Cannon Fodder freezing in newer versions

LesterChaykin · 02 May 2010, 09:42

Hi out there!

I have a little issue with running Cannon Fodder in the later versions of UAE.
I have som adf's of the game which I played many times in the later versions (1.x) of UAE but now after installing 2.x, the game freezes after the the title screen with the Red Poppy appears. The tune just hangs and then the game restarts. - I tried several different adf's and it's the same with all of them.
I didn't try installing the older versions of UAE yet, but I know for sure that I had no problems playing the very same adf on the very same computer.

Hope you can help! I miss my Cannon Fodder dose!

Use 1M chip or enable cycle-exact mode.

Hi LesterChaykin and welcome to EAB

I am not familiar with the game (my beliefs are not really compatible with "war humor") but just completed one mission and entered the second one without a hitch. I used the cracked by Fairlight and trained by Paradox version.

Do you use the A500 QuickStart config ?

Please post your config file

i have launched it with no pb under winuae 2.1.0.

I already replied the exact reason. No 1M chip without cycle-exact: crashes due to game using stupid slow ram detection code. (always detects 1M chip)

Toni got it - just had to change to 1MB Ram

It's usually the first thing I try and change when a game isn't working, but not this time I guess!

Thanks for your help!
