Marvin's Marvellous Adventure AGA

Walker · 14 May 2002, 09:19

The game loads just fine with WinUAE 0.8.21 R3, but I can't start the game. I try to pick different options from the game menu but nothing happens. Anybody out there with a solution to this?

andreas · 16 May 2002, 01:06

There is no solution.
Thanks for bringing up a stone-old game issue I almost forgot about.

MMA has never ever worked with ANY WinUAE (BTTR got it into its non-working list since about 4-5 years).

Toni:
On the main menu, you can only select the QUIT and the ENTER PASSWORD option, but neither the START option nor the INSTRUCTIONS option.

I suppose this works on a real Amiga? If so which model(s)?

Is this an official list....? I'd be happy to help out updating it.

Well, I did get it working once. I can't remember how, though.

andreas · 16 May 2002, 17:08

@Walker

but of course it is!

Who told you it isn't?

Well yes, you've got the permission (

) to update the BTTR list every time you feel to it.
Guess what I've been doing the past years?
Remember that strange configuration information I made Operation Thunderbolt work with? (Printer port off, etc. ...

)
And many more...So help the boys update their stuff - you've got my blessings.

@Cody
could you upload your version in the Zone in case it's not the TOSEC version?

Walker · 16 May 2002, 18:10

LOL!

Now I get which list you mean! I thought there was a separate listing of games not working in any emulators.

I guess I can put together a list just by looking for games that has a "-" in the WinUAE column.

@Cody

You sure you played the game ??? Cause this is exactly the scene that appears after waiting for some moments (demo mode) !

Drake1009 · 16 May 2002, 21:56

Looks like a great game too. Strange how the fire button only refuses to work on start and instructions.

CodyJarrett · 17 May 2002, 08:02

I think you could be right, Retroman...

fixed about 5 minutes ago

'Ods my bodkins!

Hell, I wanna know that! What's the logical reason resp. the technical reason with a menu with only half of the items functioning? Speak up!

Now you've made me completely curious ...

Toni Wilen · 17 May 2002, 18:16

1: game's music play routine interrupt was ignored -> no music.
2: game ignores start requests until music is playing with correct volume.

Result: non-working game

Thanks.
Even killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
