Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True
As I keep all my WHDLoad packs in the same folder, I'm not 100% this came from KillerGorilla's packs. I'm referring to file DejaVuANightmareComesTrue_v1.0_1832.zip
This is not technically a problem with the file, as it works fine in WinUAE (where I have installed an exact clone of my Amiga). For some reason though, when I try to run the file in my real Amiga I get the following message: Exception "Illegal Instruction" ($10) at $1C8B6 (Task 'Initial CLI') occured. Does anyone know what this error message means and how I get around it? |

I have no clue why you got this error, but i can confirm that KG's pack version works flawless here. Do you have a 040/060 CPU?

Nope, standard 68020 with 10MB RAM.

Have you tried the usual tooltypes such as Nocache and the like?

Have you tried to unpack KG's zip directly on your Amiga?
Edit: Or maybe troubles with your memory expansion? Which one is it? Do you a PCMCIA adapater with CF card in use? Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 23 May 2008 at 21:50. |

I unzipped the file in my Amiga. I've tried Nocache, disabling preloading, I don't have a PCMCIA adaptor, I have a SUBWAY which I disabled before running.

Could you try the NoMemReverse option? I had a lot of troubles with my M-Tec 1230/8MB. But NMR fixes them all.
Open the whdload.prefs in s: and remove the ";" at NoMemReverse. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 24 May 2008 at 00:11. |

Have you sent a bug report to Psygore, the author of the whdload fix (www.whdload.de)?
Also: Does the whdload fix of Shadowgate work on your system? |

Are you using the most up-to-date version of WHDLoad? I ask this as I noticed someone else solved a problem they had by downloading the newest version.

Thank you for the continuing attempts to help, guys.
1) I'm using the latest (registered) WHDLoad version. 2) Without the extra RAM, it says it needs the extra RAM. 3) Shadowgate works fine. I don't know if I should bother the author, after all the game works under WinUAE so there is nothing wrong with the files. I'm guessing this mystery will remain unresolved. |

Just if someone else gets the same problem: I got precise the same error when trying Deja Vu from KillerGorillas pack on both my 030 and 060 based A1200. Contacted Psygore, but it worked fine for him (Sorry for the extra work Psygore) Luckily i had a broken original disk of the game with some files readable, and compared files with that. My install was missing the file named "resources" from the root folder, and so, when copying this over, the game ran fine. Heres my theory: I guess something went wrong down the line when unpacking killergorillas archive on a different os than Amiga. I did before i moved them the first time. The DejaVu folder has filecharacters/encoding that makes it strange to unpack on other os (The exec shows as "D?j? Vu" in my Ubuntu install for example, and it tells me the folder is corrupted). Works fine on my Amiga though. It should be unpacked on an amiga i think, otherwise there maybe some issues this.. that would explain why it worked fine in winuae - if you unpacked it from in WinUae, but outside of it when you moved the folder to Amiga. Or maybe it's even different versions of zip unpackers that handles the characters differently, not really an os-issue then. I dunno. Well, it's an theory at least. And the installer initself works fine anyhow, when it has the right files. Oh, and I guess you have beaten it by now Last edited by ascp; 02 September 2012 at 18:59. |
