Pb with Leander IPF496

dlfrsilver · 10 August 2009, 14:28

Hello,

After checking Leander IPF 496, and found the music at the end of the game is corrupted, and winuae is not faulty.

* Is it a known thing ?
* I just know about an NTSC release and a PAL release.
* I own Leander in both retail and compilation, and never had the music crash that is present on IPF 496.
* My version (european) use the same disk format as IPF 496 but doesn't have the bug.

Does it mean i have an alternate version ? Could it be verified ?
Is there multiple versions of this game ?

I hit that same problem with IPF496, Company and Skid Row cracks. My orig NTSC version doesn't have that bug.

I know that Psygnosis released a NPC communication bug patched version for Shadow of the Beast II, so I don't doubt that there might be a fixed Leander version as well.

There is no fix. My original disks were never modified. I got them like they are.

I meant that Psygnosis fixed the bug on their end and released a patched version for manufacture.

All I can say is that the dumps look good to me. Will contact Denis to make sure we have the correct version.

Alright, just cheated my way to the end... scrolltext with music. Seems like we have a good dump now... Thanks Denis.

don't removed IPF 496 with corrupted music. it has an alternate ending text.

mr.vince · 21 August 2009, 08:33

Well I guess we will just add the new version as "1.1" or similar and will of course keep the old one. As the music clearly is a bug (the disk encoding seems to be fine), this seems to be a maintenance release, maybe just given into replication a few days/weeks after the first one. Who knows?

to say the truth, i own 2 differents versions of Leander on the 3 available.

I have the game in retail version, which is correct, in big box, and also in the compilation
Megamix from Psygnosis. Both are correct with end music in outro.

I submitted an NTSC version to SPS in Apr that didn't have the end bug either. I wonder if it's different than 2351.

Ok, if this was April 2009 then it's still in the queue...
