Zardoz - black square...

Heya guys,

Anyone know how to get rid of the black square when playing this game:



Happens with both available TOSEC .ADFs. There is no .IPF or WHDLoad version.

Tried every configuration under the sun but no joy...

Somehow the HOL screenshot look fine though???

I uploaded these screens and could never thought anyone would notice this. The square is not visible in HOL because I fixed it in a paint program

What I can see is it only the first level that has the square. This must be a "bug" in the original game?

Great game BTW! Music is awesome!

It's a little hard to see. Check the background to the right

Oh hipoonios

I was going to say in my original post:

Maybe these screenshots have been altered by the HOL team?

...but for DrBong's sanity I thought I better not

Repent your sins!!! Shame! Shame! Shame!

That's true. HOL screenshots should not be altered. In this case I fixed it because I was sure it was a bug in the version I played. Now hearing that you have tried every version, is I'm not so sure anymore. Will replace the altered screen ASAP

I have tried all possible versions available i.e. a massive selection of 2 x .ADFs...

...but, I have also tried every conceivable configuration and still no joy. After seeing the HOL screenshots I thought that I was doing something wrong.

Sucks when there is no .IPF to compare with

I've fixed it.

You can confirm that the glitch is only in first level?

(I've to better package the .adf and then upload to The Zone, tomorrow..)

Bye,
ross

Checked a second time just to be sure - There are no more black squares!

Still not convinced if the square is in the original. Can it be that the crackers added it by mistake?

Well, if an original comes out can be checked
The patch was made not in code (nor from crack/trainer nor game) but in maps data
(this not exclude a bad initial rip from crackers).

Cheers,
ross

...sorry for the off topic guys.

@ross; since you like fixing things and are sooooo good at it

...I have another request for you, please see this thread: CUBO CD32 Games..

Toni kindly provided the details to patch Candy Puzzle so that it can be played on an Amiga CD32

We would like the same thing done for Harem Challenge

Galahad offered to take a look but hasn't had the time I guess...

Is it just me or does the music in this game use samples from Turrican 2?
