Yes, Most of the greatest ST games do not work with TOS 1.4: Populous, dungeon master, Falcon, Rick Dangerous... At least there are some good news: It is only the PROTECTION on populous which crashes, my original do not work, but my cracked copy I have for everyday use works perfectly (I try never to use originals, as a power cut will fry the disk inside a ST drive...) bad news: even the cracked versions of falcon and DM do not work.

I don't know about Rick Dangerous, but I've been playing Dungeon Master and Falcon with no problems on my system with the 1.4 ROMs installed. I also play off copies, not the originals, but these disks haven't been cracked. The big reason for copying these was that the original disks couldn't be read on my machine. (Funky drive speeds.) I've also been playing Operation Counterstrike (the Falcon Mission disk) without any problems. -- -=- PrayerMail: Send 100Mbits to holyghost@father.son[127.0.0.1] and You Too can have a Personal Electronic Relationship with God!

I have all of these games AND TOS 1.4 and NO PROBLEMS! All of these games run just fine on my TOS 1.4 equipped system. I suspect you have other problems not related to TOS 1.4... -- Diane Barlow Close {nosc, ucsd}!crash!canada canada@crash.cts.com Free Canada -- Trade Mulroney

Funny, I have Populous, Dungeon Master, and Falcon originals -- and they all work with 1.4 in my 1040STf. BAAL, on the other hand, takes multiple attemps before it loads, and ST WARS simply bombs out while loading. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | DISCLAIMER: If you have a problem with my statements, see my disclaimer. | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have TOS 1.4 in my 1040 ST and all of the above games aside from Rick Dangerous (I don't own that one) work just fine. Perhaps your drive is the problem. Steve

Now it takes about 20 accesses on disk two, numerous disk swaps ( to send the heads various places ?? ) before it'll finish the boot. Quite frustrating. Any thoughts on installing both versions at once, hardware switch selectable? George Reimer
