I've got Fellow installed on my Win98 PC. I've been trying to get it to run Final Fight. The game boots with a little intro screen that says to click the left mouse button to start the game. When I do, it starts loading, then crashes Fellow. I get the following error message:

"Your program caused a divide overflow error.
If the problem persists, contact your program vendor."

Thing is, it runs other games okay, so I'm rather confused. Anyone have any suggestions?

According to Back To The Roots, it should work with Fellow 033, though I personally always use WinUAE.

Download the pre-made configuration files they have for both WinUAE & Fellow and make sure the following recommended options are set:

Kick 1.3
2MB Chip RAM
8MB Fast RAM
1792kb Slow RAM
68000 CPU
Sound on
Disk DMA speed fast

Other than that, try WinUAE, which I've always heard was much better in almost every way.

Thanks for the reply, Hobbes. Here's what's happened since I took your advice...

Got WinUAE to run it, but it's _sllllloooooowwwwww_. So I'd really like to try and take one more wild stab at getting Fellow to run it.

When I tried what you said to do with Fellow, it still crashed, which lead me to wonder if it was a VESA problem, so I got Scitech Display Doctor. The good news is it's not crashing anymore. The bad news is now it's just simply freezing up when it tries to read Disk 1.

Any other suggestions?

Well, I can't run Fellow as I have WinXP. I could probably try WinFellow, but I doubt that's the problem.

Are you sure your disk images are OK? These worked fine in WinUAE (based on TOSEC Amiga Games F-G 0.25 dat):

Final Fight (1991)(U. S. Gold)(Disk 1 of 2).adf
Final Fight (1991)(U. S. Gold)(Disk 2 of 2).adf

Which ones do you have?

I'm not sure what to tell you. WinUAE runs it okay, so I'd like to think the images are okay. It's just that WinUAE's slow to the point where the game is barely playable (my fault probably...old machine). So I'd like to try it with Fellow is all.

The files are simply called "Final Fight - Disk1.adf" and "Final Fight - Disk2.adf". I don't know if this will help you out, but according to WinZip, the CRCs on them are 72b5886d and 5856d9f9, respectively.

Don't panic, I'm not trying to run them zipped...I'm newbie, but I'm not _that_ much of a newbie. I'm just tossing the numbers out just to give you an idea of what I've got here is all.

Thanks again.

winuae settings can vastly affect the performance, some versions run too slow if you tell them to match a500 speed but work much faster otherwise.

WinUAE handle's zipped games fine, you can prepend stuff to choose between files too i.e. blah.zip\#2 to select the second disk image in the zip.

Those are the Quartex-cracked images. They seem to play just fine in WinFellow (winfellow_alpha_v0.4.3_build_1_directx5_snapshot_2001_11_15 -- jeez) with "nearly" default options; the only options I changed were to show LEDs, map a controller, and point to a Kickstart 1.3 image.

So unless you're using an older version of Fellow (sounds like you're using the DOS-based version since you mentioned VESA), or something is *very* wrong with your setup, I'm not sure why it won't work for you...

WinUAE plays ZIPped images, so I wouldn't have given it a second thought.
