Not sure if I'm missing something here but that's not a glitch, it's the normal scrolltext as it's supposed to be, use cursor up/down to move the scroller to see the "fake 3d effect".

A500 OCS/ECS (most common) ... strange line appears (pic.2)!

Should be fixed now. (Even if plane count decreases, shift out all disabled plane pixels from emulated Denise shift register)

That's not the intro I was referring to, I meant the "glitch" in the Kefrens/TST/TTA intro, picture 3 in this post.

hello and thnk for this thread!

i have a problem with 2 demos :
1)DESPAIR by LSD (problem of timer between part)
http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=94
2)PLASTIC PASSION by UPFRONT (always the same scroll problem)
http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=348

Do you mean the small pauses in sound when it changes scene/part ?!
Not sure is that the demo problem or emu problem ... maybe should be tested how it behaves on a real Amiga ?

Try to run it with A500 ECS !!!

We had already discussed about the demo on this thread -> http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=69935
Whether there is the same scroll problem that you mention ?


p.s.
Btw. always is good to mention on what config the demo was tested ...
Note: All demos must be verified/tested in WinUAE A500 Quickstart configs before reporting any problem !!!
... if a demo is running good in any of A500 Quickstart configs than there is no problem.

Also, on the 1st page of this topic is a list of already tested demos, so is always good to check the list first !!!

thnk thnk u amilo for your answers!! upfront work in ecs mode and i need to test ya lsd on my amiga for compare! and thk for the others infos.. you make my day!

A500 confirmed. Music seems to use CIA timing and it probably conflicts with floppy step timing (I guess it uses same interrupt without correctly checking it)

It also has bug in greetings part, if music CIA timer was started in bad position (near the end of frame), it will cause scroller to jump randomly. (=if you get this under emulation, boot the demo without disk in drive and insert it manually after WB hand screen)

2)PLASTIC PASSION by UPFRONT (always the same scroll problem)
http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=348

ECS required.

I thought you mentioned that for:

And yes, also is missing -> Ektoplasma (Trackmo) by Technoflight


And seems also from latest is missing:

Yes, I mentioned it but I didn't transfer it to disk or did any real Amiga tests.

And also from Demos with "most likely CPU emulator timing" issues:
Rampage (Trackmo) by The Electronic Knights ... the music doesnt missing now on "naked lady" part !!!

Also partly is fixed:
Mental Collection 27 Intro (Intro) by X-Men ... the rotating X doesnt completely lost from the screen now, but only, after a while, the lower part of it !!!

EDIT:
Also from Demos with "strange" issues:

Crazy World (Demo) by Dioxide ... it looks much better, so ... maybe it should be tested on a real Amiga with Indivision ECS to confirm is it the same now !!!
