Game over issues (multiple games)
Did more slave updates and testing of my WHDLoad installs on both A500 with PiStorm and A1200 with Blizzard 1260.
It seems that especially games that got a trainer added were not fully tested, because a lot of them fail at the game over screen (which testers probably never saw due to using the trainer I guess). Examples so far: Z-Out: music goes completely nuts on the game over screen. Sadly, this can be fixed with "nocache", but seems unnecessary, as no other part of the game needs nocache. So you have to accept a performace hit only because the game over screen was not tested / fixed to work with cache. Risky Woods: game hangs on the game over screen. Not fixable by any tooltype. All you can do is quit WHDLoad. Wing Commander: hard crash when the dying sequence tries to play. Depending on tooltypes, either the whole Amiga will crash or WHDLoad reports a "Line 1010 Emulator ($28)" error. Happens with both English and German versions (German one installed from my original disks). I did all tests on a 060 A1200 @ 66 MHz as well, as it would be easy to blame the PiStorm. Results were the same. Only Risky Woods had an additional issue on the PiStorm: music and sfx won't play. The game just stays completely silent. Last edited by derSammler; 14 October 2023 at 09:21. |

Good finds! Just to make sure, have you checked if these issues have already been reported on the Mantis bugtracker?

Took the time yesterday to re-install Risky Woods from an original disk. For whatever reason, that solved all issues with that game - even the music is working now when running on Emu68.
