max rally (aga) guru

Retroplay · 28 November 2008, 16:38

The game MAX Rally when run on AGA config guru's when I'm about to start a race.
It works fine if I use an ECS config.
Both ECS and AGA modes works fine with the game in WinUAE 1.5.3.
I have upped the game to the zone for testing purposes.

Moved from beta thread because it will crash on earlier versions too.

It calls debugging routine (which does not exists in release version) by executing trap #0 with error string "Raster-wait position out of range".

Probably some not-too-good sanity check..

EDIT: yes, it is stupid check, it has small CPU loop that reads DFF004 continuously. If vpos isn't correct after 30000 loops it crashes by calling that non-existing debugging routine. (this won't ever work with JIT, non-JIT mode depends on host PC speed, adjusting CPU/chipset rate should help..)

Strange, I loaded the game with an AGA config with 1.5.3 and it didn't guru, played the first woods level without problems.
So it's just a matter of time before it will or perhaps I was just lucky it didn't

[edit]
I was lucky the first time, it crapped out on me halfway through a race this time.

When selecting 'Championship', then 'Challenge' mode, the countdown starts for the race, then as the race begins I get a guru.

This is the same with the unofficial CD32 port I found, and the disk version on planet emu. I assume [b] in the Tosec title means it's a bad image. Has anyone got a version in which this mode works?

Embarassing... Just created a CD32 disc and tried it out on real HW... and it works (although without sound... see http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=537860#post537860)! Must be an emulation bug in winUAE!

Sorry for wasting everyones time. I think this probably means that the [b] should be removed from the TOSEC entry - I've confirmed it works here on real HW and have been playing it all afternoon.

If you read Toni's replies above you'll see it is a bug in game

The 2 adfs from the TOSEC set guru's from disk and when installed to HD.
However the HD version (lha archive) posted here in the zone a while ago works flawless for me, on real hardware, I haven't checked in WinUAE.
