Lotus Trilogy
Hi Everyone;
I recently downloaded the "Lotus Trilogy" iso from Back2Roots.org but unfortunately when you try to play Lotus Turbo Challenge 3 it comes up with a "Fatal Checksum Error". I suspect that it is a faulty iso as I burnt it to disk and tried it on both a real Amiga CD32 and the WinUAE emulator. I even ran the iso through Daemon Tools and it does the same thing. The thing with this iso is that it has been tampered with: i.e the audio tracks have been converted to mp3 in order to decrease the size of the download. I was hoping that someone might be able to provide me with a proper FULL iso image from the original disc. If anyone does havre one could they please reply to this post. Thanx Heaps Moff |

Yes I did convert all the mp3's to waves and I adjusted the cue file accordingly, and that part of it worked fine. Its just that confounded Fatal Error message that bothers me.

Lotus III still crashes with a "Fatal Checksum Error". But i don't know if the Tosec ISO+WAV dump or WinUAE causes the trouble.

For microcosm ihad this problem too, but with lotus trilogy it's more difficult i tried with pratically all settings but i don't try for a long time now.
i tried again afternoon with a new version no more results but if someone can do it i just want to know, but i doubt. But without asking I have no chance to know. very hard problem nobody give a clue i think, however i searched everywhere on the net. Thank for giving a help. If there is someone how can confirm that there the same problem with the original |

I have been debugging this today.. For some reason wrong sector is read few times (which results in wrong checksum) when reading "second disk"
First "disk" is always correct. One possibility is loader timing bug, loader sends bogus CD commands very regularly when JIT is enabled and only few without JIT. (this game uses custom loader, instead of standard extended rom driver) |

I tried but I lost interest quickly.. CD32's drive controller is so weird, it has nothing in common with CDTV or SCSI which makes understanding it very difficult. (it has weird read-write 16-bit "sector bit mask" register which is really confusing feature)
Also (IMHO of course) working CD32 Lotus 3 is not worth the trouble. Lotus 3 was huge disappoinment ("track editor" is useless, serial link disappeared, slower than Lotus 2 etc..) Find another non-working game that needs same fix and I'll think about it again |

I remember getting this error message when playing with caches enabled on my A4000. Disabling them made the game run. Also never had problems running LotusTrilogy (including Lotus3) in WinUAE. I have to add though that it's just a rip without audio tracks.
