As soon as I open the program a dialog say it lacks a lot of rom and then ask me to check in the system rom path and click rescan rom.
that the first problem.
after that when I go to config as you told me, no program appear but a lines saying C. user public document amiga etc
and there I am leftif any way I push star, then another bloody dialog appear saying could not load system ROM, trying system rom replacement.
If I follow suite, appear a black frame wich after centries open and present etc etc
and nothing works.

Exactly! now go to paths and look at what it says. Paths is on the left menu the second one down.

When you are in paths the first one should say for example:

System ROMs: C:\WinUAE3500\

All the rest should also say C:\WinUAE3500\

If it says some other place then you still have another winuae on your computer probably. It is best then to close winuae. Go to that other place and delete the folders.

Then when you open winuae go to paths again and check again to see if C:\WinUAE3500\ is there.

As I said you might have to do this a few times if you have several versions of winuae on your computer.

OK so you have to go to your User\publicplace folder and delete winuae folder from there.


Best regards

LOL!! Don't give up!! I can feel that you are very close.. We just have to make sure that the paths work correctly when you start winuae3500.

So it is best to make sure all other winuae's are deleted so that some history memory does not keep pulling up an old path when you start.

ps.... as soon as you see in "PATHS" the paths C:\WinUAE3500\ you can go to "Configurations" double click on a configuration chess program and you can play!!

nothing else left to do.

If You like Sargon-3 so much You will probably like Sargon-5 even more, and it simply runs under DosBox / DFend

I already have sargon 5 running in D-Fend.
It was not so much to run sargon 3 as such than to see how it runs in amiga compared with D-fend
