Hello Antonio
I purchased this compilation a while back as well. Epic did not do a
very admirable job of getting most of the games running correctly.
Here's a tip:
JST can be used to run standard executable files as well to degrade
your computer. Follow these instructions:-
Simply do the following:-
1) Copy the game(s) which don't run to your hard drive.
2) Change the game(s) icon to a 'project' icon. You can do this by
loading the games icon into the 'IconEdit' program that comes with
Workbench, and changes the icon to a project icon and re-saving it out
as a 'project' icon.
3) Click once on the game(s) icon, select Information from top of
Workbench. For the default tool, type: JST
4) For the tooltype for icon include 'EXECUTE'.
5) Click save to save the icons default tool and tooltypes.
How this works:-
This will zero the VBR cache, switch sprites to OCS size. The game
should now work. You can use JST using the method I've described above
to get all your old games running. Any probs, then send me a personal
mail.
Hope this helps,
