Defender of the Crown 2 Emulation on CDTV (Was: Dotc2)

G.Longsword · 15 May 2007, 14:43

my hdd-install of win3.1 told me the cd32-dotc2 disk is a cdtv-disk,
so i tried running it in cdtv-mode,
can`t hear ccda and no mouse-cursor appears, any ideas?
thx

Just out of curiosity, but how did you manage to install windows 3.1 on an emulated amiga?

dyslexia stroke me, wb3.1, of course

Dotc2 is not well emulated yet....

There is no confirmation if it ever was supposed to work on cdtv = ígnored until someone confirms with real machine. end. (btw, thread title is really useless)

I have an image of this game... I can try it on a real CDTV when I get home.

Thanks. Include also some image identification info, like size, type, crc. There is always possibility for hacked versions..

Of course there is. See the box cover at HOL, it clearly states CDTV compatibility. Actually, DotC2 was never intended to be a CD32 game. It was just sold as one because the CDTV didn't do well on the marketplace.

Kristian95 · 16 May 2007, 13:58

I own DotC2 and a CDTV and it plays perfectly on the machine

I've completed the game a couple of times on the CDTV (don't own a CD32)

If you mean it stops loading soon after CDTV logo, try starting emulation without CD installed, wait until CDTV title screen appears and then insert the CD (or mount virtual image)

btw, try to be more specific next time, thanks

Very cool news musashi5150

While you are at it do you think you could also test to see if these issues occur on real hardware:

Taken from the thread: DoTC2 winuae-prob?

1) Demonic voice (slow) after loosing a raid.
2) Game freezes / stops loading after rescuing a maiden.

Edit: just saw this post:

None of the above issues then?

musashi5150 · 16 May 2007, 21:14

I've just tested it on my real CDTV and it seems fine - but there are maybe some issues in WinUAE. I'm sending my image to Toni to investigate

DamienD · 16 May 2007, 21:18

Cool

I should mention that when I've played / finished DOTC2 it's always been using CD32 settings in WinUAE...

Toni Wilen · 17 May 2007, 12:19

Problem was hardware level CD audio stop command (="play cd audio from sector zero to sector zero") which didn't return expected status code.

Excellent Toni

So all good now hey?

When the new version of WinUAE containing the above fix is released I will play the game all the way through, test all previous mentioned bugs and report back...

Best to use the CDTV settings now instead of CD32 settings?

seuden · 17 May 2007, 12:36

Dotc2?

EDIT: Got it, Defender of the Crown 2? lol

Yes.

CDTV = A500 = very exact emulation compared to CD32 (AGA)

G.Longsword · 17 May 2007, 15:17

great news
thank you very much, toni

is there any way to test it right now? perhaps by changing the config.txt?
or do i need to wait till new winuae-version is released?
