    • I'm SO close! Please help!!


      After months and months of trying to get this emulator to work I've run across what I think and hope is the very last problem. I have EVO installed, but whenever I try to run EVO, it gives me an error message saying:

    • I think the "Monitor Tool" is a bit of custom Ambrosia code which is used to switch the game resolution and bit depth at start up. Are you running the emulator in 8-bit color? If not, it might work.

    • Hey, is there any way to get Override's framerate up? It's going really choppy.

      Override automatically goes at the best frame rate it can, so if you're not getting good graphics, it's your emulator's fault.

      WHAT EMULATOR DID YOU USE?

      How did you get it to work?

      You could one, give it more memory, or two, decrease the speed in the preferences. Wont directly adjust the framerate, but might make it less noticeable. oh, and make sure u dont have caps lock on, sometimes it makes the game too fast for the frame rate.

    • I raised the RAM to 200 mb. That's made the gameplay run at an....acceptable...level. I plan to use the Speed-Plug (or something similar to that name) from the add-ons page to see if I can speed it up a bit more.

      To answer Beyaach's question, I'm using Basilisk II with a Quad650 rom image file, a HFV file I made by a Basilisk II tutorial (their site is really hard to navigate), and a starter disk from their site. But not the "System70_boot.dsk", that thing doesn't work.

      Thanks guys.
