Crazy cars III (Fox Compilation)

[dlfrsilver]

Toni, i have a problem here with Crazy cars III in original, under quickstart A500 config KS1.3 512kb chip + 512kb slowmem, the game passes disk 1 with the protection, i choose to start the new york race, then once i make the car go forward in speed, there is graphical bug on the road, and then the amiga crash.

Bug Reproduced on buth 2810b6 and 2810b7.

I zoned the RAW files of my original version (differs from the IPF 3068), it's the compilation Fox Collection 3 from Titus. The original version does 1 disk check on the intro, while mine does 3

Usual missing info: Does it happen with 2.8.0? If it does, nothing to do with 2.8.1 betas. Is it even confirmed to work with any kind of config (real or not)?

"Passing protection" does not really mean anything without checking the code..

[dlfrsilver]

RAW file made from a sealed copy of the compilation, never touched before, and no errors on disk. Installed with whdload on my A1200, the game is fully working.....

With the same 'quickstart' config it bangs out.

I'll check about winuae 2.8.0 ;

EDIT : Tested on Winuae 2.8.0 quickstart A500 mode, the problem is present and worse on this version than on Winuae 2.8.1.

I got a fully trashed screen when i start the new york course, when i only got the road failing and then the amiga crashing.

Tell me if you need anything "memsave", "screenshot", whatever.

Which confirms nothing. whdload of course bypasses all protections and other stuff. I'll only care if (future) ipf has same problem, sorry.

[dlfrsilver]

IPF has the same problem

PM me on this matter please.

[slightly off-topic, sorry]

Denis, I have just completed the New York course with the zoned RAW images in WinUAE 2.8.1 b7 in A500 quickstart (most common).

No crashes or glitches of any kind occured.
Perhaps I was just lucky it didn't happen ?

[Toni Wilen]

It can be "random" when using those kinds of image files. Even inserting disk before vs after emulation has started can make a difference.

I did some further testing.

Started A500 quickstart (most common) with disks inserted twice, no problems to report.
Started A500 quickstart (most common) without disks inserted twice, Hit F12 at Kickstart screen, insert disks, no problems to report.

A600 quickstart, no problems to report.

A1200 quickstart.
Here I get glitches in the background and menus, no "fatal" crash though but that could just be a fluke I guess.
Not an AGA friendly game I suppose.

So far it runs perfect on my setup (CAPSimg.dll v5.0)

[dlfrsilver]

when using Winuae 2810b7, load the game, the choose the new york race. There it fails.

I use the latest CAPSimg.dll, the one which is makes load ok the games with weak bits protection (v5.0).

And yes, even with using quickstart A500 + K.S 1.3 + 512kb chip + 512kb slow mem, it goes kaboom when loading the RAW files i have uploaded.

Tested on my real A1230 : the copy protection is passed and there is no problem in the game.

When you try to copy this game, and when you launch the copy, the game gets stuck on the protection track, the loading is not continuing. Strange really.

That's what I did, 5 times in a row actually and it hasn't crashed or glitched a single time for me in A500 quickstart mode.

END of the story. The protection has badly imaged in the RAW format. I have redumped the disk in KF mode, then converted it in RAW file, and the problem is not there anymore.
The crash problem doesn't appear. (check the new RAW image in the zone).

Sorry Toni, but i had no other points to rely on. Thanks guys for the testing

[Retroplay]

Great to hear that.

I guess I must have been extremely lucky not to have any crashes then using the old images.

[dlfrsilver]

i guess so, since it was protection related.
