Jako, że Perinoid w szale instalacyjnym popełnił również instalkę Incognito w mojej 800tce (dzięki Łukasz!) to powoli klaruje się lista niekompatybilności. Padł pomysł, żeby zrobić listę tego co nie działa.

1. demo Bittner Reality
2. demo Boogie Nights (z CF idzie, z SIO2SD nie)

Dopisz, że
- Boogie Nights nie odpala się z SIO2SD, ale działa z wewnętrznej karty CF.
- Overmind nie odpala się z PCMCIA, ale odpala się z SIO2SD.
- Bitter Reality nie odpala się z PCMCIA, ale odpala się z SIO2SD.
- Phantasy Demo nie odpala się z PCMCIA, ale odpala się z SIO2SD.

- Kilka(naście?) pudełek z klawiszami i światełkami. I jeden Vectrex, żeby nimi wszystkimi rządzić.

It would be useful to know which Incognito firmware is being used and whether or not internal (PBI) high-speed SIO is enabled for those titles which fail to load via SIO2xxx devices. Regarding the problem titles, most or all exhibit identical behaviour on U1MB systems (which is hardly surprising given that Incognito's XL/XE mode emulates exactly the same operating environment).

1. Boogie Nights (XEX) may be incompatible with the SIO2SD boot loader. I don't have SIO2SD to hand right now, so can't confirm.
2. Overmind (ATR) hangs on an U1MB when run from the CF card too. Possibly it relies on some property of being loaded from a serial peripheral.
3. Bitter reality (ATR) encounters a disk error on an U1MB machine when run from the CF card, probably also because it provides its own built-in serial loader.
4. Phantasy (ATR) crashes when loaded from the CF card on an U1MB machine (reasons unknown).

Any ATR which chooses to load itself via a custom SIO loader will always fail when launched from the CF card. The ATR handler is only compatible with software which employs standard calls to DSKINV/SIOV.

Boogie Nights works without problems on my expanded XL/XE machines when loaded both from Side2 (+U1MB) and from SIO2SD. By the way, it is interesting since it's the only piece of software with such behavior which I came across so far (a lot to try still ;) ).
As for the rest of the mentioned software, if it doesn't work on U1MB+Side2 - well, it makes things clear :-)

Thanks for the info. :) Will have a closer look at Boogie Nights... seems intriguing.

Boogie Nights is a simple fix. Using the new U1MB/Incognito firmware, enable the PBI BIOS, and then set 'BASIC state' to 'disabled' on the first menu. It seems the demo simply fails to disable internal BASIC, but I have no explanation for why it works without holding down 'Option' on stock machines. In any case, it booted perfectly via SIO2SD on my U1MB 600XL, even using the high-speed SIO driver built into the newer U1MB firmware. :)

Of course regardless of BIOS settings, it loads from SIO2SD if you just hold down the Option key too.

OK, I got it. It seems I had a hardware problem - my Option key is not working as it should and pressing it did not necessarily meant, that the Basic was turned off at boot :-D So we may say, that Boogie Nights are OK with Incognito ;-)
