2 modes needed:

320x240x8 (RADEON) (MAKE SURE!!! YOU HAVE CREATED THIS MODE WITH P96MODE OR MODE IF YOU USE THAT!)

640x480x8 (RADEON)



Game Screen Highres

set the CDDA info (i guess u have allready)

CGFX DIRECT (SET TO YES ..ie tick it on)


Press ignore errors on the grim reaper (this is a dos action which has changed , i am currently looking further at it and well ...the game works fine...completed it in both modes before os4 pre4 was released .)

Is it the demo version or? ..no idea about that if so... the full cd version works as desribed above.



to orginal thread creator: you should mention that it works with JIT , it doesnt work without JIT (so stating ..works with pre4 is abit...well wrong since u can disable jit in os4 / PRE4 )

I followed your directions above but I too get stuck with the opening screen, music playing but no ther activity. I have the patch applied and screenmodes set. I don't get a GR. However I have noticed that whenever I do get a GM with other problems I no longer have the continue option available. I only get "more", "kill" or "attach".

I did a fresh install. XE 933 1gb ram, Radeon 9200SE.

Cheers

@acefnq

Try pressing 'more' and look at the new window... =)

@AndreasM

no, there is 1 grim reaper left still (dos actions oriented) but if you ignore this error (with grim reaper) the game plays fine (completeable in both sides without any side effects)...

I told you this allready so don't sound so shocked .

My intentions was to get the last one out of the way too but time was a prob , lets see about that later on (might need to create a small patch).

So , for now it is working 99% fine , removing the last grimreaper and it should be 100%

The Grim reaper menu has been changed in pre4 , several of the buttons has been moved into the "MORE" button , so to see ignore error etc press MORE .. pressing KILL will ofcourse just end the task and the game will stand still on the menu.

best of luck , tell me how it went.

I have my CD connected to a sii-Controller. It always says, can't find cdda.

I have chosen sii0680ide.device, Unit is correct.

@Toaks

I have bad luck .. there is no way to get further .. i get stuck in the main screen with the music playing on the background but i have no option to select or either..

I have no GR .. the game start with no problem but after the main or presentation screen i can't go..

My version is the full version of the game.. i have installed the patch.. but it doesn't work

@nubechecorre

@everyone

Which RTG PATCH are you guys using?

File SIZE please..

Gui Version please?

i tried to install it from scratch now due to all problems and heh the installer is ####ed up (the patch)..



-- been a while since i tried this so right now i am unsure how it was but this is what i tried:

extracted exodus patch to ram:

inserted Exodus cd , ran the installer (from the rtg patch archive)

it installed a few files (only) ....

the converter tool never started ..

ran the converter tool manually from ram and set the path to where i had installed the game from the patch allready ... it converted 177 files.. no errors ..

ran the setup gui , set everything up

ran exoduse ..and it didnt work (installer made something bogus)

noticed the binary is the wrong size..so the rtgpatch i found on the web is infact old and not the one i installed earlier...

Binary size should be:

Exodus 182160 --


the ones from the rtgpatch i have atleast (archive dated back from 2001...

says:

ExodusGFX_040 180428 ----rwed 25-Apr-01 18:47:24
ExodusGFX_030 180440 ----rwed 25-Apr-01 18:43:36



UPDATE:

if anyone has access to the correct rtg patch (amigafuture website is down) then send it over to me.

As for the exodus picture standing still and music playing, i can reproduce this problem easy by not installing the patch at all........

ACEFQN and Nube ... lets hook up on irc and solve this, to see whats going on (seeing as MUFA (and a bunch of others on irc) made the game work without any hassle..well we need to find out exactly what is going wrong there and irc is the best way.

bye
