    Everytime I try to load up OnEscappe with the RTG updates, I get this error:

    chipram too fragmented

    What is that all about?

    Also, what is preventing Genetic Species from running in MorphOS?

    Well I'll say one thing. DON'T buy MorphOS to play all those Amiga games you could never afford the hardware to play on back in the day.

    It's a shame there isn't some sort of work around to re-direct those direct calls to the Paula chip.

    There is: it's called E-UAE.

    Yes, but E-UAE has no JIT for one, and secondly it does not support PPC, so I'm still at a loss.
    I think the only games that do work under MorphOS are WipeOut, which is buggy, Payback, which is also buggy, and Shogo which works perfect for some, and then for others like me, it has no sound. And no one seems to have a logical explanation as to why that is. :(

    Payback: shouldnt 68k version work without problems? PPC version uses Paula directly but is there reason to use PPC version after all?
    Wipeout: you have to use loader to get rid of debug hack but should work?

    I never had those games but I have read many users running those games succesfully on MorphOS.

    I'm pretty sure I tried the patches for both, but just to be sure I'll give it a go. Besides MorphOS has upgraded a couple version since I tried them last.

    Wipeout already worked fine with MorphOS 1.x.
    (except the introduction screen that is black in full screen mode, just skip it)

    You must also disable the videos.
    The game tries to open a 15 bit screen (which is not possible on many setups) to play them, fails and crashes due to a lack of basic error checking.

    I have Shogo (original by Hyperion)...
    1. No Sound
    2. Big problems with installation. Installer can not generate regiter file "client". I dont know if its a problem with my ShogoCD or Morphos... Some my friend say its CD.

    Wipeout now works with the limitations listed here. So thank you!!!

    Shogo, I still get sound in the opening movie, but before I get to the actual game menu, I still get an error telling me I need to configure my sound device!

    This sucks! I was really hyped about playing Shogo. No sound is a deal breaker on FPS'. :(
