Thanks!I i want to add it to my Amiga Mini, as always. But i'm not sure how i have to modify the xml file... i changed the "game filename" tag, but i suppose i have to modify additional tags and lines, am I right? Probably the name tag? And the subpath? I noticed that inside the .lha file, the scorpion loader file ins't present anymore.

Please can you provide me the new text i have to add into the xml file? The right is the working xml file for the previous Castlevania release, the left is the new one i have to modify...

Hi! Both are correct, the right is the working one so keep it safe as backup. I mean, as a rule of thumb, any name you type inside the quotes (" ") that you highlighted in yellow, will be the screen name that will appear when you browse the games list on the mini. In theory, it can be anything you type, like "Castlevania AGA latest version" or the like. Thanks!

unfortunately it doesn't work.

And this is correct as the old version is completly different from the new one: the left is the old one and the right the new one. I have to modify additional lines into the xml file, but i don't know how to do that... :( Can you help me please? thank you!

Question: did it works if you leave everything default? Like unchanged scorpion_dev as name and also filename? I'm a bit in the dark at the moment but a wild guess looking at your pics is that it may not be accepting brackets or parentheses ( ) and I'd also avoid spaces as a general rule in computing (that's why text is usually connected by the underscore _ character).

i tried in both the following ways (i changed the filename only into the first screenshot, and both filename and name into the 2nd screenshot) and i renamed the game in: "scorpion_dev.lha", but it doesn't work ... :(

thanks!

Did it ever worked with the default xml text? Without any attempt of rename? That's the 1st thing (to check if it's working AT ALL). If it is, then we could mess around with screen names.

I used the previous version of the game with the name modified into the xml file ant it perfectly worked. I haven't played the new version into the Amiga mini as it doesn't work in any way :( But all the previous versions perfectly worked, for sure. Do you need additional information? thank you!

Thanks for the information, and I'm sorry, I'm a bit in the dark regarding this. But try the one in the image. Bear in mind that the scorpion_dev.lha file in the mini's stick should be renamed to CastlevaniaAGA.lha too. And this assumes that it's the only CastlevaniaAGA currently in your mini (like it's in mine). As a wild guess, I'd say that it's conflicting with previous version and causing all the headache.

thanks, i downloaded again the Amiga mini version, and i changed the game filename only, in this way. Now the game starts, but is is really slow...and with sound issues...it is very strange! It is the first time it happens...I tired it in a different USB key and the issue is still present. I tried the previous version (it worked fine) and now it has the same issue! I have this issue with Castlevania only... I really don't understand why.. :(

Done, it works! It is MANDATORY not to change the position of the xml lines! In my previous test i moved the lines to the right, as you can see in my previous screen. Now i leave them to the left and the game works correctly! I don'w know why...but in this way the game works fine! Many thanks!
