[comp.sys.amiga.games] 68030 & BEAST

djh@dragon.metaphor.com (Dallas J. Hodgson) (05/30/90)

To those with advanced processors, 68010 and up...

Has anybody solved the problem with Shadow of the Beast? The game boots OK,
gets past all the copy protection, and even lets you move the character
a few steps before it locks up.

On another note, I never could get the Beast cheat to work on my A-1000
w/2MB RAM. I disassembled the cheat which block-moves a large chunk of code
from memory into the Beast area and then jumps to a fixed address within
Beast. Perhaps my version is a later revision, no longer compatable with
the cheat.

Bloody game designers - Psygnosis' first game for the Amiga, "Brataccas"
wouldn't work on a 68010 either - 4 (5?) years ago! Needless to say it won't
run on my A-3000 - which DOESN'T HAVE a 68000 "vanilla" mode.
