Pinball Illusions AGA multiball sprite bug

[hexaae]

Pinball Illusions AGA (not Fantasies, sorry)

WinUAE 4.3.0b+ (and previous)
WinUAE cfg at the end of my signature
Screenmode in hi-res laced during the multiball

Hi, just noticed multiball is flawed, but since I don't have a real Amiga to test it I can't say if it's a WinUAE bug only. It happens with every table, WHDLoad or AmigaDOS versions...
When there are on-screen 2+ balls they start to disappear, overlap foreground sprites, show other gfx glitches, until you loose them and go back to 1 ball only on screen.

Cfg = QuickStart A1200 + Z2 Fast 8MB, from hastebin: https://hastebin.com/niqepodiqa.php

try to set cycle exact full (chipset menu)

Statefile fails for me (black screen) and

Hardfile '.\WinUAE files\winuae_hd1b.vhd' not found.
Hardfile '.\WinUAE files\winuae_hd0.vhd' not found.

Could you generate one for ADF version?

Don't use blurry jpegs for screenshots..

hello,

I've tried this savestate and the issue is a black hole under/around the ball and a little flickering in movement (above right flip). See image.

[ross]

So I'm curious because this savestate doesn't work for me. I simply launch winuae (last winuae.7z) and load the savestate (or I drag'n'drop it),
for a moment I see the game and then black screen ..

Hello,

I use WinUae 4.2.1 but you're right if you launch last WinUae.7z, a black screen appears with this savestate.

Tested with WinUae 4300beta5, Quickstart A1200 basic, CE=full,
Display = Remove interlace artifacts (enabled), Interlaced line mode (Double, fields).

PinballFantasiesIllusions(AGA): in game press F10 for interlace screen mode (F9 for back), with multiple balls = looks fine!

With CE=DMA/Memory mode only: there is some glitches with (multiple) balls.

I guess this is normal. (i.e. as expected)

EDIT: Tested with .adf version (not WHDLoad).

EDIT2: When "Subpixel display emulation = enabled", there is some sprite glitches showing on the right screen side. (only in F10 interlaced mode)

EDIT 3: Correction to Pinball Illusions. (not Fantasies)

Statefile works fine here with latest beta.

I recommend setting display panel interlace mode to fields+ to get less corrupt looking display due to interlace + vertical scrolling combination.

Thread title fixed

No way.

Official 4.3.0 beta5 (16/11) or alpha (20/11) same black screen (only once an HALT11, I do not know why..).
A few game frames, some glitches and then black.

What can i try?

Attached a log.

[Toni Wilen]

You did something before loading the statefile (loaded state when emulation was already running?). Don't do it. Your log has no uae boot rom so perhaps you manually disabled it?

Anyway, these kinds of statefiles (expansions/uae boot rom) can't be fully supported.

No, I start WinUAE and the first thing I do is load this statefile.

No, it's set to the default "Original UAE (FS+F0 ROM)"


There is something other I can do?

Open GUI, select state file, start emulation?
(also log is not complete)

Yes, exactly what I do.

New log file (official beta5).

I can't get any black screens. Does it work if you set quickstart A500 or A1200 model (remember to click set configuration button) before loading statefile?

I've checked "Start in Quickstart mode" and I had assumed that it was sufficient to guarantee all the appropriate settings at WinUAE startup.

Sorry, I can't understand which button "Set configuration" you're talking about.
The one at the bottom right in the "Configurations" panel called "Set"?

@ross

I succeeded with " New UAE 128k Indirect " + 8Mo Fast with winuae.7z.

Heya ross,

In the "Quickstart" section:
