thegamezmaster Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I am getting this given to me and am curious if this can be converted or whatever to play on another type of computer like an Amiga? Sorry if this sounds dumb but don't know a lot about this or what kind of IBM compatible it will run on. I do have an old Packard/Bell with a pentium cpu. Thanks for any help!

mbd30 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I am getting this given to me and am curious if this can be converted or whatever to play on another type of computer like an Amiga? Sorry if this sounds dumb but don't know a lot about this or what kind of IBM compatible it will run on. I do have an old Packard/Bell with a pentium cpu. Thanks for any help! The game was programmed for the IBM XT. It would run way too fast or not at all on a more modern pentium CPU. Maybe with additional software such as a slowdown utility or emulator, it's possible. Are there decent PC/DOS emulators for the Amiga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamezmaster Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Does anyone know where to get these adapters for the Amiga 500 or 600? I can't find anything. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 there is emulation software to run pcxt games on a amiga. It can work with a a500 1mb, but will be very slow. A a1200 would be better. Here are some hardware options http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Commodore-AMIGA-2000-3-Floppy-Tastatur-Data-Switch-PC-Emulator-Karte-A-2000-/110841365096?pt=Klassische_Computer&hash=item19cea90268#ht_6118wt_953 http://www.ebay.nl/itm/PC-XT-Emulator-Turbo-Rev-3-1-A2088-Commodore-Amiga-2000-/220965877374?pt=Klassische_Computer&hash=item337297b67e#ht_6385wt_953 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamezmaster Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Tried to load game, got as far as starting to load the first scene and stopped. Checked the drive and it loaded another program so I think that's working. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Turns out the disk was bad. Plus the game was Konami Castlevania, Grrrrrrrrrrr! Thank you to all that tried to help, I really appreciate it! Edited April 2, 2012 by thegamezmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
