4 bombs playing games

Post by andresv »

Hi, I have a 520 STE with 4Mb of RAM, an ACSI2STM hard drive (with PP HD driver & TOS 1.62) and I'm getting random 4 bombs playing any of the supported games. Is this a known issue or there is something wrong with my machine?
I have played many other games with no issue so far.

Thanks in advance,

Andres,

What are "supported games" exactly ? If you're talking about PP games then you should probably report the issues to him.

Yes what Exxos said. But also, the first thing you should do to troubleshoot is try running the same game from floppy / flash-floppy and see if it bombs. This is to rule out asci2stm issues which is an entirely different ball game.

Also, which games?

And...are you running them from a full bootup? As in all ACC's and AUTO folder
programs loaded and in med res?

You might want to boot up to a "bare" state before running your software from
low res.
