What's wrong with the Overdose WHDLoad patch?

Nothing but the Demo crashed at a certain point. :banghead around the 3:35 - 3:45 Timeframe.

(tested only on my A600 Furia V2 and i think in WinUAE too - its been a while,sorry)

BUT, it was NOT the fault of the WHDload slave, but with the demo in general. :bash
It did not matter if played with or without WHDLoad. Always the same result. (pretty much around 3:35-3:45 Black Screen & Freeze with a Coldboot necessary) :banghead

You have to ask Ross for the details. He fixed it :bowdown but it dosent work with the WHDload Slave. It would be necessary to make a new Slave for the Ross Fixed version,
but you also have tons of work already and i/we didnt want to bother you with even more. ( still waiting for that sweet,sweet OCS fixed Second Samurai Slave :spin )

Take care of you. :great

You could and should have created a bug report on the Mantis tracker as I can't fix anything I don't know about.

I will fix this in the original demo, i.e. I will not make a new slave.

I had a look at the code and found quite a few blitter related bugs that can cause all sorts of weird crashes on fast machines. I will fix these and I'm sure the demo will work on your system then!

Hi StingRay :great

You see, i talked to Ross via PM and just mentioned that the Demo "Overdose by Delight" goes :banghead at a certain point .

The next thing i know is that i get a message from him :spin
"its fixed and in the Zone for you" :cool

That was incredible of him :bowdown

The Thing you said about the BlitterWaits is something that Ross also talked about; even self modifying code, if i remember correctly :confused

The thing about Mantis is that i did not want to bother you with even more work.
Youre doing already so much for the Community and the post above is just another prove of that. :great

mmh, i remember little of what I did and my repository is a mess :o.
Sure much on blitter code, some rewritten IRQ handler and synced parts, but no SMC..

[EDIT] found the original post with a small description of what i've done:

Sources at disposal, but i doubt StingRay need it :)

There is no SMC in the demo.

Well, don't be afraid to open a bug report there! :) See, I only saw this thread by coincidence and now know there is a problem with the demo on your machine. If you open the reports on Mantis I can easily check them and know there is something wrong.

As for the demo, I have updated the patch and added a lot of blitter waits. Try the attached slave, if it still crashes on your system I have some other stuff left I can and will fix in the demo.

No SMC in Overdose by Delight ? Good ! :great
( must have confused that with Batman Vuelve - :confused sorry )

The Slave dont work for me. (and i am super happy with the Ross version already)

Right after the Text "Well, lets begin the Show with - Tubular Trip" :banghead a Black Screen. A Coldboot is necessary.

There is something going on in this Demo. Like i said. Ross version works flawless but not with the slaves.

About the Mantis thing....
If i post about every Demo that have some weird bugs then get ready for alot of Posts :) and i am not sure if i want to do that, honestly.

But we will see ;)

Thank you StingRay.

Thanks

Dang, seems I lost the file.. Can somebody upload it one more time or share it any other way? Thanks a lot.

Here, for you and all the Sushi Boyz :spin

God bless you!
