WHDLoad SWOS Playtesters needed

[Retro-Nerd]

Lemming? Don't know what you mean. But the blog and the older site were mentioned here often enough. It was a quick link to the original link, nothing else. And no reason to insist for credits.

A quick link, but weeks if not months of work. Reason enough!
But now fingers crossed that those issues or rather problems with SWOS and whdload can be solved soon!

PS: Lemming war mal einer, der bei uns auf sensiblesoccer.de online spielte!

Not officially. But there are some people who already try it, like myself.
fs-uae's disadvantage is the "user-unfriendliness". It's so complicated to setup, especially for computer-no-hopers!
But we have an eye on the developement because it has some real potential.

Winuaxp+p2p client has been integrated into an Amiga Total Pack with a more user-friendly interface, still used by the vast majority of players.

I had no problems on my 68060, but i've seen it for myself on some 68030 boards.

Ok now I understand thank you.

i find this difficult to understand... the whole issue with kaillera lag / server setup, while you have no such problems with FS-UAE. It is a far easier program to set up than WinUAE, it's just that you have pre-made 'package' for SWOS on WinUAE.

An FS-UAE SWOS package could be set up just as easily.... maybe someone could even create a SWOS specific wrapper for it, removing many of the functions/options.
It has all of the online-play style buts the Kaillera version you guys use does... maybe you just need to put a request in to FrodeSolheim to add a few simple buttons for "host server" and "host game".

FS-UAE lets you plug in a WHDload ZIP file as an HD and direct boot - or you could straight-swap with your existing HDF you are using on winUAE-Kaillera.

It's been a while now.
Any chance of fixing that "tactic bug"?

Hey Galahad - just wondering how this is progressing/how far away a release might be?

It'd be a nice Christmas present for fans of SWOS...

Is the latest slave available somewhere? Even in beta form
I've got major slowdowns on my A4000 with CS Mk3 060

[vagrant]

I'm also curious about the updated slave. The game is coming up in the eab competition and it would be nice to play latest version

[trixster]

Bump. Any update?

[Combofate]

I'm really interrested by this fix too as SWOS 96/97 upadeted seasons 2013 suffer from slowdown on A600 68020/25mhz 10mb ram too and this game is beautifull even if i don't like football keep the good work regards


Edit: i just discovered that my problem don't come of the whd Slave but was my ACA620....now with tooltype "Cache" the game don't even suffer from slowdown it play perfectly smooth now!

So, need some volunteers to playtest this install. Basically, I only really want to hear from people that when they play my original WHDLoad install, suffer slowdowns because that is what the update is going to tackle.

Still willing to help.

Issues:
- save / load tactics (*.tac files are corrupted, putting all players in bottom right corner of tactics screen once a tactic is loaded)
- loading of DIY files after Amiga has been rebooted (no files displayed)

Working fine:
- Loading custom teams. File "customs.edt" works 100% accurate, even if created with other version of 96/97, incl. PC DOS.

*bump* - Hey guys, any news on this one?

[macce2]

I would be ready to do some playtesting with my A4000D 040/25 if it would help ?!
