Whoops sorry forgot to mention it. I don't have any default.uae in the configurations directory.

Ok, now do the the last paragraph of my last post for the full logs please.

So unless I'm wrong go back to what Toni said about booting winuae so you get the f12 menu, ticking the checkbox for logging in misc and then try loading the game until it stops for you and then go back into the F12 menu shut Winuae down and send those logs then.

I did do this for the log I uploaded before. I thought the same thing about it not mentioning which disks are being inserted, but after trying again it seems that changing discs just adds more of the "CPU tracer enabled" or "CPU tracer disabled" messages.

I have to apologise, I don't see it in my logs either, must be only recorded when there's a crash dump?

Toni, when did the logs start going to the users/Public area?

I've always seen them in the Winuae dir

Must have missed something (other than a brain)

It depends on configured Path "type". (It would be also bad idea to log in Program Files because it is usually read-only)

Macaw · 08 March 2012, 17:15

Were the logs I uploaded of any help?

dlfrsilver · 08 March 2012, 17:33

Just a little tought on flashing on cracked games with no disk indication to insert (it's not pratical at all).

Macaw · 08 March 2012, 18:03

Okay, I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS!!

Changing discs with the Quickstart tab makes the track go to 00. When putting in disk 2 the track is supposed to be on 10 and then it loads from there, but when using the Quickstart menu to change discs the track goes back down to 00 for some reason.

Using the 'Floppy Drives' tab to change discs though keeps the track at 10 so the game continues to load normally. I am guessing this is some weird bug with WINUAE? I have used the Quickstart menu to load discs for all the other games I've tried with no problems, I just randomly decided to try the other tab with Wrath of the Demon and... bingo.

Thanks everyone for the continued help throughout this thread.

Just tried it and can confirm. It doesn't matter if you eject the disk or not. Works both ways on the floppy drives panel and doesn't work on the quickstart one.

Toni Wilen · 08 March 2012, 19:21

Bleh, quickstart does image type/bootable check and I forgot to restore original track position. I guess most games recalibrate floppy drive rw-head position after disk swaps..

Well done Macaw, nice find of a bug mate...

Toni, you are slipping

Looks like this was introduced around 0.9.x versions.. I'd say I am not the only one who is/was slipping
