CSPPC does not start with DirectDraw

[thomas]

Since 3.2.2B1:

select A4000 / CSPPC quickstart and click on Start. It tells me that DirectX is not installed and when I click Ok, it goes into a loop. The displays at the bottom of the window are still empty. I can uncatch the mouse with the middle mouse button, but the WinUAE window does not close, it has to be stopped with TaskManager.

In 3.2.1 it starts normally and shows the insert-disk screen.

Do you mean it happens even when DirectDraw is selected in misc panel or only if Direct3D is selected and DirectDraw fallback fails to work?

EDIT: and does it happen with more basic config? (I can't find any D3D/DD related change)

[thomas]

Yes, now that you mention it, it always happens if it falls back to DD if D3D is selected. I didn't notice because all my configs have DD saved, but OS4/PicassoIV config is forced into D3D mode (and then falls back because D3D is not installed).

With the A500 quickstart it does not even ask for D3D but runs into loop immediately. With DD selected it works.

Does http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.7z fix it? (Error message caused buffer overflow.. Not sure if this was the exact reason but it probably was.)

Yes, with this exe it works.
