Bard's Tale WHD - winuae bug or slave problem?
Having a problem with Bards Tale WHD.. it is quite similar to the issue I'm having with Rogue in another thread.
Everything is working fine until the game write's to HD (ie save a character). After this, mouse button input exhibits a stuck/endless loop behavior.. (Same with Rogue, problems arise after saving/loading). It is very easy to reproduce; - load the game - create and save a character - again try to click "create a member", menu will not stay unless button is held down . - "add a member" menu flickers as if previous selection is on endless loop.. Could somebody test this under winuae to confirm the issue? I don't want to waste Sting's time with a bug report if it is emulator error. |

Found another problem: All characters are starting with zero gold.. meaning it's impossible to progress anywhere in the game
I shall submit bug report |

Given how reliable emulation usually is though it seems safe to assume this is not emulator related. |

Just checked this out very quickly (didn't have a lot of time). Couple of things:
- using my standard Winuae A1200 config I could reproduce the issues - without JIT and with DMA Cycle Exact there were less issues - Note that you can use the keyboard in the main menu. (A)dd member (C)reate member (R)emove member Using f.e. the "C" and "A" keys to create or add a character everything worked. Just tried it also on an A600. The save routine after creating a character also blanks the screen for 2x2 seconds, so that seems normal. The rest nearly the same. Does it work for you this way? Quote:
- the few characters that come with the game don't have gold but have some equipment - characters that you create dont have equipment but have little gold and IIRC when you win your first fights you earn some gold so that's the way to go?! |

ok you're ready for http://mantis.whdload.de now
I'm going to forget this thread and this will be buried... Better bury it in mantis where it will resurface or be processed in the next weeks. Last edited by jotd; 22 June 2020 at 09:40. |
