What does HALT2 mean?

[mc68060]

I've ripped a game using my Kryoflux. All tracks were green but when I boot it using WinUAE I get a HALT2 message. Is that a WinUAE issue or could it also be some sort of copy protection kicking in?

is an issue with some config that run the game not like original computer. Exaclty i don't know what options cause that error.

[mc68060]

I've already tried to play with some options like cycle exact, wait for blitter, etc. but can't make it go away. It always comes up :/

HALT2 = double fault. Exception during exception processing. In case of A500 emulation (68000), most likely reason is odd supervisor stack pointer. EDIT: probably copy protection check failing and hanging the system.

Check the log for more details (address of fault)

Log shows this:

Ok, that's what I suspected. All DOS tracks 0 to 79 have been ripped correctly (checksum OK) but maybe tracks 80 and 81 have some copy protection that hasn't been ripped correctly.

That game have long track protection. Do you say to kryoflux to save as RAW or ADF image. Use CT Raw. Just don't use stream files because capsimg.dll can't use them.

[mc68060]

Yes, of course I use CT raw. But since the protection kicks in I assume some track hasn't been ripped correctly.

[Tomislav]

I suppose that you tried up to 81 track. Maybe to try up to 83 track, but less likely, because not all drives support more than 81 track.

So how can I properly rip the game with my Kryoflux? The copy protection track seems to be good because the game works on my A500. But when I rip the game as a CT raw file WinUAE fails with HALT2, presumably because the copy protection kicks in.
