I have just got hold of a copy of Clares Arcade 3 Compilation, but it
doesn't seem to like RISC OS 3, the game runs as a Shift/Break - as
many of the early games did but whilst the machine reboots instead of
loading it tells me again that it needs shift/break to load.
I'm guessing that it is a RISC OS 2 only game, or maybe it's not
compatible with my A4 laptop?, it was a (C) 1988 game so maybe it was
written for Arthur?
Any help much appreciated
cheers
Matthew

Obey files (doubleclick + shift) and post it here.

Eventually its a good idea to extract the text of the !Boot and the !Run

*Configure Filesystem ADFS
*Configure Drive 0
*Configure NoBoot
Then shift-break should work. However you'll have to put the settings back
to normal if you have a hard drive and want to boot from that instead.
*EXEC ADFS::0.$.!Boot is usually the way to run these without shift-break
(!Boot is usually a list of commands rather than an application),
however some games reconfigure the machine (unplugging modules to save
memory) and then reboot - you may fox them if starting them happens
differently.

Thanks for the replies to this , I'd completely forgotten about it,
unfortunately the only working machine I have at the moment is my
Iyonix and I don't think i'd get much joy out of that with this game,
hopefully my A4 and A3000 will work again and I can try it on there.
