Help with Amiga ROM "Talking Animator"

Postby Manix » Mon Nov 21, 2011 3:58 am

I downloaded the rom "The Talking Animator" http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/getfile.php?file=Li9Db21tb2RvcmUvQW1pZ2EvRWR1Y2F0aW9uYWwvW0FERl0vVGFsa2luZyUyMEFuaW1hdG9yJTJDJTIwVGhlJTIwJTI4MTk4OCUyOSUyOEpNSCUyOSU1QmglMjBCUzElNUQuYWRm

Upon starting it I get a volume read/write error, Just wondering if it's my setup or the rom is bad. Other roms work. This is my favorite tittle as it's literally my first memories of a computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Wrote the image to a disk as I couldnt get it to run under Winuae, booted to the first piccy on a A1200.
No idea what it is, is it what you where expecting, looks wrong to me :?

i got the disk image to work in WINUAE. WINUAE has to be setup for A500 emulation and the disk image had to be loaded before starting the emulation so it would "boot" the program from startup. but i think the image may be incomplete or partly corrupt. here are a couple of screenshots.

Screenshot-[A500_1.3.uae] - WinUAE.png
loading screen 1

i got this error message during loading. pressing "cancel" allows the program to finsh loading

Screenshot-[A500_1.3.uae] - WinUAE -2.png
i got this error when i pressed the talk icon. i'm not sure if this is a problem with the disk image or if it's user error, as this is my first time useing this program so i cann't be sure.


after clicking cancel, the emulated A500 reboots and displays a "Guru Meditation" hardware error. after clicking the left mouse button, the emulator boots normally.

i hope this helps. :luigi:

You're right - looks like this floppy image was made from a corrupted media. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done with it besides finding a new proper dump.
