I got the Lemmings Demo working, but I have a question: I boot up with the Lemmings Demo disk in df0:, but quite often the demo freezes up before I get to the main menu screen. This happens especially when I am trying to 'warm boot' into Lemmings. I find that I have the most luck getting it to run if I 'cold boot'--this doesn't always work. Also, after I played for a while, one of the levels loaded in had trashed graphics. I returned to the menu and reloaded that level and all was well. My conclusion: this demo has some ULTRA-SENSITIVE disk loading routines. My question: am I right, and is the release version as sensitive? It's a really cute game; I just wish I could get it to load more often. (BTW: my system is A2000, 1 meg (512k is CHIP), 2 internal Commodore floppies, Kickstart ROM 1.3) | Baird McIntosh | c503719@umcvmb.missouri.edu <-or-> c503719@umcvmb.bitnet | | "K I L L T H E R A T !" -- seen on a sign at a pro-Gulf_War rally | | |

Hi, well I found the arp.library, thanx much to all who responded to my plea. For those who wrote asking if I had found the library yes I have it is at the following location, I found it in the first one, the rest were places I was told it is at, but I do not know. By the way, Lemmings IS a good game, now that I've gotten to play it.

So try DiskSalve the disk and run on a copy... Also: this disk may have the "ntsc" program in its startup-sequence to have full scale display on PAL amigas. I do not knoe if it is your problem, but if it is there, try to comment it in the startup-sequnce -- Colas Nahaboo, colas@sa.inria.fr, Bull Research, Koala Project, GWM X11 WM Phone:(33) 93.65.77.70(.66 Fax), INRIA, B.P.109 - 06561 Valbonne Cedex, FRANCE.

Also if he trys to run DiskSalv, he'll just kill program because DiskSalv looks for standard AmigaDOS disks, not the custom Psygnosis disks.
