International Open Golf Championship
 

Heya guys,

Anyone know how to get International Open Golf Championship running consistently in WinUAE?

Using the only available files (.ADFs from TOSEC), I can actually get to the title screen without a software error 3 of 20 attempts :sad

Tried every single conceivable AGA configuration / logical settings change.

work with whdload generic. Archive in the eab ftp. You can make a hdf with (extract the directory data)

Thanks Aladin, that's my last option.

I'm sure there's probably a native installer on disk so this is what I'll do next; if nobody knows how to get the .ADFs working reliably.

on gamebase Amiga there are working ADF

There is only one set avaliable; .ADFs and no .IPFs...

Of course Gamebase Amiga uses this as do I; that's not the topic of the thread.

There's something seriously messed up with this game...

Installed to my "Classic WB Lite 3.1" .HDF and works everytime... Used SnoopDos; nothing special needed.

Created a self-booting / bare bones .HDF; crashed 70% of the time :banghead

Installed standard WB 3.1 and then the game; crashed 70% of the time :banghead

...can't figure this one out :scream

Are you having an issue with a HD installed version or loading from disk?

I tried with the GBAmiga disk version and it works fine. Tried multiple times and always made it to the title screen without issue. Went in-game and that worked too.

A1200 Basic non-expanded configuration quickstart with compatibility slider set to 2. Tried with 1 and 2 drives and both times it worked.

Both :agree

As above in my opening post, there is only one set available...

Maybe that's my issue with the .ADFs i.e. too many drives enabled ;)

...but doesn't explain why the various HD installs I've done fail.

Various Quickstart settings are the first thing I tried after having issues...

Still happens here even after following what you've suggested :sad

Not disputing there's only one set. Just wanted to make it clear that's what I was using :)

Just installed a clean Workbench 3.1 HD and installed the game from the same disks. Same config as before, except 4 drives this time. Works fine.

What the???

...trust me; as per posts in this thread I've exhausted a lot of different options / settings.

Please post your magical .UAE file and I'll try to work out what's different (as I've tried everything for the past 2 hours and also followed your suggestions but still crashing) :banghead

Nothing special about it, but here it is.

Thanks man, appreciated ;)

...but still get this most times as per usual:

Maybe I'm just really lucky? It's consistently worked fine for me. Tried at least 5 times now.

I've tried over a 100 times now; .ADFs and the HD install on various scenarios...

:(

I honestly don't know. It works here without any issues. I haven't done anything special. WinUAE portable install. Quickstart A1200. 1 or 2 drives.

...and trust me I tried that; plus many other settings / options before even creating the thread :agree

Thing is, we are both using WinUAE 3.6.1; registry vs. portable makes zero difference.

Yep. I know you know your stuff which is why I'm stumped as to why it works for me and not for you.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with a magical answer.

Where's ross when I need him :p

...to me it's not a WinUAE bug; given Toni's 2 x decades of moving forward; emulation is 99% perfect :agree

No, I think it's an issue with the files in some respect; which I'm sure an experienced coder can identify quickly.

Bad crack maybe ? I have uncracked version if you want (has manual check, which i can't pass due manual lost somewhere).
