Emulators on an Amiga.

Does Magic64 require a keyfile? and if so does anyone have one? and is 1.81 the last version?

[TiredOfLife]

No it doesn't.
1.81 sounds about right.
Did you download from Aminet?
That's the one I started testing last night.

I've downloaded Magic64 1.81 from aminet and it crashes on 3.9. when i try to use it OS4.0 it works to a degree (I get the loading screen for Wizball then it freezes). However it is also time limited to 10 mins as it's the shareware version.

Have you tried the Amiga version of VICE? http://www.viceteam.org/amigaos.html

There are versions available for OS3, OS4, MorphOS, AROS, WarpOS and WarpUp so some you should be able to get some good speed with one of those.

Sorry about the key thing.
I think I had an older version at one point that didn't need it.
The newest does.

You need to use the right graphic settings, I had the same problem.

Select voodoo 640x480 8bit and rtg.
You should be laughing.

@Harrison
You're not reading the previous posts again are you? We've done the VICE thing and now we're seeing which is the fastest.

@TiredOfLife
Can't even get to any sort of screenmode select on 3.9. Tried Snoopdosing the problem and as soon as it calls for the keyfile it goes tits up. Not so sure as to why the OS4 is crashing though.

Just tried VICE on my PC and Wizball is better on the C64. From the fake guitar riff and all the 8 bit sound effects to the graphics and the sensitivity of the joystick. It's just one of those games where improved graphics and sound just didn't improve the game. Still one of Sensible Softwares finest games though.


Also just realised that i've been using an older version of VICE on OS4 so i'll try the latest version and see how that goes.
