Nonetheless, Klondike won't run because I can't find a modeId (what actually IS this?) in the screenmode database. Maybe an AGA 256 colours PAL screen mode has a specific modeId? As I only own an ECS system (+ Merlin), my PAL mode is restricted to 16 colours in hires-lace, and my Merlin screenmodes (which DO offer 256 colours in the corresponding screen sizes) probably have other modeIds? Is that it? If so, is there a way to patch my system so the Merlin's 640x512x256colours mode is recognized my Klondike? Thanks, // Christian "ELP" Busse \X/ near Frankfurt, Germany

Klondike doesn't exactly use an 8bit mode, though, in that it displays 262k colors rather than 256 through some hardware/software screwery. However, I'm sure that someone here could provide you with the modeID of HAM8 Productivity or HAM8 Super72, which are, I think, 2 of the modes offered by Klondike II. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
