Games using regular
filesys, fully relocatible - working in any RAM area, without copy protection. So, easy hard disk installable May contain so called 'manual protection' . With relative file paths, so may work from any DIR. Cat abbrev. : MXTPL - M multipart, X is RAM requirement, not relevant here - usually 5 (512K) or 1 (1M) T - TOS dependant, P - TPA (relocatible), L - using filesys .

Games using regular filesys, fully relocatible - working in any RAM area, with copy protection. Cracks should be easy hard disk installable. Often file access is set for floppy A - so may need some path corrections in code too. Or using Floppy Image Runner. Or using some resident code which removes absolute path ( A:\ ) .

In fact, it is irrelevant how load goes before start. To achieve work from hard disk is enough to take RAM content in moment of start - then need just to restore it after loading from hard disk when want to play. Best is to do it using some packing with fast depacker. I call them singleparted. Many games perform multiple file loads before start, but can easy singlepart them. Protection irrelevant too. But during run, some may perform TOS calls - then may need proper RAM allocation. It means that by some on the list below we need older TOS. Work under higher TOS versions is solveable with Image Runner or GOS 4. Example: Skychase. Some may load/write highscores on floppy - what is not much useful when have gamex. Best to disable it.

Games using regular filesys, but limited to low RAM. Work with hard disks requires some measures to keep low RAM usage small, as: run from AUTO, using HOLE , Floppy Image Runner, GOS 4, hard disk driver in high RAM and similar ... Problems arrive mostly on Falcon and on ST(E)s with TOS 2.06 - they use more low RAM than older TOS versions. May be with or without copy protection.

Games using direct floppy controller access, and loading from floppy during gameplay. Only way to achieve work from hard disks is modding of game code. Note: direct FDC access is just one of reasons why they work not from hard disks. Other is RAM conflict : game's code/data and TOS workspace are both tied to low RAM. Different techniques are used to override it: using RAMdisk for storing floppy images during play, swapping RAM content (may be slow by many short disk access), and the best : having everything needed for hard disk access in high RAM - so GEMDOS filesystem (FAT16) driver & hard disk driver . If it can work MFP and interrupt independant, we will have nice and fast hard disk access, without flashing, interrupted sound.

As is visible, most of games using GEMDOS - regular filesystem for floppy access. Some 2/3 . Other, TOS version related problems: Timer-C related, or some dirty programming, which fail on later TOS versions. Examples: Space Harrier, FOTI, Predator, Skychase .... - this games fail on TOS 2.06, 4.xx without modifications, workaround. Falcon compatibility: it may be TOS version caused, but in many of cases the problem is differnt CPU used. Concrete, different stack frame is usual reason. Not easy to fix in lack of emulator with good tracing. |
