I couldn't even install it as the installtion breaks with a GrimReaper during unpacking some installation files.

I wonder if there's a way to install Shogo on AOS4.1 and SAM. You need anyway Warposemu to install and play it. So, has someone successfully installed/played the game on AOS4.1 (and SAM)?

Thanks,
nexus

There is a new version of WarpOSEmu

http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=library/misc/warposemu.lha

I don't know if this will come in handy.

Yes, I know. Without this version you can't use warpos apps at all with SAM.
My problem with shogo begins with the installaion (where warposemu is used to unpack some data).

This is a launch command line script for the Shogo demo, to run it in software mode, I haven't tried it so I don't know if it works:

stack 1000000
client -rez work:Games/Shogodemo -rez work:Games/Shogodemo/custom -audiodevice "AHI:F:2048/O:22050" +renderdll soft.ren +ScreenWidth 640 +ScreenHeight 480

can something like this be used with the full game? Do you know how to install the game with AOS4.1?

Thanks,

Yes Shogo works, start it from command line whit out GUI.

The GUI is based on wizard.library and will freeze when you try to open it.

There is an OS4 fixed version of that library floating around. I tried the Shogo demo following the notes and it works on OS4.0.

@NutsAboutAmiga & AmiKit & others

ok, these are good news!

But how do I INSTALL the game?

Thanks

*bump*

The GR I get during installation is:

Crashed Task: ShogoMad:C/hUnpack
Kind of crash: ISI (Instruction Storage Interrupt)
...
Modul: hUnpack


So, what can I do?

Install the game in EUAE and the copy then copy files over AmigaOS 4.x

@NutsAboutAmiga

in euae? I doubt that this will work. The "unpack"-routine seems to be coded in warpos. EUAE only emulates 68k, right? Without warpos-emu on AOS4.1 the installer simply skips the unpacking of the game-files and of course, shogo doesn't work in the end.

The hUnpack unarchiver seems to not work under OS4. One solution could be to try to put in the Shogo installer directory this version instead of the original unpacker: http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=utility/archive/hunpack.lha ... I don't know if it handles the same type of archives, though. Another solution might be to add the archiver to the Petunia blacklist (under Prefs/Compatibility) so that the JIT doesn't run it.

Don’t remember, maybe it was stack size being to low, any way I only installed DEMO version, maybe Hyperion can be so nice and compile a bug fixed GUI and Unpacker.

hunpack from aminet/os4depot doesn't do the job as it only uncompress the hpa-archives but doesn't extract the files from the archive. hpa seems to be something like a gziped-tar archive (tgz). And hunpack from os4depot does only the "unzip"-like part of such an archive. With the shogo files hunpack even crashes.

Nevertheless, I found how to do it (more or less). OS4.1's Unarc manages to uncompress the hpa-files and after that you can use the warpos-version hUnpack from the shogo-CD. It works for me sometimes, means, i had to reboot probably 100-times but in the end i had everything extracted from the files.

The last strange thing that remains is, that the file "sound.hpa" has a checksum-error (even on the the CD). Extracting the files from sound.hpa works thus only for 99%. The remaining files cannot be created and only file-names with "?" and other symbols are created. Means, the sound.hpa-file was already broken as the CD was pressed?
Hm. Have not yet tried if shogo works even with broken sound files. Although, On AOS3.9 i managed to finish the game (so, i guess, it can be found a setting which doesn't try to load these files? On AOS3.9 shogo also chrashed here and there.).

greetings,

hm. no luck so far. Shogo doesn't work with Sam440ep & AOS4.1.

With the commandline arguments, I manage to start into the shogo menu but after a short while or after i select a "single player"-game, I get a visit of the GrimReaper.

I wonder if someone with A1 managed to run the full game ShogoMad.

greetings,
nexus
