Graphics corruption

Minuous · 11 July 2005, 17:07

Some games such as Hybris, Lionheart and Leander (WHDLoad versions, haven't tried floppy versions) seem to now have graphics corruption under 1.0 and 0.92. At the time I originally tested them a while ago (with earlier UAE version) they were fine. :-( Something must have been broken. You can get those games from http://amiga.magix.name for compatibility testing...

does cycle-exact setting fix it?

More information please.. Does it work without JIT? What was the last working version?

Anyway, in my opinion it is basically (at least in theory) bug in whdload slave if game fails to work in "too fast" UAE mode (and if the disk version works fine)

btw1, are you sure you haven't updated your PC and now it is "too fast" for some games?

btw2, cycle-exact and 68020+? please, no.. (yes, it may help but see above)

The 040 mode in Winuae 1.0 does now break alot of whd games (previous version was mostly fine). 020 mode should fix you right up, and cycle-exact should keep the speed in check.

not every whd game works under uae though, there are odd ones like zool/premier that just through error messages around. (Fine on a real amiga 020&040)

CPU: 68020
Cycle exact CPU & blitter: Yes
JIT: Yes (default options)
Fastest possible, but maintain chipset timing

I will try floppy version, no JIT, A500 speed, older versions, etc. and report back.

Same problems under 0.8.26, with the WHDLoad versions. Oh well.

Floppy versions run fine.

I have gone through and fiddled with a number of parameters to get the games to work. There are a number of WHDload games that give that type of graphics problem. I am not sure what causes it, but I seem to find a way to correct it by changing a number of parameters in the WinUAE config. I can upload the config files for you to try if you wish. Just let me know of which game configs that you want.

I'm using WinUAE 0.92 and have found recently that the LEDs in full screen mode have moved up the screen,

When I press F12 to break out of the emulator the screen is split in such a way that the top inch of the picture which should appear at the top of the screen actually appears at the bottom. When my cursor disappears off the top of the screen it reappears at the bottom.

Why not using 1.0 instead?.
