Game not working on Kickstart 1.2 / 1.3 from floppy #1

I was not able to boot the ADF on WINUAE when using a kickstart 1.2 or 1.3: it loads for a little while but seems to stay stuck as soon as the game attempts to open a file. Compiling from source yields the same result as trying the prebuilt ADF from https://lastminutecreations.itch.io/germz. From Kickstart 2.00 and upward, it works. And on older kickstarts, it works when launched from HDD too. So the problem seems to be a mixed of trackdisk loading combined with older kickstart rom. Are you experiencing the same issue? I'm seeing a similar problem on my real Amiga 2000 with a GOTEK drive too when trying my own code. I'll try Germz to see if the same situation happens.

Yeah, this is known issue. KS1.3 handles fdd in odd way (e.g. uses blitter for disk operations). It's really a game development library (ACE) problem. I don't know if it will be fixed in the first full GermZ release, but I'll try to fix it ;)
