With the new version, people are still reporting crashes. Despite the situation seems to be improved now It's a known bug of FS-UAE with WHDLoad games. You can try, but it's possible that this will generate crashes. Can I use the emulator save states of FS-UAE? new Once you are back to AmigaOS, you can close FS-UAE with the X.Ħ. On Mac, the key could be different from what is written, try different ones (for example Page Up or Page Down). Pay attention when you launch the game: a small window will tell you which key can be used to exit the game.
Instead, before closing the emulator, you must exit to the AmigaOS, otherwise games won't be saved. Simple fix for this: once you have saved a game, you might be tempted to type F12, and click X to close the window. Said that, both Windows and Mac users can have problems saving games with Amiga WHDLoad games (for example you save the games but then they disapper).

How to fix this? newįirst of all, if you have a Mac, be sure you have installed the game properly (see #5). Unlike us, Steam or GOG can also offer a technical support. GOG always provide all documentation, as well as soundtracks and additional files. When it's not available, you can try to search for it on Google, or, even better, you should check if the game is live on GOG.com or Steam, and buy it.
#Abandonware games is it safe manual#
But in some cases, the game manual is available as an additional download or included in the package. The game works, but I don't know how to play. If your Mac doesn't launch the game, open the System Preferences -> Security and Privacy, and check if you have a warning below "Allow apps downloaded from". Don't run the game from the installation folder! Once moved, you can double click the icon to launch the game. Now DRAG & DROP the game icon (just the game icon) into another location (e.g., Applications, or Desktop). If it's a DMG,ĭouble click it to open it. Then, when you open the archive, you either find a folder or a DMG file.
#Abandonware games is it safe archive#
What can I do? (MacOS users version)įirst of all, check if you have used Keka to uncompress the archive (see #1). Please also remember that GamesNostalgia is a free service, and we don't offer any support for the games. However, feel free to leave a comment on the game page, it's possible that other users might have found a solution. If we have published a game, it means that it works at least on Windows7 64bit, but there’s a chance it won’t work on Windows 10, and, if this is the case, there's not much we can do. There is no Windows 95/98 emulator for Windows 7 or 10, so the only possibility is trying to see if these titles - some of them created 20 years ago - still run on your new PC. Non-emulated games (Windows 9x games), for example, Hercules or Road Rash, are a different story. In general, you need to run a BAT file to launch the game with the emulator. Don't look for an EXE file (unless it's a Windows game, see below), because it won't work. Please also check that you are running the correct file: search for ".BAT" or ".LNK" file in the first level of the directory extracted (for example, PrinceOfPersia.bat). So, first thing, please check that you have extracted the archive correctly (see #1). In general, we don’t publish any game that hasn’t worked for us. What can I do? (Windows users version)Īll emulated games should work without problems. In most of the cases, it's because not all files have been extracted correctly. Sometimes other programs seem to be able to uncompress the archives, but when you launch the games, they don't work.

That's why you need to use the right software to open them. We usually compress the games creating 7z archives with maximum compression.
