Shaq-Fu (1994) Disk 5 not work!

[Arnie]

You do know that you need to press fire for revs and forward for movement at the same time?

As Retro-Nerd says, "It works in WinUAE"

Transmission is AUTO in this picture... cars not move only rotate! I go to PRACTICE and START... but if you look my picture you see that graphics is bad not correct... winuae work but not in Amiga 500.. and in my real AMIGA 500 i have same issue.. identical.
Only 1 of 20 attempt worked on winuae and it's strange

It doesn't matter if transmission is Auto, try pressing fire and forward at the same time.

Can you upload the config you are using? To do that load the adf(s) into WinUAE and save the config as Rally or something, then attach it to a post.

You should find the configs here, C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\WinUAE\Configurations

Guys, this game is very strange! I try it with winuae Amiga 600 and it works..switch to A500 with winuae and work... BUT if i close and open winuae and set A500 without load my configuration...not work (cars not move and wheels spin freely!!.. and is not issue of pressing fire and forward..when transmission is Auto cars go by pressing only fire!)

I believe that are problem with kickstart 1.3... it's possible to fix?
However in real my amiga not work (cars not move) while issue is in the game and not in winuae...

[Arnie]

Made in 1994 and ECS/AGA versions available leads me to believe that this game is most likely A500+ and above.

Even so, in WinUAE the cars move? So??? Try the WHDLoad version in WinUAE, at least that works O.K.

I don't have WHDLoad in WinUae but the issue is clear:

NOTE: Due to a bug in the original game causing an initialization problem with the POTGO registers, this game cannot work properly on Kickstart 1.3 machines!

POTGO rigisters are responsable of controller joystick...

Question is: It's fixable for work to kickstart 1.3? please help this game...

Here is something you could try for WinUAE. Set the port 2 to Joystick or anything else other than default.

Not the keyboard layout, the option underneath that. Change from default to joystick (as highlighted in the pic).

The fix for the A500 may take some time so try WinUAE for this game for now

Ok.. but for WinUAE the fix is setting A600 :-)

[Arnie]

Sorry, I must have missed that bit, I thought you had a problem with the car not moving.

[butfluffy]

decided to try the rally championships game to see ifthe issues were present here. i must be missing something siple guys cos when i try and enter my name i cant then move down to select game type or start. it's just stuck on the name entry.
anyone know what i need to press to start the game?

edit - i forgot to mention i'm using winuae and not real hardware.

[Arnie]

Go to the bottom right of the letters grid (return) and press fire. I need to press the down arrow as well or it goes back to the letter A.

In the zone is my attempt to fix "Sink or Swim".
I have no idea, if it works at all, needs play-testing!

@moderators: please rename thread, its not suitable anymore!
@jhonny82: you should edit first post, for example problem with Shaq Fu is solved meanwhile.

1) Shaq-Fu DISK.5
I would like to indicate that .ADF DISK 5 of all release (cr TRD and cr PNA) but not work correctly.
When you select the characters KAORI and insert disk 5 the games hang and crash.
Everyone can test it and help me to find correct disk 5 of Shaq-Fu that isn't corrupt?
Solved

So its unnecessary for new visitors to read the whole thread.

Sink or Swim works for me in WinUAE. No graphic glitches, I watched them drown a few times to confirm

Thank you for confirming.
To be 100% sure, its essential at least to finish this level and/or play even the whole game/each single level!
I am not coder/cracker to be sure for myself.

Some info:
I think "Lev4" on the "QTX" crack was the problem.
They have put original release on one disk, they ripped the files and Bytekiller packed them, so it fits on one disk.
But it seems they failed with file "LEV4".

Only to be sure, you selected the "enter" symbol with the fire button after you've entered your name?

You can select and start the game after you've entered the name. But the direction selection is a bit faster/more sensivitive in emulation as it seems. I had the same problems in WinUAE, but it works somehow. I should compare it on my real Amiga (WHDLoad).


edit:

AGA and ECS WHDLoad version are fine on real hardware and the name entry and game selection timing works as expected.

[butfluffy]

yeah it worked fine after pressing down and fire simultaneously on the enter symbol. kinda strange that you have to press down and fire at the same time, makes me think of the angry video game nerd aying "what were they thinking" lol.
played it n a1200 configuration and it worked ok.

nice work mai on sink or swim fix, i have not play tested it or anything but initial signs are positive.

Did you test the ECS version on an A500 or A1200?
