Hi Geldo,

Great game indeed, congratulations! Our Amiga Vault Team is specialized in the creation/conversion of Amiga games and programs in standard WHDLoad format with specific slave, custom splash screen, hybrid icon (OldIcon+NewIcon+ColorIcon) compatible with all AmigaOS, and readme file.

As we have done with some Amiga games released in recent months (Ami-H.E.R.O, Ami Robbo 2, Frank Brush, Ghosts 'n Goblins AGA, Hop To The Top, International Kopycat Plus, Kondi Krush, Metro Siege, Neon World, Soko-Ban, Spheroid and Yoomp!) and as we will do for some games currently in development as soon as they are ready (Krogharr, Soltys and Street Fighter), we would like to convert your game into WHDLoad format and share it with you so that, if you wish, you can include it as an additional version for the benefit of the Amiga community.

Unfortunately, when trying to install the game on HD and convert it, we found that during startup it gets stuck on the disk 2 request and does not go forward even though all the files inside the ADF are present in the folder, so we were wondering: could you create a version that can be installed on HD so as to make our task easier and create a standard WHDLoad version? If so, it would be fantastic, and I think that many Amiga users would appreciate both a version that can be installed on HD and a version ready to go in WHDLoad: what do you think about it? It would be an honor and a pleasure for us to collaborate with you! :)

Best Regards

Hi, thanks for your interest. You are not the first to ask for a hd installable version. So, now i started to figure out how to do it. I'll keep you informed.

Perfect, thank you so much for your availability! We don't know if this can help, but the previous versions of the game on a single adf worked perfectly by copying the content on hd.

Once the HD installable version will be ready, for the whdload version we will provide of making it and sharing it with you, so that if you want you can include it among the itch.io downloads😉

Thanks again and good job😊

The single disk version just had everything in the exe which was loaded to memory on startup. Since i wanted to be able to load different songs and background gfx, i had to put them on a second disk. The program then loads data to memory when needed. But the file loader is limited to floppy disks. So that has to be modified somehow.

Thanks for explanation, all clear, hoping you sort it out soon (but no rush mate😉)

Hi, if you like,feel free to create these versions. Wether they are needed depends on the Amiga gamers out there and wether they like my game 🙂

Actually, we would have done it anyway, because our team's goal is to provide our contribution to all Amiga developers and a service to the entire Amiga community, regardless of the wuality of a given game and the feedback it may or may not receive.

Given this, in this case we believe however - in fact we are sure of it -that your game is already receiving excellent feedback, even piquing the interest of the official WHDLoad team, and will surely be appreciated by all users because it truly deserves it! 💪🏻

At this point, we'll get to work immediately, and as soon as we're ready, we'll share the images here and the files with you ☺️

Best regards
