Winuae Help - Red Screen???

nzgirl · 13 October 2008, 11:29

Hey guys,

I'm quite a noob with pc stuff, have got Winuae and am trying to play Rainbow Islands, I've found when I save and go back I get a red screen - have tried dif versions from planet emu and still happens

W4r3DeV1L · 13 October 2008, 12:39

Try with Kickstart 1.3

DH · 13 October 2008, 12:49

Best to use the Quickstart option using the A500 & 1.3 ROM, OCS, 512KB chip + 512KB Slow RAM (most common) configuration as dannypet has mentioned

this is quite on old game and with this config shouldn't be a problem

Welcome to EAB

Hi nzgirl,

welcome to the EAB

Do you mean 'Save state...' with 'when I save'? So the game works fine before, but once you return after making a savestate the screen stays red?

nzgirl · 13 October 2008, 13:58

Thanks for the reply's

Dannypet - I'm using 1.3 :S
Demonhellraiser - thanks

umm yeah ya lost me at configure...
Thecyberdruid - It will happen and if I get back to the same point using save state it happens again.

Could all be my configuration, I have no idea what the options mean. Followed instructions to set it up first time...

Like I said not very emu orientated!

Have a look at the attached picture. Just select you disk your disk and press 'Start'. Hopefully that works

Welcome to EAB

Ok did quickstart, 1.3 Rom, changed it to OCS, couldn't find 523kb chip, ram changed and got red screen...

Man I'm a noob

-- but damn Rainbow Islands is addictive!!!

Was up to Island 4 with all the jewels in order. (Bless savestates!!!)

Well done TCD, I was already there but had to install my capture program, so I was too slow.

TCD · 13 October 2008, 14:09

Enable the 'Start in quickstart mode' checkbox and don't click on any other window for now

Believe me it's the best way until you know what the other things are all about...
Which version do you use and when does the error happen? If it's right at the start I can test it here

@DH
I always use 'Alt + Print Screen' and Paint

nzgirl · 13 October 2008, 14:09

Ok can try the quickstart way - my configs were set to that - but the red screen is in a save state, so do I just go quickstart insert disc and try again? (Red screen was at stage 16 lol) Can I open a state that way?

Yeah I had trouble with the screen going small and changed display to hires / double and it fixed it.. Version of Winuae? where do I find that out? Sorry guys!

No, then your savestate is broken

If you have no older savestate I think you have to play it again. Always use at least two savestates from now on

nzgirl · 13 October 2008, 14:14

Yeah I saved at a few dif points before that due to this happening.

I think I broke my Emu

All the different savestates give you the red screen? That's strange. However I don't think you have broken your emu

nzgirl · 13 October 2008, 14:19

1.5.2

Retro-Nerd · 13 October 2008, 14:26

@nzgirl

Just uploaded the Gremlin cracked version into the Zone. Can you try this one with your save states?

Toni Wilen · 13 October 2008, 14:28

Upload non-working statefile to the zone. (or email it or whatever)

nzgirl · 13 October 2008, 14:33

Hey sorry was just double checking yep old savestate got same red error.

Oh man I'm so lost - 'The Zone' ?
