Sim City 2000 Amiga

now i was a bit confused aout the @me. then i found out its a response to an almost 2 years old comment lol.

yes i checked sim city 2k now. the unmodified version works well. the modified one pops up an error message about a not found file. but anyway the unmodified one runs and im fine with it.

Alternative (minimal) HD configuration based on information from jbl007 http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=1034482&postcount=13 (but requires 2.3.34dev+):

hd_requirements = C/Assign; C/SetPatch; Libs/asl.library; Libs/diskfont.library; Libs/iffparse.library; Libs/locale.library
hd_startup = SetPatch; Assign env: ram:; cd SimCity2000; SimCity2000

@thevoice I have created a variant without the install log file! I have also made a modified variant with the resolution pre-selected (to avoid a common guru). See http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=72897 for more information about that.

See the FAQ entries for installation instructions (how to replicate the install).

FAQ: You need to have a Workbench 3.0 disk scanned by the file scanner to run this game.

FAQ: Special Installation instructions. To create a HD-installed version from original disks, just do a clean installation. But before archiving the files, start the game once. When the resolution requester appears, click on 640x512 (even though it already is pre-selected), and then click on OK. Then you can quit the game/emulator and archive the game files.

did a quick compare between a clean install from inside fs-uae and the preinstalled one from eab. the only difference is a file install_log and a .info with the same name. i installed both versions again inside fs-uae and those 2 files werent created at all and are also kinda not needed but are checked by the launcher. so this might fix one problem.

and also same question here was this install made inside winuae or inside fs-uae

Same Source EAB FTP.

btw: the hd installed version doesn't work yet. Probably missing some libs in the FS-UAE harddrives WB setup. At the start there should pop up a requester for the screen resolution.

is there any way to create the hdinstalled version out of the box ? i used the images from sps 0890 and 0575 to make the install. and also here the launcher refuses to detect the result.

@FrodeSolheim Hi & nice to meet you. Thank you for clarification. Shame on me, i didnt remember installing on a harddrive was a requirement.... lol b.t.w. it is a nice feature that u are implementing here. i will test that and edit my comment here if i´m done.

Edit: Was there, done that. Installed to dh0 and the Game is running. Thank you @FrodeSolheim Now, here comes another problem, because of the "pre-defined" dh0 i found no way to set the language or resolution. FS-UAE (at least to my knowledge) doesnt let you insert disk that are not "insertet" into the drives/disc-changer (dont know if it is the right name, using the german translation) when you start the game. but this is a user/config-problem. Your function for the HD works.

@profo hi This game only works after installing to HD, and this feature is a bit immature in FS-UAE Launcher. You (currently) need to manually create a folder Documents/FS-UAE/Hard Drives/Minimal Workbench v3.1 - This folder can for example contain the contents of a WB 3.1 disk. It will then be used as a boot HD for this game. The error message simply complains that this folder does not exist. There's no way you could've known this, of course. I have some plans for how this can be improved Some more info here http://oagd.net/2013/02/08/new-fs-uae-launcher-release.

Hi. This config wants to load the hard-drive "DH0 (hd://template/workbench)", wich doesnt exist. This leads to an Errormessage "........... did not find preconfigured hard drive u'minimal Workbench v3.1'" in FS-UAE
