Glad I could help

Yes.

Hey, it works!! Thanks a lot, got it! Now I have to get used to all the amiga-specifics again after some pure PCDOS-years...

BTW: You use UAE under Linux?

Here's the configuration I used. Please do not, I repeat: not just copy this file to your hd and try loading your emulator with it - it's meant for another version of UAE.

From what I can see immediately, you're first booting the Workbench to run the game. that's not necessary, just insert the Shadowgate disk into DF0:. Also, even though it shouldn't influence this, try removing all file systems (hds) from the configuration. I guess you get my drift by now - get rid off everything in the configuration you don't need, and if it's working then, you can add things one by one again to weed out the offending option.

And here is the config:

Thanks a lot, i brought me further. I now was able to start the game. The different windows open, I see the menu in the right top corner. But neither is there a text in the lower window, nor is there the picture. It was to my remember a position outside the castle.

I post my config, and would be very grateful if you have yours avail, with which you were able to play.

N.B. Deja vu, a game of the same company and the same age, works.

Greetings,

Thomas

Working with UAE, using Kickstart 1.3. Make sure you use "slow but compatible" CPU flag. Apart from that, standard A500 settings should be fine. If you still have problems, please save your emulator configuration to a file and post it here.

I downloaded the game shadowgate since my original doesn't play any more. But the same happens with the emulation. Does anybody get the game to work? And if, how are the settings? Which is the best emulator?
I forgot to mention, that the Guru is always the same: #0000000A:
"Opcode 1010 Emulation Instruction word with a value between A000-AFFF."

Pity, this doesn't say anything to me.

Greetings,

Thomas Mildenberger
