Another Atari ST conversion?...............Recoil

[lesta_smsc]

@Galahad/FLT thanks for the tip. I never knew that was possible. Is that for any DOS games!?

Why is the glitch there if using cracktro?

This works for all DOS games.

The intro may set certain hardware registers to a state the game/loader doesn't like.

What he said

[lesta_smsc]

Great! Something I learnt lol.

Is there a Print Scr button on A600? Sorry off topic but one of the WHDLoad I have mentions this and I cant exit lol.

you can edit the quitkey tooltype for each game or the global one for all games in whdload.prefs in S:

No, its normally on the numpad which is obviously missing.

However, if you boot into Workbench, click on the particular game icon you want to edit (only click once to highlight it!), then goto the drop down menu at the top of Workbench (hold down Right mouse button to activate it), and goto INFORMATION, it will show you the icon information, and the Quit key should be listed.

Edit it to something else like F10 and then save, and thats the quit key changed.

But anymore problems like this, please open a separate thread.

Thank you for this. Yes my apologies for bumping the thread like that... I felt as though since we're on topic of key presses...

I have seen this issue a lot with downloading ADF files, sometimes they get corrupt. Download again and copy it to the USB stick and try again.

I have tried mutiple times. Someone else on a facebook group has exactly the same issue also.

I have copied the content of the adf to a workbench dir in my A1260 aos3.1.4 but I only get a black screen.
Tried without s-s with same result.

Set the ADF file to read only on the USB stick?

I've noticed you included the 1st release candidate of the tune, I sent you the final version which is optimized and has little changes. I'll attach it for you consideration, maybe you can fix it in a possible update.

Makes no difference unfortunately.

"finished: 02/13/2015" ... is that when you made it!?

Sounds great! I haven't heard the original but wondering whether the music samples were as the original?

I'm listening on Amiga MOD Player so not sure if it sounds any different than expected.

It seems to be very long unless it loops?

The mod actually contains two songs, the one that sounds in the menu and the other for the game over screen (from position 50). Both songs have a loop.

The original version uses the Atari YM chip (beeps and white noise). I relied on this to make the remix using new samples (ripped from KorgM01 rom and Casio4amiga library, among others).

I used 3 channels leaving 1 for some fx, but I guess the fast-as-hell bpm rate I usually need isn't friendly to use as in-game music (resource killer).

Right, so this is down to the cracktro, but i'm wondering if its the fault of the flash floppy software side of things, with something important in memory getting over written somehow.

Because of your excellent description of where and how it failed (track 54 side 1), and at that point in disk access, that is AmigaDOS loading up RECOIL.EXE, so no custom loading routines, this is AmigaDOS being affected from loading.

The connection is the cracktro either corrupting something in memory, or a condition in the cracktro causes the flash floppy software to fail, but i'm suspecting a memory issue, like the trackbuffer for flash floppy has been interfered with, or some code has been corrupted, hence why it thinks the disk has a read/write error, because obviously, it doesn't if the same file works in WinUAE.
