Full screen 'copper' flashing Jesus On-e' Demo only after v1.6+

03 August 2010, 21:20

Hi,
First off I wanna quickly say I love WinUAE and really appreciate the work/time you guys put into this project.

I want to report a bug that started I think during the 2.0 beta phase (sorry hard to be more specific). Essentially the demo Jesus On-E's (aga version) every 3-40secs or so the whole screen does what I can only describe as powerpacker decrunching coppers for like 1-2 frames maybe. I am pretty sure it didn't do it on the original A1200 (I used to have one aswell as the A500/A600). If you need more info lemmie know.
I used quick start A1200, best compat with 4mb fast.
I have tried various tweaks to the display options but to no avail.

Thanks, keep up the good work

Seems to be something to do with disk loading, it keeps retrying few times..

EDIT: does the same on 1.6.1 and 1.6.0 too.. You sure it ever worked?

Wow quick reply

Hmm well I was sure until you got me thinking, was always going to bug report it but just never got round to it. I'll double check myself. Maybe I am thinking of the none aga version, hmmmm.

Ok just DLed 153 -> 161 and all those versions dont have the copper bar flickering (for me).
1st flicker is about 20secs in during the 'loading'. You have the 'AGA' version of the ADFs? It's a demo (so legal) if you want the files?

They also have very very slow loading and retries (but probably not enough to trigger that error color effect). Just check on screen floppy leds

Haha. Not a bug. My real A1200 (with or without 68060) does EXACTLY same.. Huge amounts of read retries and background color flashes.

Old behavior was obviously an emulation bug
