I believe Wing Commander is fixed here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=92982
Re: TF330 - Game Issue
All these software "compatibility" issues were well known since the A1200 days. That's why WHDLoad was created.
Also, part of the problems come from using TinyLauncher. I really dislike how it manages the WHDLoad stuff, it creates unnecessary RAD drives, reboots for no reason, and is hardcoded to refer to "DH0:" regardless of what the actual device is called. And it boots in PAL only... Long story short, start your WHDLoad games from Workbench and don't use TinyLauncher.

Re: TF330 - Game Issue
Strangely enough that game (Wing Commander) I spotted as having that issue with the TF328 as well - so it's NOT 330 related, or by that I mean it's not CPU related. If there is a problem it must be RAM address decoding or something that is not related to the 030 on the TF330.
I cannot remember if I tested Wing Commander without the TF328, but I think I did and got the same problem - that lead me to wonder if there are different versions of Wing Commander and whether it related to the BIOS of the CD32 itself. Pretty sure I got that blue screen without the 328 connected. Could you try that test - ie. test without the 330 and try the Wing Commander ISO for CD32.

I should have read page 2 first... I see there is a patched version!!! =D Does seem like its the fast RAM it doesn't like. Which I guess makes sense - I cannot imagine the developers deliberately testing the CD32 version on a machine with fast RAM.
