Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and Interphase

[sean_sk]

About a year and a half ago I posted a Mantis bug report for both of these games but it seems no one has got around to them yet. Anyway I'll try here on the off chance they get looked at.

Running WB 3.1 on A600 with Vampire Gold 2.8.

The first issue concerns Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge. I have a retail copy as part of the Lotus Trilogy boxed set. Disk itself is in excellent condition, play well from floppy and has been verified with no errors.

Installed it with WHDLoad 18.3. When running get the following error:

Function 'resload_DiskLoad' called with unacceptable arguments A0 = $42790007
PC = $BDFD7F4 (Slave $2D4).

This problem also occurs on a vanilla A600. Have included a dump.



Next issue concerns Interphase.

There are two versions of this game, Retail and Amiga Format version.

Amiga Format version has had a long standing issue where the game freezes about a minute or two in-game and parts of the interface go red. This occurs on normal A600 or A1200.

Retail version runs fine on a normal A600 or A1200 and also ran well on my A600 with Vampire on GOLD 2.5 core. When upgrading to GOLD 2.7 then I got the following error:

Exception "CHK,CHK2 Instruction" ($2018) at $CCCCCE4 occured

Sometimes it would quit with:
Exception "Line 1111 Emulator" ($2C) at $CCCCCCE occured

Slave is very old for this game. I reported the issue to Gunnar but he's not sure why this is happening on the latest Vampire core. Maybe someone here might know. I have also included log.

Another game that stopped working with GOLD 2.7 was The Ultimate Ride with a similar issue. I've included the log for that in case there is a correlation.

If you have the time, thanks for having a look.
