When I fitted a second internal drive, which actually replaces DF0: and the old DF0: becomes DF1: Xenon will sometimes work now but still crashes occasionally. I am totally discusted and will NEVER buy another Psygnosis or BitMap Brothers games again and thats a promise. I have experienced NO PORBLEMS with any other software. It seems that the boot stuff on XenonII is VERY VERY touchy about the drive it boots from. On my A500 it wouldn't boot. But if I connected a TEAC drive as DF0: it would work every time... You could say that it is therefore the drive but thats not true as the standard drive isn't TEAC so .... Its a brilliant games but I very rarelt bother to get it out of the box because it probably wont load anyway. P.S. My Curreent amiga is a B2000, it is 3 months old with 1.3 roms etc. Xenon will only occasionally work on that too.
