You might want to try the game under whdload.

[turrican3]

perhaps you have not enough ram, try to launch it from a boot disk.
it needs 2 mega of free chip ram

[formater]

In WinUAE work with a A1200 configuration with 2MG Chip and 2MG Fast, but when I test the program this not work untill I updated at version 1.1

[hexaae]

You need 1.1 patch, but more important: the WHDLoad version because the original game has big memory hungry problems. WHD version works perfectly.

[Retroplay]

Do the WHDLoad version (installed from T-Zer0 CD) need any special settings in WinUAE ?
It just keep crashing at level 3 for me.
Is this an issue with WinUAE and does it work correct on real hardware.
I installed the game to a HDF just to make sure there where no filesystem issues.

Is there a cheat for level 3? I have on my hd, but i don't play this crap.

edit: Just found in the readme, will give it a try.

edit2: Yep, the T-Zer0 version crashes at the beginning of level 3 with an "Illegal Instruction" on my real A1200.

I only asked because I'm sure ScHlAuChi mentioned this some time ago at #recordedamigagames.
Thanks for testing it.

[killergorilla]

Yep, schlauchi mentioned it to me. He was trying to record it, I remember now.

Took me a while but I got there in the end.

Try my version, works just fine:

No link to commecial games please !


No need to configure anything.

Hi, where i can find all i need to run perfectly the game in the last version of Winuae.

I have the capital punishment 1.0 installed in hard file and updated manually to 1.1 but afher the code protection the game stop.

I set to 2mb chip and 2mb fast, 68020, kickstart 3.1 and workbench 3.0 installed.

I hope that i can find the WHD version o 1.1 version, can anyone tell me where i can find one of two versions?


Thanks

[formater]

try to execute from CLI with:execute CP (inside the instalation dir)

[Stoilov]

I got the WHD version and pathced it, it works. Thankyou at all.

Hi, i just installed Capital Punishment on a HD under WinUAE then do a boot disk with the installation program to see if the game can be loaded on a basic A1200 (mine is like that lol). Only 2 Mb of chip RAM so... But i can't launch the bootdisk under WinUAE. Can someone download the bootdisk i upload here and try it please ? Thanks a lot in advance !

P.S : Oh damned the ZIP file of the bootdisk is only 9 kb lol.

Oh i just read that under WinUAE a patch is required so is someone can say me if this game is running on a standard basic A1200 ? For now it is my configuration unfortunatly, and i wouldn't waste some time to transfer an unloadable game... Thanks a lot !

[Fiery Phoenix]

I know this game is supposed to suck, but I want to play it lol

So apologies on reviving an old thread. Tried and tried to get this to work but same problems (using WinUAE)

After many attempts I too get to the copy protection screen then just stays on a black page. I have installed from the HD .adf files on Planet Emu and also from the CD Aminet. No errors during installation, just when I double click and attempt to load it. Was not even getting to the copy protection page at first, but now it does after copying the patch files into the directory - but still no game loads.

Same problem with the boot disk that is made also (as above poster stated)

No joy with the WHDLoad either - which I can't understand why? I linked the Game File to the HD .adf's (unsure if correct?) and I entered the following into Gamebase GEMUS script fields:

cd=dh1:CapitalPunishmentHd;
whdload=CapitalPunishment.slave PRELOAD;
collision_level=playfields
cpu_speed=real
immediate_blits=false
cpu_compatible=false
cpu_cycle_exact=false
blitter_cycle_exact=false

However I then get a DOS Error 205 / object not found on locking data

I then unzipped the CP Upgrade and re-zipped the file and attempted the WHDLoad again and got further. This time options appear upon the WHD loading for German language, Parental Lock, Skip Intro, etc - this then proceeds to a red screen and stays there.

Feel sooooo close it's annoying. Gamebase GEMUS for this game states:

kickstart_rom=v3.1 A1200
nr_floppies=7 (stated 4 originally, amended to 7)
floppy0type=0
floppy1type=0
floppy2type=0
floppy3type=0
immediate_blits=true
ntsc=false
chipset=AGA
collision_level=playfields
fastmem_size=4
bogomem_size=0
chipmem_size=4
cpu_speed=max
finegrain_cpu_speed=max
cpu_type=68020
cpu_compatible=false
cpu_cycle_exact=false
blitter_cycle_exact=false
statefile=savestates\Capital Punishment (AGA).uss

Can anyone load up a.hdf file into the Zone or give me some pointers where I am going wrong - maybe really clear - that why I have put maybe a bit too information above so it may stand out where my error is

Many thanks

[Galahad/FLT]

Check out the zone, util I created for Earok which fixed Capital Punishment for one of his CD32 compilations.

File is called "CloseDelay(40)", run it before you start anything in the Capital Punishment directory (i.e. type closedelay(40) and then press return).

On CD32 there was an issue where the game was using AmigaDOS to load files, but was freezing the system after every single file load, which in some cases the system wasn't given enough time to close the last file operation properly.

My util puts in a delay so that the system gets enough time to close properly before Capital Punishment tries to freeze the sytem.

See if that works for you.

Cheers for the file buddy

A lot further (not using WHDLoad) but for the CD install - game does now load now (similar T2 like thump thump music at the start) warrior selection screen and starts - but sprites do not appear or briefly appear as glitched (no problem with the background / scrolling, just the sprites)

Maybe my settings / bad install - may re-install again

[Fiery Phoenix]

Re-intsalled and would not work - remembered to run the file CloseDelay(40) in again and all works fine now! No glitches

Many thanks pal

No worries, thought it would be the same problem but worse as the CD32 drive is slower than a Hard drive, so I pre-emptively extended the delay in the one I uploaded to $40 instead of the usual $20.

Glad it works for you

For me It doesn´t work with WinUAE, It´s the 7 disks AGA HD version, I used the patch 1.1 after the install, this patch makes reinstall It the game again, I do It but like another user said after the copy protection the game stops. It´s a pity, I uninstall It.
