[Sega CD --> Amiga] Heart of the Alien

Not WHDLoad but I've just added Heart of The Alien Redux to /Commodore_Amiga/Retroplay/HDLoaders dir on ftp.
Finally we can play Another World II on Amiga.

[Amiga] Heart of the Alien

Not WHD related but perhaps some of you might want this.

Boots fine (as DH0) but not thoroughly tested though.

OMG!!!

That is one of the best posts / news I've read in a long time

Who did this, how did they get the SegaCD version to work on an Amiga etc?

We should probably make a dedicated thread for this really

Edit: created a new thread, hope you don't mind Retroplay?

This is brilliant indeed. 'Amiga Gaming'-wise 2016 is arguably the best year in this century so far.

i do something wrong. after the intro/cracktro when workbench should load:
Quote:
HOTA-GAME.exe
Program failed (error #80000004).
Wait for disk activity to finish.
and then guru at reboot.

config: 020, full ecs, 1mb chip, 512mb slow, 8mb z2 fast. ks 2.05 (a600hd)
if i change fast ram from z2 to motherboard fast ram, then simply shell opens.

//edit: after i edited the last option, second z2 fast (board) ram to 8mb (max),
the game it now seems to work, at least the game intro sequence is running.

but i can't get past this screen where you have to enter letters.
