amiga lemmings rom
I have an Amiga emulator and a Lemmings ROM but it doesn't work :(
I have "Menace" too and that one works perfectly.

Could someone help me in getting a working lemmings rom? (PM me if necessairy)

Thanks!

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Amiga Lemmings disks are on my site...

Please explain your problem a bit more completely; for example, how far does the game load? (not at all, until after the intro, etc.)

That's the only place I know that has it.

Re: amiga lemmings rom
I can get it to work untill after the intro.
Then I see a lemming hand that's the cursor but a black screen for the rest.

By the way,the playable version of the rom requires "CAPS",something I can't find anywhere :(

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Hmm... looks like CAPS changed it's name, and I didn't notice... anywho here's the [link=http://www.softpres.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=cache&media=files%3Aipflib_w32.zip]IPF library (Windows)[/link].

Download and extract CAPSImg.dll in WinUAE's directory.

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Really thanks,but:

The caps thingy seems to work now but the rom freezes even earlier than the other rom I tried :(

1)The ADF rom freezes right before the main menu
2)The IPF rom with caps freezes right after the start

I use WinUAE to emulate,and ONML and Menace work almost perfectly.

By the way,is it still possible to have my levelpak available on your site?

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Hmm... I seem to remember having that problem, but it hasn't happend for a long while and I can't remeber how I resolved it... perhaps try a different Kickstart ROM or a different memory configuration.

By the way,is it still possible to have my levelpak available on your site?

Yup.

Re: amiga lemmings rom
I tried what you suggested but it doesn't change a thing :(

Could you say me what configuration you have so I can use the same?

About that levelpak,must I do anything in order to have you posted it on your site?Please PM me about that :)

Nope, I've just got to get off my butt and put it up.  It may be a bit, since I just bought a new HD and I still need to install it...

Edit: I got off my butt and put up the pack.

Re: amiga lemmings rom
What a coincidence! I just tried Lemmings on WinUAE. You have to use the ROM 3.0 to run lemmings. I did it and it worked! :D

On the SNES or Genesis/Megadrive version.

How amusing. You downloaded the Amiga version to play the Sunsoft levels. You went through all that, just to realise the Amiga version actually doesn't have them. :P

Sunsoft level? There's no Sunsoft levels in Amiga!

Sunsoft levels are only on Sega Genesis, Sega Megadrive and some on SNES!

Re: amiga lemmings rom
I just found out :)

But I downloaded Genesis and the lemmings rom and they work too :)

I'm stuck on dozens of levels,are there any lists of passwords for Genesis lemmings?

It surprised me in the reviews of the levels "Just a minute part three" was reviewed as easier than part 1 and 2...I played it and I don't have a clue on how to controll the crowd with a release rate that high...

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Just a Minute part three IS easy. If you can do Taxing 11, you can do Sunsoft 26. Remember that there is a wall in front of them and that you CAN dig through one-way walls. The time limit isn't even as restrictive either.
All I see that that level is, is just a blending of Fun 11 and Taxing 11 (With a bit of Tricky 19 on the side :D)

EDIT: Tricky 19, not 18

Re: amiga lemmings rom
I know I can dig trough one way walls but I have to focus really hard on finding the solution...
Most of the time I come across a level and think it's impossible and just thinking that makes it impossible...untill I see something I overlooked :)

I could beat all the normal lemmings levels (with the exception of race against the cliches) and I intend to beat all the unique levels on Megadrive too :)
I've beaten Fall and No Life already,which is one of the most brilliant levels I've ever seen :)

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Can somebody tell me exactly how to get this working? I keep using WinUAE and it keeps telling me there's no disk in D0 or something when I've just loaded one. I really want to try this. Also, where do you get ahold of the Genesis levels?

Re: amiga lemmings rom
I meant to address this, but I think I only have time until this weekend to answer you question.

I'm probably just going to e-mail you all the necessary files I have on my machine, which should allow you to run Lemmings, ONML and Lemmings 2 on WinUAE.

Re: amiga lemmings rom
Ok, on second thought, maybe it's easier to just talk about it.

First, you need the Kickstart ROM file.  I can e-mail you that if you don't have it, it's hard to find on the Internet.

Next, find the games you want in .adf format, which are basically floppy disk images.  Although that does mean there's this annoying bit of load time to deal with when you play the game, it does make life easier then trying to install games into a simulated hard drive volume.

Now, you need to create a configuration file to specify the appropriate settings.  Most importantly, the configuration file is where you specified which floppy disk images goes into which disk drive, and what ROM to use, etc:

1) Go to "ROM" on the tree view at the left, then under "Boot-ROM Settings" on the right, for "ROM File", point it to where you have the file for the Kickstart ROM

2) Now go to "Disk Drives" on the tree view at the left.  You see that on the right side, you have a choice of up to 4 floppy drives.  Some may be "disabled" meaning that the emulator treats those drives as not being there.

For Lemmings, it should come on two floppies, likely named something like "Lemmings Disk 1 of 2.adf" and "Lemmings Disk 2 of 2.adf".  Set DF0 to 3.5" DD, then point it to the "...Disk 1 of 2.adf" file.  Set DF1 to 3.5"" DD, then point it to the "...Disk 2 of 2.adf" file.  Set DF2 and DF3 to "disabled".

For ONML, it should come on 1 floppy, likely named "On No! More Lemmings.adf".  Set DF0 to 3.5" DD and point it to the .adf file.  Set the other 3 drives as disabled.

For Lemmings 2, it should come on 3 floppies, named "Lemmings2_1.adf", "Lemmings2_2.adf" and "Lemmings2_3.adf".  Set DF0 thru DF2 to 3.5" DD and point each to the corresponding .adf file.  You will also want to create a "blank floppy" .adf file for storing savegames for Lemmings 2.  To do this, go to where it says "New Disk Image".  Set it to 3.5" DD, then click on "Create Standard Floppy".  You will then be prompted for a filename for the resulting .adf file.

Once the .adf file is created, set DF3 to 3.5" DD and leave it blank for now.  What happens is, while running the game, if you try to load the game will prompt you to "insert your save disk in drive 0".  To do that, press F12 to bring up the config screen again, go to "Disk Drives", and then switch DF0 to point to the save disk .adf  you created earlier, and set DF3 to point to Lemmings2_1.adf instead.  You can leave it that way for the rest of the game.  Click OK to get back to the game.

============

Anyway, once you made the settings as explained above, you should save the configuration.  You should create a configuration for each game.  To save the configuration, click "Configuration" at the tree view on the left, then type a name for it under "Name:", and then click "Save".

With a configuration saved for each game, later when you need to run a particular game, you can just load the configuration for that game, instead of having to redo all these settings again.

There are many other settings you can fiddle with on the config window, although I don't remember having to fiddle anything to get the 3 games I had (Lemmings, ONML and Lemmings 2) running.  In worst case I can e-mail you my config files, although you then need to make sure to visit the ROM and Disk Drive section of the configuration and make sure they point to the files in the location you saved them on your machine (which of course may differ from where I choose to save them).

Let me note that if you need savestates, you can deal with them via the configuration window.  Commands for loading and saving savestates can be found if you select "Misc" from the tree view on the left.

Hope this helps, don't hesitate to ask questions if you're stuck.

Re: amiga lemmings rom
It may be a bit difficult in the end. For a start, where do you get the Kickstart ROM and the adf files? ;)
I got ipf (or whatever it was) from somewhere...

IPFs are better than ADFs. (http://it.travisbsd.org/lemmings/ipf.php)

I'll PM you where to get Kickstart ROMS.

You will also want to create a "blank floppy" .adf file for storing savegames for Lemmings 2.  To do this, go to where it says "New Disk Image".  Set it to 3.5" DD, then click on "Create Standard Floppy".  You will then be prompted for a filename for the resulting .adf file.

Does that work for you?  Somehow, I can't get Lemmings 2 to recognize my savegame disk...

Re: amiga lemmings rom

Well, if Finlay has the IPFs that should work fine too, I'll let you help him with downloading whatever else you need to use IPFs.

Does that work for you?  Somehow, I can't get Lemmings 2 to recognize my savegame disk...

It works perfectly fine.  What happens when you try it?

Wouldn't it be ironic if your IPF is at fault?  (Well that's the only difference I can think of off top of my head. ;P)

Re: amiga lemmings rom
One other thing that I should mention about IPFs is that WinUAE's emulation of Lemmings 2 is flawed when playing the 1976 (US) disks, instead use the disks in the 0351 (Europe) archive on my site.

To use IPFs, all you need to do is extract the [link=http://www.softpres.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=cache&media=files%3Aipflib_w32.zip]ipflib[/link] in WinUAEs directory.
