International Open Golf Championship

DamienD · 18 March 2018, 18:51

Heya guys,

Anyone know how to get International Open Golf Championship running consistently in WinUAE?

Using the only available files (.ADFs from TOSEC), I can actually get to the title screen without a software error 3 of 20 attempts

Tried every single conceivable AGA configuration / logical settings change.

work with whdload generic. Archive in the eab ftp. You can make a hdf with (extract the directory data)

DamienD · 18 March 2018, 19:33

Thanks Aladin, that's my last option.

I'm sure there's probably a native installer on disk so this is what I'll do next; if nobody knows how to get the .ADFs working reliably.

on gamebase Amiga there are working ADF

DamienD · 18 March 2018, 22:36

There is only one set avaliable; .ADFs and no .IPFs...

Of course Gamebase Amiga uses this as do I; that's not the topic of the thread.

There's something seriously messed up with this game...

Installed to my "Classic WB Lite 3.1" .HDF and works everytime... Used SnoopDos; nothing special needed.

Created a self-booting / bare bones .HDF; crashed 70% of the time

Installed standard WB 3.1 and then the game; crashed 70% of the time

...can't figure this one out

Are you having an issue with a HD installed version or loading from disk?

I tried with the GBAmiga disk version and it works fine. Tried multiple times and always made it to the title screen without issue. Went in-game and that worked too.

A1200 Basic non-expanded configuration quickstart with compatibility slider set to 2. Tried with 1 and 2 drives and both times it worked.

As above in my opening post, there is only one set available...

Maybe that's my issue with the .ADFs i.e. too many drives enabled

...but doesn't explain why the various HD installs I've done fail.

DamienD · 19 March 2018, 22:29

Various Quickstart settings are the first thing I tried after having issues...

Still happens here even after following what you've suggested

Not disputing there's only one set. Just wanted to make it clear that's what I was using

Just installed a clean Workbench 3.1 HD and installed the game from the same disks. Same config as before, except 4 drives this time. Works fine.

DamienD · 19 March 2018, 22:33

What the???

...trust me; as per posts in this thread I've exhausted a lot of different options / settings.

Please post your magical .UAE file and I'll try to work out what's different (as I've tried everything for the past 2 hours and also followed your suggestions but still crashing)

AmigaBoy · 19 March 2018, 22:37

Nothing special about it, but here it is.

DamienD · 19 March 2018, 22:46

Thanks man, appreciated

...but still get this most times as per usual:

AmigaBoy · 19 March 2018, 22:51

Maybe I'm just really lucky? It's consistently worked fine for me. Tried at least 5 times now.

DamienD · 19 March 2018, 23:26

I've tried over a 100 times now; .ADFs and the HD install on various scenarios...

I honestly don't know. It works here without any issues. I haven't done anything special. WinUAE portable install. Quickstart A1200. 1 or 2 drives.

DamienD · 19 March 2018, 23:35

...and trust me I tried that; plus many other settings / options before even creating the thread

Thing is, we are both using WinUAE 3.6.1; registry vs. portable makes zero difference.

Yep. I know you know your stuff which is why I'm stumped as to why it works for me and not for you.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with a magical answer.

Where's ross when I need him

...to me it's not a WinUAE bug; given Toni's 2 x decades of moving forward; emulation is 99% perfect

No, I think it's an issue with the files in some respect; which I'm sure an experienced coder can identify quickly.

Bad crack maybe ? I have uncracked version if you want (has manual check, which i can't pass due manual lost somewhere).
