Can anyone help me with this?

I got it working. I diden't have the current 1.30 installed, so it's working now. But i can only start the beta from 1.30, wonder can't i start it from 1.31?

Why do we have to download a whole new set of 500mb+ 'patch' every time?

Does this new 'patch' erase the previous 500mb+ installs from older 'patches' or does it just keep hogging up my hard disk?

That looks like Vista to me?????

Because the patcher isn't working yet. Quit yer *****in. In my day we had to write our own games and then load them up from a tape recorder! in the SNOW! UPHILL!

Not sure on that error message. Do you have the live game and the beta installed from the same user?

I'm working on rearranging the archive files so they fit better in a shoebox.

I have the same problem with Win7 (32bit).

PS: 1.30 is not installed...

You have to have 1.30 installed first as it sets up the windows registry keys properly for playgate.

At least you didn't have to make paper tape from chewed up hornet's nests, punched with the stingers you pulled out of your face. And then there were no tape readers so you just had to look at the paper through your almost-swollen-shut eyes and imagine the game....

tape recorder? luxury!

i spent 15 days using a hand-held paper hole puncher to make my own tape...and then another 2 days to feed it into the tape reader on my Altair and have altair process it...finally, once i hooked my TV up, I was able to play pong.

hornets?!? you were lucky!

i used to get at up a 4 in the morning 2 hours before i went to bed after my father spent 25 hours beating me with an africanized honeybee nest taped to a stick and then because we didnt even have computers yet i would blink in binary and my brother would blink back! that was multiplayer back then!
