Soldier Of Light problem.

07 March 2011, 20:30

Hi.

First things first, I'm not a heavy WinUAE user, and there's more than a possibility that I'm missing something, but there seems to be a problem with the Soldier Of Light SPS (#2001) image using the latest official WinUAE. When loading the game, the emulated Amiga resets when the game hits track 12. I've tried using different settings but to no avail. Can anybody confirm?

Also tried using the latest beta (2.3.2 Beta 1) but problem persists.

Thanks.

Confirmed with the lastest beta. Doesn't work with any A500 quickstart modes here.

Something seems to be really wrong. With 2.3.1 using the '1.3 ROM, ECS Agnus, 1 MB Chip RAM' A500 quickstart, WinUAE itself freezes when the emulation reaches track 12.

Some exception 3 (address error) copy protections have been broken for some time now, 68000 exception 3 behavior (PC in stack frame) is undocumented and not very logical.. Sometimes it works accidentally, sometimes it breaks again...

I'll try to partially fix this again in next version..

You probably have logging enabled if it freezes, this kind of software side crash that moves stack on top of custom chipset region can cause huge amounts of random log messages (which can make it look like it has frozen.), weird graphics and sound glitches

(at least I can't duplicate any freezes, only lots of logging..)

Okay, will try it with logging switched off later.

Should be fixed in 2.3.2b2.
