Dynablaster whdload: loadong screen stresses scandoubler!

keropi · 02 January 2007, 22:35

Has anyone noticed that?

in the whdload version of Dynablaster (v1.1) for the little time the green "LOADING" screen appears, my Arxon videoslot scandoubler makes a bbbzzzzz sound and the upper part of the screen is distorted... that only happens to this screen of Dynablaster everytime! I have tested many games, none showed that! anyone else has this prob?

I don't think it's your hardware.
I had a 'Supplex' version of the game which did the same thing only worse on my real A600. Completely unviewable.
Almost as if it was in NTSC mode?
I've just tried reading that very disk with the catweasel, but alas the disk's had it.
May be try a different version?
May be it was my rubbish portable TV?

installing the NTSC monitor file on DEVS:Monitors and adding the tooltype "NTSC" on the slave's icons, fixes that error...
it was quite scary, like some component was stressed out too much!

edit: and on the readme it says the game is written for NTSC... I never noticed before...
too bad a 2nd joypad fire button can't be used for the remote-detonation... pressing space sux

Dynablaster has a pseudo 60Hz mode, which can be disabled whilst its loading, can't remember how, combination of mouse buttons or something.
