Using my usual config which I had uploaded previously:
Wait till the end of the intro (after "The Duel" logo).
The sound hangs. Then Amiga seams to restart. Then you'll get the error in the screenshot attached (a Guru Meditation error).
As I mentioned before, it happens with all betas including Beta 7 and Beta 8.
Unofficial modified Beta 7 dated 2014.02.14 works fine.

Btw, Beta 8 update is really great.
Hope that WinUAE will be "Better than the Original" Amiga.

I still can't duplicate it (your config also has too much memory but that probably does not matter in this case). Attach your game adf image, there are too many variants.

Hi to every Amiga fan! and Mr. Toni especially! I'm new one so sorry for inconvenience (english language - its not my native one). I'm using WinUAE (and licensed Cloantos Amiga Forever '12) for some time and they're brilliant piece of emulation soft. Anyway I have a problem with using virtual hard disks (hdf), the ones i created earlier and with the new ones. I am booting a plain A1200 + 4MB Fast RAM config and reporting a forever hangs/freezes when inspecting a drawers. Everything was ok on v2.7.0 and early betas. Keep Up Good Work!

I am quite sure it has nothing to do with hdfs, at least not directly.

What kind of freeze? Emulated Amiga hangs (mouse won't move anymore and so on) or emulator also freezes?

Attach config and log. (= Paths panel, tick full logging option, start your config normally, boot, do whatever until it hangs, wait few seconds more, F12, Paths panel again, click Save All, attach or email the file, it contains config and logs)

Hello Toni. I recreated a problem and attached a log file. This is happening when i open drawers, the icons draws for some time and then it freezes, but the mouse is mooving (clock icon) and then i can't do anything (ie. open other drawers / execute anything). I can't install a fresh workbench from adfs on a new created hdf too...

I missed this. What was last working beta?

[Snake79]

Don't remember exactly but about the 2.7.1-4 was ok i think...

Here are my config and the zipped adf file.
EDIT: I think it has nothing to do with my config. I had the same problem with FS-UAE 2.4 with a standard Amiga 500 config (but with a different Guru Meditation error number).

Last confirmed working version is required information. Assumptions are not allowed!

I will download and check every beta at home (i'm at work now) and report back as soon as possible.

Your attached adf also has identical crash when booted on my real A500. Which means everything is perfectly fine

Thanks Toni for your effort. Sorry for inconvenience.

Can it be a filesystem problem? And when the files were transferred to a real Amiga, the same problem that made WinUAE did not read the files correctly made the copied files not correctly copied?

I ask that question because version 2014.02.14 dealt well with the adf.

More like it worked because emulation was not good enough in that version. It also crashes with 2.7.0. (Accurate emulation is not accurate if it runs programs without crashing that crashes on real hardware!)

Hello again. I checked every beta and as i assumed earlier hdf works ok from 2.7.1 to 2.7.4. A problem occured from 2.7.5 to the newest 2.7.8. From 2.7.6 i cant even boot to os (black screen). I have attached logs from every beta.

No problem. I just wanted to help making this wonderful emulator become as much accurate as real Amiga Thanks to You.
