FAQ: The Parental Code for the French version is : WFUSDFCF

@tomse: i moved 2 screenshots to get the character creaton screen from spot #1. and as a tip, try to park the mouse pointer on a single color spot of the screen and remove it there before uploading the screenshot

@DMK amiga model changed to a1200 for version 2.1.

Requested change to WHDload 2.1 variant to 'Amiga_Model - A1200'. A600 was just too slow for me.

all screenshots taken by @jyanncorp. i just changed the order.

all screenshots taken by @jyanncorp. i just moved them around and did some cropping.

all screenshots taken by @jyanncorp. i just moved them around a bit.

all screenshots taken by @jyanncorp. i just cropped them to make them compatible with the openretro.org guidelines.

All screenshots taken by Enzo. i just cropped them properly. so they match openretro.org screenshot guidelines.

@iznogoud i assume the manual protection info comes from the whdload slave author as he mentions "manual protection" removed. so your info seem to be be correct. i will change the manual protection tag.

I don't think that the IPF variant (2014) has a "Manual"-based copy protection. I haven't encountered any security question while playing the game and according to the instruction sheet, it seems that Disk 1 is used instead as a "Key Disk" to validate the authenticity of the copy: https://www.mocagh.org/nwc/nukewar-refcard.pdf

changed all floppy variants to only use chip memory as with enabled "slow" mem the actor is invisible.

@correct, it is not the amiga model but the existence of "slow" memory. i changed the entries to just use chipmem. after the changes go live the problem should be solved. thanks for finding the issue.

@iznogoud that is a known problem for several titles which require a proper labeled save disk. i remember frode palnned a solution for that a while ago. but i let him give the answer how far this implementation is done. for the time being the only "solution" is to use the whdload version.

The disk for the saves that the game is asking for, needs to be labelled "GAMESAVE". More info here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=47274

The IPF versions (0912, 0913) have a weird issue: the sprite of the "little person" is not visible. Starting the game with the A500+ configuration solves this. More info on this thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=45445

PROBLEM: for some reason the driver is not shown, just the bike. tested with mednafem 1.22.2.

@qupe75 the mentioned quote refers to the 2006 released version 1.1. with a600 model ticking disable blitter waits would fix these "glitches". anyway i changed the amiga model to a1200 which makes ticking blitter waits obsolete. so after frode triggers the update process model should be a1200.

I used the A500 with 512k slow ram with the (1988)(Turtle Byte)[cr Ackerlight][t +2 Ackerlight] and no extra ram settings and the game works fine.

I found the gamebase version was running too fast using the A1000 settings for some reason

as mentioned previously the whdload version 1.2, 1944 has graphical glitches pretty much rendering the game unplayable.

@alfman also here i cant see a launcher problem. best bet would be to file a bug at whdload bugtracker as this slave is also 9 years old. http://mantis.whdload.de/my_view_page.php

@alfman not a fs-uae problem i guess. but the slave is dated from 1999. maybe a good idea to file a bug at the whdload bugtracker: http://mantis.whdload.de/my_view_page.php

@qupe75 i played the game for quite a bit now. and to be honest i cant see any difference beween a600 and a1200 model on my gsync setup here.

@qupe75 you are totally right. i must have c&p the wrong parent id. i requested a move to the correct entry. thanks for finding this mistake .

Think Prehistorik's WHD's are incorrectly showing in A Prehistoric Tale set up. Showing whd 2.0, 0557 and CDTV which are both Prehistoik's

I thought this was an AGA Game? The game works a bit smoother with the A1200 settings. I used A1200, 2mb and 8mb.

@qupe75 Both disks should be included, you need to swap disk when the game requests you to (F12 menu).

PROBLEM: the game freezes if you attempt to leave chapter 1. i guess this is a memory card problem. tested with mednafen 1.22.2

PROBLEM: both european variants fail to load mission 5. tested with mednafen 1.22.2

@qupe75 yes, the game supports only df0: for loading.

Please note the configuration of this game only has the first disk included.

@karaokeking this game suppoerts only 1 disk drive for loading.

@FrodeSolheim There is a WHDLoad variant : AigleDOr_v1.1_Fr_2600.lha

@thevoice Ok, I will do next in that way!

@jyanncorp hi, looks like you got a bit familiar with screenshooting now . i just have a little "advise" since there is something like a "rule" about the order of screenshots. the first 2 screenshots after the title ideally shows images from actually playing the game. and the screens 3-5 can show coll cutscenes or loading pictures and such (or even more ingame content). decisision is entirely up to you since you contribute the screenshots. just make sure the first 2 of them show actually ingame content.

@jyanncorp Good use case for A1200 then

@jyanncorp The A1200 emulation is less accurate than the A1000/A500/A500+/A600 emulation, and emulate the A1200 is also much more demanding on the host computer.

So please don't change to A1200 unless the game actually runs better on emulated A1200

Run smoother and faster on A1200, no slideshow effect on animations.

@FrodeSolheim Sightly faster, but that's right , the parentheses of copyright logo are shift on the title screen, I don't pay attention the first time when i try in A1200. The rest of the game work fine without texts glitches, but maybe later in game.. That's really strange by the way.. Keep in A600 !

@jyanncorp Hi, ref the comment from TCD. He switched to A600 due to issues with A1200. Have you tested that it works better with A1200 than A600?

@thevoice Thanks you for title screen method ! For the WHDload, I don't know if I can give link here, but.. https://mega.nz/#F!gdozjZxL?1dJQAC6b

@jyanncorp hi, i have redone your first screenshot. you "parked" the mouse cursor in the top left corner. this made a black area on the top. so on such titles try to move the mouse outside the visible area and then do the screen shot . if this doesnt work then just "park" the pointer in a single color area and remove it from there after doing screens.

@jyanncorp there is no whdload variant in the orphanage. so maybe frode overlooked it when importing ?

@ jyanncorp i agree. i request a change to a1200 model.

Work a much better with A1200 model en WHDLoad.

There is a WHDLoad variant for this game !

Added viewport setting to make the game display more stable when using auto zoom.

@Enzo support for xpkmaster.library added, will be included in the next launcher release.

this title badly requires a4000 model. with just a1200 its a pure pain to play it in slideshow mode. a4000 model makes the title run smooth.

requires a model with kick 2.0. otherwise the game hangs in an endless loop when asking for the data disk.

@Agenor if you are talking about whdload titles. you have to have quite current slave versions from retroplay. not these outdated by almost a decade ones from whdownload.

@Agenor you sont't have to worry about the filenames. the database detects the disks by checksum. so you surely have some "random" internet downloaded disk images in your collection. the datbase supports games from TOSEC and Gamebase Amiga for the database. so you have to look for a not outdated by years TOSEC collection.

Hi, so I have this game in my library but it does not show up, I think it has the wrong file name so it is not detected, is there anywhere to check the correct file names?

The actual cover is the budget edition.

@FrodeSolheim Sorry for the upload mess. (^_^

gamebase variant have graphical corruption in the background on stage 8. tosec have no other version to replace this unfortunately.

both variants don't work because of missing libraries which cant even installed. i guess we need a fully prepared hadd here. so i vote for unpublish .

al screenshots were taken by enzo.

i will prepare a merge from hero's quest into quest for glory. once frode have approved it,both will appear under quest for glory.

Yep the problem is if you have the 1.3 WHDload version it matches this entry in the DB so you don't get any metadata or screenshots in the FS-UAE launcher. But if you have an ADF or older WHDload version it matches Hero's Quest.

floppy variant requires an amiga model with kickstart 1.2. otherwise it hangs after the supreme cracktro.

all whdload variants use a1200 model now.

i agree with that. but actually i dont know if frode wants to have amiga titles merged like the console ones. i also would merge hero's quest into quest for glory because ther eis quest for glory ii also.

Should be merged with http://openretro.org/amiga/heros-quest

Hello,

Can you please also change the WHDLoad v2.3 0199 variant to A1200 please ? This is the last Whdload version of this game and doesn't work in A600 configuration.

Thank you.

It does ...

requested a change to a1200 model again. maybe 8 months later it works xD

@FrodeSolheim Believe or not but there are stars on this cover !

@FrodeSolheim I made a color correction on this one.

@FrodeSolheim I've upload the right cover , the actual cover is a ad form a magazine.

the ipf variant shows up a broken title screen when using "slow mem". disabled it for this varaint only as all the others workt fine.

this title is named wonderboy in monsterland on other platforms

@jyanncorp The already existing cover looks like it got more details, so it makes more sense to do some color adjustment on the already existing image that to replace with a lower-quality one

the lucasgames screen is really the title. after pressing start the game begins
