I recently got Dungeon Master, and am playing it on my 2500.
I was wondering if anyone has expirence playing it on a 68020 based system
as opposed to a stock 68000.
It appears to work OK on the '020 system. I seem to "run out of light"
fairly quickly, but that may be normal.
The only weirdness I have discovered is that a saved game disk, that was
formatted and written to on '020 mode, CANNOT be read (by Dungeon Master)
when booted in 68000 mode! I havn't tried the opposite scenerio yet.
I have just gotten through the first level, and want to see which mode
I should be running in before I commit myself to further levels.
I plan to contact the manufacturer about this, but there is no phone
number in the manual, just a PO box number, so it may be a while
before I receive a response, if I get one at all, on this.
Thanks in advance.....
Dave

I played it on my 1000 & 2500 (after I upgraded) for months (O.K., so I am kinda sloooowwww), and never had any problems. > It appears to work OK on the '020 system.

I never noticed any significant difference when running on the 1000, versus the 2500, other than having to turn the volume up on the stereo to compensate for the fan/hard disk noises :-(. > The only weirdness I have discovered is that a saved game disk, that was > formatted and written to on '020 mode, CANNOT be read (by Dungeon Master) > when booted in 68000 mode! I havn't tried the opposite scenerio yet. Never had this problem either. After changing from the 1000 to the 2500, I was able to read my previous save disks fine, and was also able to read those created by the 2500 on my brother's 2000. > I have just gotten through the first level, and want to see which mode > I should be running in before I commit myself to further levels. 68020 mode worked fine, even after I (finally!) got NIB and made a backup. Didn't care for the cycling blue boot screen, though. > Dave > "What is another word > for 'Thesaurus'?" > > Steven Wright Lessee... Uhhh... Dictionary?... nope... Uhhh... Wait! I know what to do! I'll look it up in that book where you find words that mean the same thing! Yeah, that's it!
