First of all this isn't a grumble, the work that has been done on ULS has been fantastic and I regularly log in to see what new goodies I have for the falcy, just some observations on my system that might hopefully give some insight to improve future versions of ULS.

OK so firstly I seem to have one of the problem falcons that doesn't like to run many of the games unless I hold control to boot into low res st compat mode. This isn't too much of a pain at all and I am not complaining I am just curious about the behaviour. Some games (Magic Pockets for instance) when I am in normal mode (i.e. 256 mode running thing etc) will load the loader perfectly and change res etc but then when it comes to running the game (i.e. hitting space to continue) just hangs.....this doesn't happen in compatibility mode after holding control to boot everything runs swimmingly. However games that have the with ULS starting screen refuse to change res from 256 mode and I get four very squashed versions of the load screen with the wrong colours at the top of my desktop. Some games run from 256 mode sometimes and then other times won't boot freezing as before (this is after a coldboot to 256 mode) yet everything runs perfectly in st compat mode. However all of Klap's games boot and work quite happily from 256 mode, very odd as it is using the same loader.

I am not whinging as I said as I am very happy to be able to play the games at all, just a few pointers if it helps for future versions/updates.

Also, and I may answer this myself here, some games that use sampels (e.g. gods etc) for the music suffer from the samples playing too fast and so being out of sync with each other, is this normal and down to the machine just being faster than the st?

Oh yeah and my specs if you are interested:

14 meg falcon
tos 4.04
lastest hddriver
Thing desktop
vga monitor

Anywhoo many thanks for all the work, as I said I am not looking for fixes here just passing on info. (I really really appreciate all the hard work you guys keep doing!)

This is a long shot, but could you try your problem falcon with another monitor? I remember one monitor I had some time back had the twinsync bug (i.e. all games playing too fast), but when I switched monitor, everything was fine.

Just for the record I went back to this tonight. I might have missed something in some documentation somewhere but it was NVDI 4 causing the problems, removing that allowed the games to boot perfectly in Thing!
