game should be configured, or to add relevant information regarding
the use of these configurations.
Change is in the database now (Note: The stable version does not "support" kick33180.A500, which is a relatively rare required kickstart. Support for this was added in the current development series).
@nietzsche666 hi, yes only frode can approve changes to the database.
as for the problems to play the game, just open the link to the whdload page from within the launcher to see the keys or just use this direct link:

Hey, thanks a lot again for taking the time!
Ok, I updated the database with fs uae, both stable & dev.
It still doesn't work with latest stable version. It still asks for a kickstart as before, NTSC checked or not.
But in the 2.9.6.dev I am able to get into the game by checking NTSC flag myself. It stil doesn't work "out of the box", though, even after updating game database several times. Still same error message without the manual NTSC checking.
But having checked NTSC myself, I finally get into the game. He asks for "insert coin" at the start. And after clicking all possible buttons I seem to be able to sluggishly move one ship with mouse directions, but not fire. I'll have to look for a manual at some time how to really play the game.
The screen is very widescreen, didn't encounter that screen mode before in FS UAE, perhaps "too widescreen", something wrong? Maybe the database NTSC check messed with it?
EDIT: I just noticed you just "requested" the NTSC check. So I assume it will take some time till the database update will work here at my home, right?
the variant was missing the NTSC flag. to make it work out of the box via the launcher. fixed that now.
i tried to play the game for a bit and didnt notice any further problems.

Doesn't load, error message that it wants a "kick33180.A500" in "devs" folder.
EDIT: Oddly, the game crashes in a different way in 2.9.6.dev FS UAE version. There, the blue WHDload initiation screen does appear, but crashes with "Error in Display Initialisation" (+ 3 possible reasons).
NTSC box is checked "out of the box" now, great!
Thanks guys!
