Annotation of uae/docs/COMPATIBILITY, revision 1.1.1.2

1.1       root        1: Incomplete list of programs that work with UAE. If you have something to add,
                      2: mail me.
                      3: Every Kickstart version seems to work, provided it is not a 68020 only
                      4: Kickstart, and that the image file isn't corrupted (of course).
                      5: 
                      6: The following programs were tested by me:
                      7:  - Powerpacker 2.3b
                      8:  - DME, DICE (compiles at least transdisk and transrom)
                      9:  - Turrican I: Works 100% now, unlike in previous versions.
                     10:    In world 3 (the vertically scrolling levels) they achieve multi-level
                     11:    scrolling by means of _awful_ copper and sprite tricks. It works, but these
                     12:    levels are tremendously slow.
                     13:  - Katakis (also known as Denaris)
                     14:  - Zork Zero
                     15:  - Corruption, Fish
                     16:  - Holiday Lemmings 1994 (always nice to watch them blow up)
                     17:  - Champions of Krynn (including harddisk installation on the unixfs.device)
                     18:  - AmigaCPE (my CPC emulator :-)
                     19:  - SimCPM (CP/M emulator, ran some Infocom adventures with it)
                     20:  - DMS 1.11
                     21:  - Lots of demos
                     22:  - TheA64Package
                     23:  - AIBB 5.5 and AIBB 6.5. These work, but you need the "-S 3" option for
                     24:    maximum sound hardware compatibility (or start AIBB with the "-b" switch).
                     25:    Otherwise, the stupid beep when pressing gadgets doesn't work and the
                     26:    program gets into an endless loop.
                     27:    Oh yes, and the CPU is detected as running at InfMHz :)
                     28:  - AmigaBasic
                     29: 
                     30: The following programs (among others) were tested by other people:
                     31:  - Games: Silkworm I, BattleChess 2, Monkey Island, IK+, Giana Sisters,
                     32:    Arkanoid, Team, Vertical Mayhem, The Faery Tale Adventure, various 
                     33:    incarnations of The Bard's Tale, The Empire Strikes Back, Worms/OCS,
1.1.1.2 ! root       34:    Shanghai, R-Type 1 & 2, Battle Squadron, The Sentinel, Elite II (Frontier)
1.1       root       35:  - Directory Opus
                     36:  - Deluxe Paint IV
                     37:  - Devpac 3.04
                     38:  - Maxon Assembler 1.1
                     39:  - KinkWords
                     40:  - FileMaster 2.2
                     41:  - ImageFX 2.0 
                     42:  - Aegis Images
                     43:  - Atari Lynx development tools
                     44:  - CygnusED Prof.
                     45:  - DiskMaster 1.4
                     46:  - Several packers (PP 4.0, LHA, PKAZIP). Some of these don't like the unixfs.
                     47:  - MUI
                     48:  - Brilliance
                     49:  - Several Cloanto programs have been by Michael C. Battilana from Cloanto
                     50:    Software: Personal Paint, ColorType, Personal Fonts Maker and Personal Write
                     51:    (all versions)
1.1.1.2 ! root       52:  - Shapeshifter. This requires 68020 emulation, and apparently you need to use
        !            53:    "Prepareemul A1200". You may run into problems with the filesystem code, in
        !            54:    that case use the hardfile.
1.1       root       55:  - others
                     56: 
                     57: The following programs I tested don't work yet:
                     58:  - Cybernoid 2 (copy protection problem, apparently)
                     59:  - Some demos
                     60:  
                     61: The following programs tested by other people don't work (note that this
                     62: list is fairly old, and may not be up to date. Please mail me if one of
                     63: these programs work for you):
                     64:  - Interceptor (works, but graphics are wrong)
                     65:  - Stunt Car Racer (conflicting reports, here)
                     66:  - Spherical Worlds
                     67:  - NewZap (probs with writing)
                     68:  - others
                     69: 
                     70: "Brokenness" notes
                     71: ==================
                     72: Some programs only work on some Amigas, or with some configurations of UAE.
                     73: If you have information about more programs, please tell me about it, because
                     74: this could be very helpful for other users, too.
                     75: 
                     76: Incompatible with more than 512K chipram:
                     77:  - Silents "ICE" demo (characters missing in sinusscroll part with more chip)
                     78:  
                     79: Requires exception 3 and is therefore incompatible with 68020+ CPUs:
                     80:  - Katakis (Denaris)
                     81:  
                     82: Requires slow memory (-s option), even if there's plenty other memory:
                     83:  - Silents "Global Trash" demo
                     84:  - Anarchy "Seeing is Believing" demo
                     85:  - Andromeda "Decaying Paradise" demo
1.1.1.2 ! root       86:  - Spaceballs "State of the Art" demo
1.1       root       87: 
                     88: Requires slow CPU:
                     89:  - Silents "Hardwired" demo (times multiplication instructions and refuses to
                     90:    work if they are too fast)
                     91:  - Andromeda "Multica" demo (directly processes blitter output without
                     92:    waiting for the blitter)
                     93:  - Turrican I: Only the "Rainbow Arts" intro, it will abort too early and
                     94:    continue loading if the CPU is faster than a 68000. Otherwise fine.
1.1.1.2 ! root       95: 
        !            96: Programs that set reserved bits in custom chip registers:
        !            97:  - Andromeda "Seven Seas" demo uses EHB and sets the AGA "KILLEHB" bit at the
        !            98:    same time... It almost seems as if it _wants_ to use EHB on OCS machines
        !            99:    and a regular 6 plane display on AGA machines.
