Urgh. I added "path cleanup" code that removes possible double \\'s or //'s without testing if path started with \\..

So it's an easy fix then, Toni?

Yeah, this is normal brown paper bag bug

Beta 19:

- do not "fix" \\'s at start of path (b14)
- sound sync ignored recently emulated NTSC short/long line toggle
- less aggressive sound sync in non-vsync modes (not much point really)
- 68020 CE cycle counting rewritten (may not be better yet but easier to tweak in future)
- added support for single sided PC/Atari ST-style images
- added .st to disk image dialog extension list, .vhd to hardfile list
- onscreen leds show selected disk side
- onscreen led track number is dimmed when drive is empty
- always mount regular hardfiles, even if dostype is unknown or filesystem fails to load (unknown dostype = whole drive disappeared after reboot)
- add or create regular partition hardfile and size >=512M: generate more compatible default disk geometry (cylinders less than 65536)
- Action Replay statefile support should work again (again and again)
- AVIOutput: handle recording thread errors without freezing, record as 24-bit (instead of 32) if display is 32-bit
- fixed really stupid and old bug in blitter state restore
- added pause priorities (user pause > inactive > minimized), lower priority pause states can't unpause higher priority states

Does not appear to be problem in winuae, display driver/directdraw says "can't do and I don't even know whats wrong". (and I don't think this is beta specific..)

Is there anywhere I can download the source code of the 2.0 betas?

Yep, and that's why I removed the post

After some testing, I tracked down the problem to Forceware's "Hide modes that this monitor cannot support" which got checked somehow.

SFS HDF does not work (single-partition, not RDB).

I don't know how it's expected to work, but I am sure this is wrong.

Did this:

- Add Hardfile
- entered 100 MB, selected SFS, clicked on Create
- status line says "6400 cyls, 204800 blocks, 100.0MB/100.0MB SFS..... [5346530000000000]"
- Ok, Start

Now in 1.6.1 the HDF does not appear at all. Assign and Info don't show DH0.

In B19 an icon DH0:SFS appears which means it is mounted as DOS, not SFS (should be DH0:NDOS). Version DH0: shows the same, filesystem 40.1 instead of SmartFileSystem.

Also in 1.6.1 after creating a HDF, it is automatically put into the Path field, in B19 you have to select it manually.

This means it can't find filesystem driver, point filesys-path in hardfiles properties to sfs driver. (there is no RDB so it can't find it automatically, unless you have patched rom that includes sfs driver in filesys.resource)

(note that this is not really supported anymore feature, just use RDB)

As far as cycle-exact A500 emulation is concerned, everything has been very stable for a couple of betas now, except for the minor, untestable glitch in Rolling Ronny. I have run a billion demos, plenty of games and I have yet to witness something genuinely abnormal occur

So, is there something specific you would like to have thoroughly tested? just curious.

Just out of curiosity, what is the method to prepare a modified yet bootable rom?

msayed1977 · 03 November 2009, 21:42

in beta 19:
The title screen of "Kick Off 2", there is a black horizontal line that appears and disappears continuously (you can find it near the bottom).

Note:
I use "Double" Line Mode, and Horizontal & Vertical Centering.

Any demo. Lots of weird hardware banging + really easy to duplicate, usually no interactivity

Remus, see other threads for more information.

Include image checksum please (or upload it to the zone), there are too many Kick Off 2 "versions" floating around.

Here I have included my kick off 2 image.

I can't duplicate using any available A500 quickstart configuration.

I think you should read rules in first post first. (is this even beta specific?)
ADDED: above simply means: more information please or this gets ignored.

It is beta 19 specific (maybe beta 18 also).
I use DirectX 9.0c (August 2009)
I use Windows XP SP3 Pro
My VGA card is GeForce 8500 GT
