I just finished Darkseed ( the Floppy version ) !!!
Its flawless, BUT there is one spot in the game that "CAN" corrupt in the copperlist/blitterwait stuff. Just use my Save game called TEST2. Use the Condom ( sorry, but it looks like a unused Condome ) to become invisible. Go into that door and turn on the "machine". Talk to the lady. Leave the room. I think its the combo of the moving sprite that "blinks" and the "cutscene" that causes those problems. Like i said, "That Spot CAN LEAD TO Problems" .... just play a few minutes more to see it randomly. BUT, it dosent have to happend. So, thats a tricky part. Something can go wrong in that spot, but it could also be fine. Hmmmm. So, i want to play the game from Start to Finish without ever using the Save option. Then i have to finish it a few times just to be sure. The CD32 Version has still the same problem. CRASH via Whdload or Corruption via DOs after the "Baby sequence". But to be honest, i dont care for the Cd32 version. It pretty much trash. The Amiga OCS Floppy version was so good as it could be in 1992 but the CD32 version 1994 was nothing special !!!! CD32 is missing the higher resolution. (the just turned off interlace and got a different Font, THATS ALL, and i remember Giger talking especially about the higher resolution , HE WANTED THAT !!!) CD32 is missing the Mouse Support !!! in an POINT AND CHLICK ADVENTURE ?? WTF !! Nothing was done for the CD32. They just put the OCS version on a disc and add the HORRIBLE SPEECH from the PC CD-Rom version. It did not use AGA at all or the 256color version from the PC version) And to hear Mike dawsons Thing pattern every screen..... always the same.... AWEFUL. Sorry but the CD32 version is trash anyway Floppy version all the way Looking forward to a WHDLOAD fix for it. Maybe something can be done about the Sound/Musik, that has sometimes little problems. Anyway. I try to finish the game a few times witout ANY save (and even try other languages) Wish me luck. I report back, later Last edited by Nibbler; 24 May 2017 at 15:35. Reason: adding savegame |

Nah, you couldn't do a interlace CD32 version back then. Everbody would have complained about the flickering. Mouse controls would be nice, but it's the only version i would play on real hardware. I still need my eyes for the next years.

@Akira. Huge? My sony wega trinitron is not bigger than an original commodore monitor. But thanks @Ross. I just finished the real german and i have to say that the graphics corruption is random. Played the English version again, same results. Random graphics corruption. Even the title screen got corruption right after booting DS in WHDload. RANDOM is the word here. So strange. But i know that even some DoSBox version crapped out right before the baby scene. Maybe it was abug feast already Dont know for sure..

Tested on WinUAE->Quickstart->CD32 (i've to take away possible whdload overpatch). Going after "Baby sequence", at Day2. But like i've said i'm not a player of this game (maybe after all the patch). Cheers, ross [EDIT: and some volunteer can test CD32 version (real machine or quickstart in WinUAE) ] Last edited by ross; 24 May 2017 at 20:08. |

Sorry for the wrong savegame. I did not exit whdload, so it was not actually written to the"Disc" , silly me. I test it on an amiga 600 furia. There are Graphics glitches sometimes. It can happen anytime. My maxtranfer is alright. Played and copyed full 600mb cdxl videos, so no problem there. I have to borrow a "Smart phone" to get some photos of those glitches. Music has problems too.... A bug hunt indeed

Whdload or Dos? I use Whdload,because via normal Dos the Interlace wont work in Whdload the glitches are random. Very odd.

All my tests is without WHDLoad (both floppy and CD32).
For the interlace you need KS <=2.05. Cheers, ross |

Another Day, another Darkseed Playthrough
I had only one graphics glitch (delberts Dog ), that was all. NOW, i think i know the Root of those sound/graphics corruptions. 24bit DMA Memory !!!!! (or is it 32 bit?) (If i remember correctly, Darkseed had sound issues back then with my Blizzard Cards) Anyway. The Thing is. The FURIA hast super fast Mem and Darkseed dosent like that. If i use the option ExpLocal in WHDLOAD the games music is 100% spot on, BUT the game is really slow then. But i would bet my balls that the Memory stuff is the root for the sound/graphics corruption. On another note. I use the NTSC ToolType With Darkseed. Otherwise the music plays to fast.

Like i've guessed the problem is no more the patch but the machine config. I don't know the Furia accelerator but there is a Furiatune utility that can be useful. (i do not know if in your case it's the memory or the processor cache, so more tests) I can send you an ADF whit Furiatune and a Lacer so You can test the floppy version in your pumped A600 (KS>=3.0).

Thanks for the tests . (apologize to everyone else for this public beta writing...) Cheers, ross |

Boot from floppy. Do not change anything the first time: check glitch audio/video (and speed audio/video). If something goes wrong then use furiatune.. Bye! ross |

I turned off every Feature of Furia .. played 3x Darkseed from Start to finish, still minor graphic glitches.
NOW,i have to say that i use WHDLOAD and it maybe the slave that is buggy because Whdload ends with a error message "LINE 1010 Emulator" ( $28 ) at $97ADEA (Expmem $44DEA) when you FINISH the game or using the Quit Game option. That happends even with the ORIGINAL DS execute. But the orginal works with 16.9 WHDLOAD without this error. With the patch, every Whdload version brings up that error message when you finish the game OR want to exit the game via the in game option. Weird. So, TODAY, i test on another RIG !!!! On my CD32 Pro with 8 MB Fast-Ram. Then we see ....... I report back... later . Will be a busy day, today greetings, nibbler. PS:I try it via Normal Dos too, i hope this "lacer tool" thing gives me interlace on KS3.1 |
