You got Populous to run on a 3000??? HOW? I've had this game for months, and I can only play it on other people's computers.

Well *I* didnt get it to run. it just worked. However it was the 1st time I ever saw populous and asked my friend "why are the little men _running_ around?" and he said "thats the point. on a 500 they walk around, slowly..." Apprantly it was really fast on a 3000, it may not be very playable as a result. I suppose I can ask him what he did <he just popped in the disk and it ran...> >--SeebS-- >-- >Peter Seebach - The Laughing Prophet | | Anonymous Posting Here! >I don't speak for St. Olaf, St. Olaf | | seebs@acc.stolaf.edu >doesn't speak for me, and Marcel Marceau | |"Forgive them Father, for they >speaks for no one. | | do not get the joke..."

Powermonger seems only to run on the A3000 boot ROM (V36.16) Stefan -- Mail : Stefan Becker, Holsteinstrasse 9, D-5100 Aachen /// Only Phone : +49-241-505705 FIDO: 2:242/7.6 Germany /// Amiga makes Domain: stefanb@informatik.rwth-aachen.de \\\/// it possible..

Use Project D to de-protect the disk, then copy the disk to a directory on your harddisk (let's say "Pop"). Then write a script like this (let's call it "Populous"): cd DH0:Pop Assign sys: DH0:Pop ; (I can't remember if this is necessary or not) run NoFastMem ;kill fast ram so game runs near normal speed. CPU nocache ; disables instruction cache to further slow down machine. Populous ; the name of the Populous executable This works for me... -- Fred Hamilton "Unlike most of you, Harris Semiconductor I am not a nut..." Santa Clara, CA -Homer Simpson
