Ok, thanks.
Probably some blitter waits are missing, I will update the slave, maybe next weekend.

thanks Ross , that would be much appreciated, i can still play the game for now, just looks a little weird

TjLaZer · 14 January 2020, 04:55

Just wanted to say, thanks for doing this fix! Great little game! (Sadly doesn't run on my NTSC A1000 though.) But it works great on my A500 NTSC in PAL mode! Nice little game!

Also wanted to mention that Google's amazing Chrome Web Browser for some reason is blocking the download of this game from the Zone. I had to download the WHDload version and use the Disk.1 file in it and renamed it to Ziriax.adf. Weird!

Which archive exactly, I'm guessing it's one of the last 2?

For some reason when using the "EAB File Server search", after clicking on any file that has a "%" messes up the link (same happens with files that have a #):

... /TheZone/files/_2018/Ziriax (1990)(Software Business)[cr ross][f AGA ross][t +6 ross].zip
... Ziriax (1990)(The Whiz Kidz)[cr ross][t +6 ross] [Ziriax 100% (Ultimate Edition)].zip
... Ziriax_ross [Ziriax 100% by Ross uploaded for xboxown].rar

Just browse to the location and download

Just a note on the WHDload install for Ziriax Ultimate Edition from Ross. Game has corrupt sprites when running on 4000/060. Same with the ADF.

Yes, missing blitter wait. I'm working on it

ross · 18 January 2020, 10:59

Into the Zone! the new slave, please test.

Thanks to the original slave creator, especially to StingRay for blitter wait positions

StingRay · 18 January 2020, 12:40

My pleasure.

Done, in the zone. Happens at the end of level 2.

Thanks.
Problem is an overflow missing check on a multi-indexed array in the original code.
Usually the array never ever fills.
Probably happens only on very very fast machines and when you are overpowered.

Unfortunately the array cannot be increased in size for too many reasons.
I'll try some countermeasures hoping not to create glitches.

With disabled cache(s) the game works properly?

ross · 19 January 2020, 17:26

Into the Zone the Ziriax slave v1.3_final.

I'm pretty confident that I've fixed the access fault reported by TjLaZer

I could not reproduce it with any 040/060 WinUAE configuration, but I simulated a smaller sized array to confirm the memory leak.

Enjoy.

TjLaZer · 20 January 2020, 05:31

Tested to the end today with no crash! Thanks Ross!

Another note of Ziriax:

" It would be interesting to see if we can find the original music and the correct sound player, to restore that too :-) "

The publisher in fact did a nasty thing to you. Other people than you were credits in the game manual.

i was astonished when i discovered this when i bought the game in original.

Replying to an old post by you Denis, I just had a look at my copy of Ziriax and, like you, I was quite astonished at how people who had nothing to do with the game were credited in the docs by the publisher. To satisfy my own curiosity, I thought I'd check to see if The Software Business had made a mistake and used credits from another game released by them.

My hunch was correct - the publisher screwed up and used credits from another of their game releases ---> Bomber Bob!

Lovely!! First, they don't pay the coders any royalties and then they snub them completely by crediting the game to a development team that had nothing to do with Ziriax!!!
