HD installable Lemmings crashes with bombs

[Reluctant16bitter]

Hi all,

I downloaded an HD installable Lemmings from https://atari.8bitchip.info/SCRSH/lemmings.html and when I start it from my SD4ST+ by double-clicking the START.TOS, It starts. But in the main menu, when clicking the 1 Player option, the game stops, and I see four bombs appear on the left.

What do the four bombs mean, and how do I fix this?

My STE has 1MB RAM and TOS 2.06.

Bomb descriptions are here: ST Bombs

4 bombs is usually what you get on an STE when the FDD is not connected, but it could be anything. Is the game even STE compatible?

Please try this lemmings instead, I find these patched games to be far more reliable: http://www.klapauzius.net/Old_Games.html

That works! Thanks!

Can you point me to some docs on how these things work, what the bombs mean, I what I can expect?

The number of bombs equals the 68000 exception number. 2 is bus error, 3 is address error, 4 is illegal instruction. There are many.

In short: the program didn't behave and you ended up trying to run code that probably wasn't code.

Thanks for explaining and the link!

Hey, that's my favourite kind of code!
