Unable to run MYST properly...
Hi !
I tried many configurations of WINUAE (and FS-UAE) to run Myst. I just cannot make it run properly. I tried A1200, A4000, Virtually every RAM configuration, every type of installation (light, full...). What happens is always the same : everything runs fine until this moment : Ok so far... ...I'm getting closer... ...closer... ...I choose a date, push the button and... CRASH ! The background windows indicates files cannot be found, but they are on the disc ! See "MR_Planetmotors2.mov" in the "sound" directory ? Can anyone help me ? Is it a configuration problem ? What Am I doing wrong ? Maybe the game is just not working at all ! |

Where did you get the game from? I'll download it and try on my setup.

Perhaps the RTG version works better?
Just guessing, but might be worth a try. |

Have you patched upto the latest version? May or may not help. I did'nt have any issues when I played it, but I did copy every datafiles to the hd so the game never has to wait for the cd to spin up and seek.

Hmmm I assumed AmigaOmega (youtube video author) and Mad-Matt were the same person (same avatar icon).

@Marskilla
Have you tried copying all the files from the CD to the HD? Also you need to add an assign to the Myst.AGA file or your S:user-startup...... Assign MYST: (Path to your install) EDIT: I added a 68882 FPU with 'more compatible' ticked and no more crashing, it doesn't do anything else mind, but then I don't know how to play this game.

Although its unlikely to fix the crash, I would recommend using a screenmode such as dblpal hires no flicker instead of pal interlaced if playing the AGA version. The game will look nicer, especially the mouse pointer |

Resurrecting an old thread... even this might better relate to FS-UAE.
I am using FS-UAE (A4000, P96, lots of RAM) and I am having almost the same problem, but in a different place inside the game (and NOT where Marskilla had it!). Everytime I try to leave the powerhouse (where I can switch on/off generators), I got a "Program Failed (error #80000008)". The game seems to work otherwise, but this one place always crashes it. Marskilla: how did you did the 68882 FPU + 'more compatible' setting in FS-UAE? I tried it by putting in custom configurations "fpu_model = 68882" and "fpu_strict = true" but it had no affect in my case. I have patched the game, but not copied everything manually to the HDD. I just did the default install from the CD. Do I still need to do some manual assigns (as Arnie suggested above)? I am running the RTG version. Disk image from the Zone. One thing that I though *might* have something to do with the problem; I have installed the game into a drive that is actually a mounted folder from my Mac. Other than this, I am already loving the game |

The same crash actually happened to me on my 4000T as well (running OS 3.9, just as my FS-UAE install is).
I did some more testing in emulator, and I believe the crash is somehow related to the AHI settings. Trying different Paula modes I have been able to exit the powerhouse succesfully couple of times, but I am not sure what triggers the crash as it still seems to happen randomly. |
