Re: [hatari-devel] Ishar 1 and 2 falcon

[Laurent Sallafranque <laurent.sallafranque@xxxxxxx>]

OK, so  I've created st disks (thanks Eero for the zip2st trick, it 
works perfectly).

I've been able to play both Ishar 1 and Ishar 2 games.
They work with hatari 2.0


A remark : Ishar 2 plays with 2 floppies. I've inserted ISHAR 1.St into 
the drive A and ishar 2.st into the drive B.

But the game asks me to insert the disk B (hatari seems not to detect 
the drive B).
I had to eject the disk from drive A and insert the Ishar_2.st file into 
the drive A to let the game load the data from the disk.
Maybe the game use only one floppy drive, I don't know.

Eero, you can change the compatibility list for these 2 games ;)
Regards

Laurent
