurs: When I start Ferrari Formula One by booting
from the floppy, everything seems to go ok. But on any race track - as soon as
the car moves - strange ghost images occur in every frame.

Could it be that the hard disk is also booted and some tasks in the startup
sequence conflict with FF1? (I doubt about that).

I wouldn't like to disconnect the hard disk (or even change ROMs!) any time I
want to play FF1...

               Thanks

                     Thomas Tensi

  You are correct, Ferrari Formula One will not work with Kickstart 1.3.
FF1 was the first game I bought for my B2000 at Christmas of 1988, and like
your copy it would crash when I tried to drive the car (I didn't have a
hard disk, so that's not the determining factor).  I called EA and they
admitted FF1 wouldn't work with KS 1.3, and that they had no plans to
upgrade it.  I returned my copy; too bad, it looked like a neat game.
