"Eye of Beholder 2" older slave

Groundhog · 02 May 2008, 02:34

Would anybody share his old version (1.02a) of the WHDLoad slave for "Eye of Beholder 2" ?

There's no music in the char gen screen with the new one, and the improvements are minimal.

BTW I just discovered the new AGA versions of both games. I'm so happy !

And I'll be able to play in french ! Thanks to the authors !

Anyway I would still like to be able to run the old one on HD. Just to remember the old times.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT : Forget it. Thanks Retro-Nerd.

Aga version rules, the automap is the best i think!!

Retro-Nerd · 02 May 2008, 16:26

But both AGA versions are still in WIP. I hope CFou! will find the time to finish this awesome packages someday.

kriz · 02 May 2008, 16:36

Yes, but still completeable..

Groundhog · 02 May 2008, 16:54

Are you sure the first one is still in WIP ?

I have noticed some corrupt graphics in EOB 2 AGA,it's a pity after the HUGE work in the game have not been polished those small details

uhm... i'm guessing here, but, have you tryed to disable Scalos, JIT and eventually set the cycle exact function on, if you are on winuae?

Installed with WHDLoad, the games ask for an MMU compatible CPU. I'm currently installing games on an emulated 68020 for the best general compatibility. I could change the configuration to a 68030 or a 68040 but it would mean that I would have to recheck my installed games for a possible occuring exception.

Another thing that I could do is to change the configuration on the fly from the emulated machine (with uae-configuration, thanks to TheCyberDruid for pointing out), and then reset, and run a script at boot. This is currently what I'm doing for several old games. I have a bunch of scripts, not necessarily resetting, but fine tuning the config, mapping disk images, etc. to run the different games properly. Thanks to that, I can run everything from a Picasso config.

So, my question is : do the games really need the MMU ? Can I remove the MMU tooltype safely ?

If not, it would mean that I would have to change the config or to add a script with a reset, and I would like to limit this latter option to a minimum.

Yes, in case of the 040, but 030 is almost perfectly compatible with anything WHDLoad related. At worst you'll just use some tooltypes - which is needed very rarely.

OK, thanks for this precision. Unfortunately, 1/3 of the games I installed don't have a WHDLoad patch (the major reason of all my scripting). So my question is still :

Do the games really need an MMU ?

This can't be, there aren't that many unwhdified good games left

Groundhog · 05 May 2008, 18:22

Hehe.

Well, I really am an old nostalgic gamer.

I think that no,I can play EOB AGA in 68020 perfectly,it seems to me that the MMU is optional and I don't think that there are many games that need MMU.Anyway I use the EOB AGA HD version because the EOB AGA WHDLoad version needs a lot of memory.

Groundhog · 05 May 2008, 18:37

OK. Thank you very much.

BTW, how far did you go in this version of the game ?

I'm not playing it,I have only tested the default savegame in my A1200(020)

In WinUAE it is more difficult to make it work as I commented more above
