Config for Aladdin (1994, Virgin)

[morph72]

I can't get this game to work properly... I have the Prodigy crack, and no matter what config I use, I always get a Software Failure when the program tries to access disk sector 19.

By the way, is this an AGA game or not? I've tried both ECS and AGA configs, but none seemed to work.

It is an AGA game, and it doesn't seem to work on the emulator.

People ... open your eyes (and mouths, too) :) :)

I got it to work in early January... with WinUAE 0.8.15 Beta 2!
I know *some healthy people* (pun ;)) still have this leaked beta on their server(s). This is for Beta 2 ONLY.

Tested with Prodigy crack...works for me.
:D

Amazing... Mr Dig, you should try this to make the Aladdin demo run...

Thanks a lot for your help, guys. So it's an AGA game then? Strange, both BTTR and Ami Sector One list it as ECS (someone should tell Bernd & Bobic ;)).

@andreas: WinUAE 0.8.15 Beta 2? Hm... haven't tried that one yet. I think I'll have to ask those mysterious "healthy people" you mentioned! ;)

Yeah!
With Toni Wilen being a great helping hand, I finally found a working config for this game.

For "techies" only: PRODIGY/FELON trainer made use of f003 (PMOVE) instruction, which is a 68030 MMU instruction. Therefore you can only get past that trainer, if you set at least an 68040 CPU!
Please note too that the game doesn't work 100% yet in WinUAE: Borderblanking and sprites outside display window (AGA-only features) are on the TODO list and *not* emulated yet.
This results in those funny color combinations visible outside the playing screen. Apart from that, it works perfectly now.

Use WinUAE 0.8.22 R1.
Happy gaming! :)

Is this the one cracked by Lisa Sweetcorn/DCS

Another thread brought back to life.
When I use the Aladdin-configuration the game (Prodigy-crack) seems to work fine. However, play it for a couple of minutes and it freezes. The game does not respond anymore but the music keeps on playing.
Has anyone experienced the same problems?
