I'm trying to play Last Armageddon through M88, and I can't begin a new game. I think the d88 images I have are bad because the emulator doesn't recognize diskD when I switch disks. Anyone else have a proper dump of this game?

As far as I can see disk D must be write protected to be accepted for some reason. The same might be true for disks E-G, can't tell without actualy playing the game. If you have a multi-disk D88 image you'll need a d88 editing tool. If you have separate disks simply making the image file write protected probably has the same effect. Don't make the multi-disk image write protected. It would effect all disks in the image and disk C must be writable for the save states.

Disk A+B are for the intro btw. The game is booted with disk C+D.

Thanks for the advice Ashura. M88 now recognizes diskD when you setup the d88 file to read-only.

May I recomend http://www.moemoe.gr.jp/~yourtoy/last/ a very nice japanese site with loads of info and shiny pics of the game.

I have heard a rumor that there actually was a cd version of this game is this true?

I have Last Armageddon for FM-Towns, but emulation isn't very good. When your character is on the field he moves way too fast. I don't think the game was intended to play like that.

Edit - Found the game on my hard drive and decide to play it again. I realize you can make the game run at normal speeds by downgrading the clock to 4MHz in Unz.

What's on all the cds? Some special content? I assume the game has speech, but 3 cds seems a bit much for that.

For PCE there are 2 betas/prototypes that you can find on the net and of course the retail version but its only on 1 cd in its entireity.

Here are some pictures of the fm-towns version and sure enough theres 3 cds, does it have fmvs that are not in any other version?

I've never beaten the FM-Towns version, but I assume the whole game spans all 3 discs. I checked disc 2 & 3 and they're not bootable, and they contain alot of voice audio tracks.

It doesn't have any fmv, they're pretty much all still pictures during cutscenes. The intro is nearly identical to the PCE port, but the in-game looks closer to PC-88/MSX2 version than the PCE port though.

I've read the FM-Towns version featured 3D dungeons like the original game, could you confirm it?
