gfx glitches with some WHD games

[Retro-Nerd]

Addams Family:

I assume your are sticked with the 040 CPU, right? Use the a 020 CPU with my suggested settings and all is fine.

Or you could try Gamebase Amiga, which supports WHDLoad games now, without using the Amiga OS. So there is no need for JIT, RTG, FPU, Z3-Fastram etc.

adams family works fine for me with whd and 040 and no jit ( i have whd turn off the jit and renable when finished)

Mmh, sometimes it seems we aren't running the same program, Matt.

Disabling JIT didn't fix the graphic errors for me, strange that it works for you.


Edit: But a 020 without JIT is enough to run The Addams family glitch free, no luck with a 040 CPU.

Because nobody still hasn't replied OPs question (and it has been replied 10+ times already)..

1: real chip ram is relatively slow. this is not emulated in 68020+ modes.
2: 68020+ is emulated as fast as possible. nothing else.
3: 68020+ modes are meant to be fastest possible, 68000 is only about compatibility.
4: JIT is only about speed.
5: (someone may hate me but in my opinion it is whdload "bug" if it hates "too" fast blitter, cpu or chipram, too fast host cpu. of course it could be "real" bug too..)

Either you choose compatibility or speed. you can't have both.

(and this is why i don't care about whdload problems, especially if the game already works in original format with a500 configuration, also whdload adds yet another "layer" [which is AmigaOS] which makes debugging even more difficult.)

Yep, that's why i'm using a real amiga for playing WHDLoad games. But Gamebase Amiga is a really good alternative, if you want compatibility & convenience in emulation.

sorry i missed out immediate blit enabled too, thats the trick.

i have have it enabled by default as i havent seen bad things happen with it left on so kinda forget the importance of the option

so 040, immediate blit, nojit = adams family whd work glitch free ....for me

Yes, this works too.

Correct! Using no jit Gomez and all other sprites look OK!
What are the commands to use with uae-configuration ? nojit and jit?

Use this:

ExecuteStartup=uae-configuration cachesize 0
ExecuteCleanup=uae-configuration cachesize 8192

Thank you all guys!
Now I know how to set up WinUAE correctly to play all my beloved WHD collection. But where can I find the complete doc with all options for uae-configuration tool?

Uh, forgot to test Risky Woods that has no sound here...

[Retro-Nerd]

Check the your .uae config for the correct syntax. But replace all "=" with a space:


example:

Change:

cachesize=8192

to

cachesize 8192

For Risky Woods:

There is a version without sound, if i remember correctly.

It's ok using no jit.
