You can download a pre-installed WHDLoad version from my website, but it might take some setting up on an emulator.

@knosstik - When you say it doesn't work, I'm betting that things freeze up while it looks like the program's decrunching? I had a problem like that when using the Sorcery+ image from planetemu.

The image is fine, it's your WinUAE settings it doesn't like - probably a dodgy crack or the guys who cracked it used a dodgy packer. Set everything in the emulator as far as possible to vanilla A500 - make sure you definitely set only 512Kb of chip RAM with no other RAM enabled.

Give that a whirl - it worked for me...

If the problems are due to a dodgy packer then the file could be grabbed after decrunching and made into a more compatible version

sorcery+ protection is very funny, the controls are fucked up if a copy is used lol ahahah what a bunch of joker.

I have this game in original btw

i use the regular whdload install on a regular 1200 downloaded from murakami web site if i remember correctly and each time i want to play it i must delete the hiscore1.dat and hiscore2.dat in the data folder...if not i get the flashing screen you were refering to...and each time it saves the highscore again and i have to delete the files manually again!

don't know if it's the image used by murakami or the slave that needs updating though..that's why i did not report the bug!

@pbareges: consider it reported

What image are you using, and also which slave version? And what exactly is the problem you're seeing?

hi there ! good to see such a good support

i uploaded my whole sorcery directory to the zone including faulty (i think) hiscore files in data folder...the thing is when i play for the first time after having deleted the files, when i lose for the first time it seems to save the hiscores (black screen, hd led lightening on/off)...after that if i exit and restart again without deleting hiscore1.dat and hiscore2.dat, the screen flashes with amigados background as most unpacking tools were doing at the time....

the slave is 1.0 and i got it from murakami.free.fr....

thanks again! hope you'll fix it quickly!

i must check with my original installed what happens.

No probs. I found the stupid bug in the high score setup code - the high score decryption was running wild and scrambling the game code

I've uploaded a fixed slave to the Zone now, give it a whirl and let me know how it goes

pbareges · 26 July 2007, 03:30

did a few start/exits without deleting the hiscore files and so far it works really great!!

thank you very much monsieur!
