Random WHDLoad loading
Lastly i get again real hardware. It's A1200 with 8MB FastRAM. As hard disk SD card with SD2IDE converter is used. I'm using 32GB SD card so scsi.device patch is used. Also as file system SFS is used with max transfer 1fe00. Partition with games have 10GB.
Problem is WHDLoad sometimes load games ok, sometimes ends with black screen and only reset is possible. It's random and i don't know what is faulty. It's high chance to run ok just after reset, and every next game run after another has bigger chance to end with black screen. I even test memory for some errors but everything's ok. Other games (i.e. not using WHDLoad) works without problem. What can be done to made WHDLoad working ok? |

Yes, i have hi-res interlaced screen mode. After changing to not interlaced everything is working fine. Is there possibility to make it works with interlaced screen mode. What kind of FastRAM card You have? @JOTD Excuse me, but i have valid bought key. So i don't need to use pirated key and have none of them. Problem with pirated keys were found by myself over 20 years ago before I register for key. I have not network card. Edit: It still happens even with no interlaced screen mode. But it's after few run and exit game, every time it's bigger chance to happened. Last edited by Solo Kazuki; 07 September 2020 at 21:35. |

Hey no offence. whdload pirated keys happen all the time. I think that Bert will have to look into this interlaced mode thing.

How much chip RAM do you have after you quit each game? It sounds like an issue with garbage collection.
If you're able to get back to Workbench, maybe try running "avail flush" before running another game to see if that helps? |

I had the issue with an 8MB Amigakit card and with a 32MB Blizzard 1230. The fix was to upgrade to kickstart 3.1 or newer.

It happens even with fresh reboot, so i don't think so. Also I have always memory back at least almost all of used when game wasn't suspend.

@Solo Kazuki
Do you also have Kickstart 3.0? If it is a problem with 3.0 and Interlace it could maybe reproduced in WinUAE. This would make it easier to debug it. Please open an issue in the bugtracker (http://mantis.whdload.de/) for this. |

Yes, i have KS3.0. And indeed on WinUAE with similar config (KS3.0 8MB FastRAM) it also happens.
Edit: Here is mantis bugreport. Some mistake happens because i'm tired... |

I've confirmed this in WinUAE.
On my regular Kickstart 3.1 A1200 config, it works fine. All resolutions, both interlaced and non-interlaced. As soon as I set the same config to Kickstart 3.0, go into any interlaced mode and start a slave, it shows the information window about the slave and then sits at a black screen. You can't quit out of WHDLoad with the quit key, like WHDLoad hasn't initialized yet (ie. before the quit key code is executed). Kickstart 3.0 non-interlaced works fine in all situations. This is strictly Kickstart 3.0 interlaced. I haven't tested any lower Kickstarts. Also worth noting is this is on a Workbench 3.1 setup. I haven't tested Workbench 3.0. |

Interesting. I get a black screen loads of times with WHDLoad on my CD32 and I have that set in Hi res laced. I will try in non interlaced tonight and hopefully that fixes it for me until the next release
EDIT: Google suggests the CD32 is 3.1 so maybe not the cause of my issues or still related. I will test tonight and post back. thanks all |

No, must be different issue for me. Black screen with loads despite latest whdload. No key file i can find. Some games I know work fine with the tf330 ie Roland off a compilation cd, oh well, will research more
