No issues with Bobby Blockhead when killing the WiFi module first. I didn't have to bypass !Boot. I can leave it in attract mode, go in and out of the instructions page and play the game (badly) just fine.

Can confirm I'm on 5.30 and my video mode is X1920 Y1080 C16M F50.

I got a CDROM ISO version of Birds of War (Flight Simulator Games Collection) and installed it to HDD. On start it gives an internal error so I replaced the !Run with F1004201 and now it displays the splash screens when starting. The Fourth Dimension Presents, A game by etc, with music by different ideas music. Birds of War splash screen appears then it dies with Internal Error: undefined instruction at &01979D94.

The F1004201 file mentions in the comments about how to install the game, but the CDROM installer seems to handle the installation itself. As such the step to copy the disk 1 floppy image into the !BirdOfWar folder and rename it to F1004201 can't be done as I don't have actual floppy images. Think I need to try and source the floppy disk version or could there be something fairly simple to change in the !Run file?

The script, as you've noticed from the install notes, is for the original floppy release. I've yet to create any scripts for games on that CD-ROM, which from memory is an APDL release and I suspect might contain StrongARM compatible versions of games with modified/stripped protection.

The games on it are probably different enough for the script to not work, particularly if it does any patching - in most cases I've adjusted the scripts to report if the game doesn't match a version it's expecting, although not in this case by the sound of it.

You've not mentioned what machine you're trying to run the game on? If I have a copy of the CD, I'll take a look.

I'm running it on an A3010 with 4MB RAM. Mounted the ISO using your excellent CDFaker and installed to HDD. The APDL ISO versions I "found accidentally" online.
