Speed problem with generic slave

Retroplay · 08 March 2018, 14:54

Since no installer for Bone Cruncher is available I used the generic 1.3 slave.
The game starts but runs in turbo mode making it unplayable on anything else than A500/600 machines.
Is there a way to slow things down on faster Amigas using this slave ?
I've zoned the game if you want to try it out.

You can try ExpChip and/or NoCache. It might make the game run slower but best approach is a real fix of course.

Yeah I know, I've tried those tooltypes without any luck.
This game seems to be quite rare and next to impossible to find for sale anywhere in original form, so a real slave is highly unlikely to happen without a proper original.

I've only seen it for sale once a few years back on eBay where it went for approx 70 USD, I was bidding on the game back then (to dump with KryoFlux) and of course some jerk sniped me seconds before the auction ended.
Never seen it for sale since.

Also the only version without graphics corruption is the CCS version from Defjam compact #4, but that's singlefiled and only work on KS1.2.
BS1 and Lightforce cracks show garbled graphics in the cut scenes (when he's taking a bath).

Found something "interesting" on both BS1-TKT and Lightforce disks.

The "corrupted" images are indeed present on both versions, however the game just seems to load the wrong picture during the bathing cut scene.

It should switch between these two:
burg1-b

burg2-b

But it apparently loads bc-anfpic instead:

Now the question is, did the original have this issue as well and did CCS fix this in their KS1.2 only compacted release ?
As far as I can tell, both BS1-TKT & Lightforce release has identical game files.
Hmmm..

So what are the corrupt pics that are loaded? The title screen?

seems that a proper whd install is needed to slow the game down. I already done some slowdown stuff (One-on-one). Is this an original? crack? can you zone it?

There is no original available for this game else this problem would've been long fixed.
