English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Who's interested in patching Magnetic Scrolls Collection for Kick3.1+ compatibility?

Zoned a generic kick 1.3 WHDLoad install I made.
However a multitasking OS3.x+ friendly patched version (just the quit issue) would still be much cooler!

CRASH ISSUE
I just noticed the game is unstable: after you play some minutes with a game (e.g. Corruption) loading all UI elements (map, compass etc.) and you try to switch from one game to another, sometimes randomly the exe crashes back to CLI with a strange error "Wrong freer! party = 3 CurrentApplication = 0".
Tried also original IPFs and the same bug may randomly happen if you switch too much between the 3 games.
There's something buggy in the mem allocation of this game, to be patched by a proper WHDLoad slave supporting the "extended version" able to switch between games.
ATM, there are single installers for each game.
