resload_control error

[HymnsomniaK]

Some WHDLoad installed games quit with this error.

Function 'resload_Control' called with unacceptable arguments

Any idea what it means? thank you

[Codetapper]

It might help if you named a few games where this error occurred and preferably attach the .whdload_log file

[HymnsomniaK]

I am currently going through my installed games to see how many/which cause that error. Does the MAKE COREDUMP option create the log file you talk about or do I have to do something else? I'm using WHDLoad(registered) for about 1 day so I don't know that much about it.

[Codetapper]

Yep. I prefer to edit the .whdload_prefs file (in your s: dir) to point the coredumps to T: rather than the default of c: in case anything goes wrong while it writes the dumpfiles. The file will be in wherever you have set COREDUMPPATH to.

[HymnsomniaK]

Even though COREDUMPPATH is T: it still dumps it on c: , do I have to set it as a tooltype in the slave? -> I have resolved this issue , I can now dump on t:

In c: i've got 3 files - .whdl_dump - .whdl_memory - .whdl_register -
You need all 3 or just 1? -> I know now you need all 3

I'll just dump those that gimme trouble and post here again.

[HymnsomniaK]

Ok , here they are.

I'm using the latest WHDLoad official release 16.6

[Codetapper]

Only the log file is generally needed as that has the status of the memory of the Amiga when it crashed. On PCs memory dumps are quite useless as nobody knows assembler whereas the WHDLoad guys can usually work out what caused a problem from the log.

[HymnsomniaK]

I've included all 3 anyway , it's only bad if you are low on disk space.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

Any idea what it means? thank youthe reason could be an not actual WHDLoad version. Do you haave running the latest 16.6?

[Wepl]

I have checked Stardust and at least here it is an incorrect terminated taglist. This install needs to be updated. WHDLoad 16.6 is more exact in checking the taglists therefore this errors doesn't occure with older WHDLoad's.

[quote=I'm using the latest WHDLoad official release 16.6[/quote]

You're absolutely right! I know this because I have WHDLoad 15 in WinUAE and Arabian Nights runs fine.
So it's an installer needing an update then? I'll keep checking the WHDLoad page for it. Thanks :bowdown

[Wepl]

I think all of these installs have an unsufficient terminated taglist and therefore must be updated.
I've updated SinkOrSwim and Stardust. Others should follow.

I'm sorry but when I started this thread I didn't think it was for bug report , I just wanted to know if I had to change any tooltypes for it to work on my setup. It turned out to be a bug so I'll report properly any others I find.

it's fixed but AMC/AstroMarineCorps have the same problem :(

[Retro-Nerd]

Darkmere has the same resload error. I wrote a bug report to MiCK some days ago.

Yes, i saw the Darkmere update on the WHDLoad site. Thanks for fixing Curse of enchantia & Krusty. :great

[killergorilla]

Just thought I'd let you know Chaos Engine AGA has the same error, I posted a bug report to JOTD a few days ago :)

(The CD32 version also quits with an "illegal instruction" message which I have also included info in the bug report) :D

[Peter]

Does anyone know if Darkmere was fixed as I downloaded it today from Amiga Magix and tried to run it under WHDLoad 16.6 (registered) and I get the error as mentioned above - also with Cannon Fodder 2 and Chaos engine AGA - I will report the bugs but I wondered if anyone had heard any news?

Darkmere is fixed since Wepl's last slave update. Get the install package here and replace the old slave with the new one.

[killergorilla]

Chaos Engine AGA is fixed too, and Cannon Fodder 2

[Peter]

Cheers KG - that worked for Darkmere, I'll give the other two a try tomorrow...

[killergorilla]

I can upload them already installed if ya like?

[Peter]

That would be really great - yes please!

[killergorilla]

Both in the zone sir :)

[Peter]

Nice one KG - thanks for that - I have become a bit of a game addict again - I could never finish either of these so I'm going to be in for a few late nights!!
