Help with WHDLoad - Highway Hawks
Hey there community,
I am Chris, a real collector of Amiga Games. I have about 2.500 here and installed them all on whdload what causes some nice bugs that followed on whd-report page. One bug seems to be really tricky cause the programer gave up. It's the game "Highway Hawks". The programer told may that I simply have to accept that it won't work. My system is a A4000 - 040. The funny fact, the game was a little instable at first, then the programmer changed the code and now I have much more problems then before. My hope now is you, may someone can take a look on it. The bugnumber is: 0004440 Have many thanks for reading this and may helpin' me. Best regards, Chris |

Thanks for testing these games and reporting all the bugs! I won't be fixing it but I appreciate your efforts.

In mantis it looks like lots of competent people have already looked at it over time.. Probably need to chalk this one up as too many games and too few developers.

problem is: it's impossible to reproduce OP issue with only WinUAE. It's probably a very sneaky timing problem that only happens on Christoph 040 board...
Same issue when people report bugs on MBX1230 or PiStorm. If I can't reproduce it on WinUAE or on my 060 or find anything with SNOOPxxx options I'm stuck. |

The title happens to be one of my 'pet' test subjects wrt amiberry, because 1. the whdload version does exactly what the OP describes in amiberry/whd-booter emulation, and 2. the .adf version of this title does exactly the same sort of thing in amiberry using the builtin default Quickstart profile (A500/ECS/512chip&512ram/KS-1.3 rom).
In fact, the -only- way I can get this to run in amiberry, is using a machine profile of A500/OCS/512chip & KS-1.2 rom (and no other drives) ...then it works quite well in emulation. If you have expansion ram it goes to pot as well even with this (working) profile. Just thought I'd make these observations in case such might be useful =) Last edited by giantclam; Today at 06:41. |

Oh oh that doesn't sound very good. So I guess it will never be fixed.

I notice on the mantis ticket #0004440 that jotd provided another slave, which by the looks of it nobody bothered to try.... ....I just did that (amiberry + CWB & P96) and although there's no title splash screen, and the loading animation doesn't play (might be an RTG thing), the game does run without graphical hiccups with that revised slave. I would suggest you try jotd's revised slave =) |
