Randy Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yep, playing one of my favorite games and am getting ready to go to level 4 when I noticed my two front characters/fighter have grayed out hands/weapons on the attack part of the screen, WTF? This just showed up after having played it on my Gotek on my 4160 STe, previously been playing on a 1040STe, wonder if this relates to some incompatibility with the Gotek or the game itself on the STe, any ideas?

bluemonday Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I did read that the developers built in some anti-piracy measures which made very subtle adjustments to the game which would hinder or halt your progress. They could easily be mistaken for a bug for people cracking the software. Perhaps this is part of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks, blue, I think this is some kind of incompatibility with the 2.06 roms that are in my STe, maybe issues with memory, etc. I have tried the Lord cracked version, runs but now system 41 error on all saves (floppy), the original (doesn't even boot!) and my Gotek version that I have been playing, same with saving, System 31 error. May have to try a different version or floppy drive in this machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Randy, can you give here ST image (ZIPped) of that Dungeon Master release, what you playing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter, let me see if I can find a copy of the zipped file, I think it was on planetemu that I got it but not sure. I have several versions, one that came with the ST was on disk and was cracked by "Lord" and I believe that same version is what is on my Gotek, which ran fine on an ST, but now is not running fine on my 4160STe w/TOS 2.06 UK. I also have the original game, but that does not even load on the STe. The Gotek version ran fine on the ST, but now on the STe I get "grayed weapons" on my front two characters. The cracked disk version runs fine but gives me a "System 41 error" when I try to save, which i have tried on numerous floppies, all DSDD and one brand new. BTW, I looked at the DMA version on your webpage and downloaded it and noticed the files on it including the TOS file "RUNADMA.TOS", does this file run from a floppy, as well as a hard drive, like a .prg file would?

ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 There are floppy versions on this page: http://atari.8bitchip.info/ASTGA/D/dungmast.php Btw. extension TOS is normal with floppy SW too. That's used for SW what does not use GEM/AES, so windows, menus - like those in Desktop. Benefit is that with extension TOS will be more free RAM for SW (OS takes less) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hi Peter, thanks for that, I did download that file and just need to get it on a floppy to try, or better, a hard drive device of some kind (CF, US, etc.) I did download a different copy from planetemu of version V1.1, a different crack of the game, and it so far is running fine from the Gotek, although it will on occasion ask for the game disk. Not a big problem as the game disk is the Gotek! Looking forward to using your version, it sounds like it should be the definitive version! Thanks!

Randy Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 BTW, just picked up a haul that included a lot of cover disks and original DM and CSB, DM is v 1.2 and it runs fine right in the 4160 STe w/2.06 directly from the disk. From the date 1988 on the disk, it should be the latest version? Does say "for 520/1040 ST", no mention of STe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Yes, 1.2 is latest English v. STE appeared in 1989. I guess that some cracks worked not on STE and/or TOS 2.06 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
