Pinball Illusions WINUAE

Dastardly · 11 March 2002, 21:49

Does anyone know how to get this game running in WINUAE?

Ive tried using the A1200 (AGA) config with the Kickrom3 but it wont load at all.

RetroMan · 11 March 2002, 22:08

Which WinUAE Version u using ?

Dastardly · 11 March 2002, 22:10

The latest one....Ive only had it for a few weeks.

RetroMan · 11 March 2002, 22:12

I remeber playing it on 0.8.17 I guess, try that one but with Kick 3.1 not 3.0 ! I´ll check it out as soon as I get home ....

Dastardly · 11 March 2002, 22:14

Sorry I was using 3.1 before, my mistake. It still wont work though.

RetroMan · 11 March 2002, 22:24

Hmmm, I just tried with WinUAE 0.8.21R1 and it works

I set 2 MB Chip, AGA, Kick 3.1, Sound 100% ..... maybe you got a corrupt Version ? I´ll post mine to the zone

in a minute !

Dastardly · 11 March 2002, 22:30

OK thanks. Im downloading it now.
Ill let you know.

RetroMan · 11 March 2002, 22:37

Dastardly · 11 March 2002, 22:40

There are still some graphic glitches when running Pinball Illusions in WinUAE.
When you archieve the multi-ball mode in any table, the game turns into high-resolution mode displaying the whole pinball-table. The balls look interlaced (black horizontal lines) and the game will not switch back to normal screen once you have only one ball left. Maybe this ‘bug’ also appears on original Amigas.

Drake1009 · 25 March 2002, 17:09

As far as I recall the game isn't supposed to switch back to lo-res mode once you lose all balls. That's something you have to do yourself. Find the key for it and press that.

Cool sayings ...

I get the loading message on screen..... then the screen goes blank, and that's as far as it goes!!! Have used and tried config above but no good. I'd guess as WinUAE had moved on in versions (I have the latest available), configs have prolly changed....

Can anyone help me with the Config setup?

Thanks!!!

DamienD · 02 April 2006, 17:26

Hmmm, haven'y tried this on the new version of WinUAE yet but I'm sure it works:

Use these disks (cr PDX):

http://www.planetemu.net/index.php?s...wrom&id=337648
http://www.planetemu.net/index.php?s...wrom&id=337649
http://www.planetemu.net/index.php?s...wrom&id=337650
http://www.planetemu.net/index.php?s...wrom&id=337651

As for the configuration to use, see this thread for a good base AGA configuration:

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=19904

...use Config 5.

Hope this helps

quahappy · 02 April 2006, 17:41

Cheers DamienD (again!!)

Had already downloaded the files from planetemu but have tried again in case of bad dump or sumfink but still can't get it to work with config 5....

Music starts when the "loading" message dissapears and thats it.. crashes and reloads again! Awww nuts

"Twiddling" with buttons now in desperation LOL

DamienD · 02 April 2006, 17:44

Hmmm, let me try it out and see what happens...

Give me half-an-hour

DamienD · 02 April 2006, 18:37

I'm back, extracted the new version of WinUAE and tested Pinball Illusions using the crack by PDX.

Worked fine, I've attached the config I created for you

Notes:
... I used this kickstart: Kickstart v3.1 (A1200) rev 40.68.rom
... Display: Windowed / Full Screen + Scalines: 720 x 568 (achieved by using PowerStrip)

All WinUAE directories are default except for:

Adf files: D:\AMIGA\Adf
Kickstarts: D:\AMIGA\Rom

As I use UNC paths, you will see this in my config file this:

kickstart_rom_file=.\Rom\Kickstart v3.1 (A1200) rev 40.68.rom
floppy0=.\Adf\Pinball Illusions AGA\Pinball Illusions (1995)(21st Century)(AGA)[cr PDX](Disk 1 of 4).adf
floppy0=.\Adf\Pinball Illusions AGA\Pinball Illusions (1995)(21st Century)(AGA)[cr PDX](Disk 2 of 4).adf
floppy0=.\Adf\Pinball Illusions AGA\Pinball Illusions (1995)(21st Century)(AGA)[cr PDX](Disk 3 of 4).adf
floppy0=.\Adf\Pinball Illusions AGA\Pinball Illusions (1995)(21st Century)(AGA)[cr PDX](Disk 4 of 4).adf

Obviously change the paths to suit your setup as required and adjust the display to how you like it. Let me know how you go.

quahappy · 02 April 2006, 22:21

Thanks for all the info DamienD!!

Right.... After checking all the config set-up, etc. it appears that the Kickstart you have specified (A1200) I don't appear to have!!! The closest match I have (bearing in mind all the roms were from Amiga Forever CD) is, Kickstart v3.1 (A4000)(Cloanto) rev 40.68 (512k), of which I tried Pinball Illusions with, but still no go. "loading" screen then start of intro music, then ..... cue emulator restarting.

I have Rescanned and checked all ROMS in both PC and CD directories.

I'm going to once again try to download PI Disk one from planetemu again just to double check i'm not getting a blip somewhere..... (if not, some other site!)

quahappy · 02 April 2006, 22:38

Guess I DID have a bad dump after all!!! I downloaded Pinball Illusions ADF from http://www.amigapower.tk/amiga.htm with the config you (DamienD) provided and..... hey presto... it works!!

Thanks once again for all your help.

Just going to alter it now to play in full screen..... don't ask much do I ??!!

DamienD · 02 April 2006, 22:51

No problem at all, glad that it's now working for you
