Another World WHD on Amiga 600HD and Minimig, black screen of death

Gaula92 · 04 February 2013, 16:19

Is this supposed to work (with additional memory) on a plain 68000-based Amiga?

This is what I've found:

-FS-UAE, latest stable version: Setting A600, plain 68000, 2MB ChipRAM, 1.8SlowRAM, KS 2.05 or KS 3.1 from a 68000 Amiga: The copy protection screen comes up and the game works fine!

-Real Amiga 600, 1MB ChipRAM, 1.5MB SlowRAM, KS 2.05: The game shows a black screen after preloading process is completed. It stays there forever.

-Minimig V1.1, plain 68000, 1MB ChipRAM, 1.5 SlowRAM, KS 2.05 or 3.1 from a 68000 Amiga: The game shows a black screen after preloading process is completed. It stays there forever.

So.. does this WHD game work? Have you tried in your A600/A500 HD Amigas?
Good thing is the game can be natively installed anyway without, but it has slight sound problems on the (legendary) intro.

I think the standard question is: did you use exact same hardfile in all tests and did you use IDE emulation in UAE?

Yes, I put "hard_drive_0_controller = ide0" in the config file as a custom option in the FS-LAUNCHER program, so I am using IDE.
HDF is the same in FS-UAE and on Minimig.
And I've tried with Minimig CPU set at stock 7Mhz. It's a real, physical 68000.
The A600 doesn't use an HDF, obviously.
