Help required debugging bug in WinUAE HDF file

[Steve]

Like the title says, I have a HDF file which screws up at a certain point and I wonder if some kind soul (WinUAE debugging expert) would be able to assist in pinpointing what the problem is.

What's the issue exactly Steve?

I don't mind having a look if you upload somewhere

Wonderful!

Do you know your way around the debugger? I don't enough to try and locate the problem. I've uploaded the files to my folder on the server. I'll include some instructions.

I'll add the config as well.

Nope...

Yes to SnoopDos though and a few other tools.

Ok, followed your instructions:

4. Once loaded press on play match and then press on result to skip the match
5. When the last game is done, finish the season.
6. The game then works through all the data files - after a few leagues the screen goes blank

So basically I need to find out what is causing the game to hang at this point

Hope you can help - it's been bugging me for years!

I see what you mean...

I used my ClassicWB .HDF and added your .HDF in. Had SnoopDos loaded in the background with these settings below selected and saved the log to the root of the my ClassicWB .HDF:



The screen goes blank after the process you describe but the music still plays... you can't quit the game so reset the Amiga.

Looked at the SnoopDos log file afterwards and no fails.

...that's about as far as I can go.

You'll definitely need someone with debugging skills to monitor / work out what's going on at this point.

Okay thanks for trying. Maybe someone else wants to give this a go? It's actually a known problem with edited data files causing the game to crash at the end of season. All files have been packed though using RNC ProPack so the problem must be something else. I just wish I knew more about the debugger to try and pinpoint what is causing the game to break.
