Alien Breed 3D cd32couk - Crashes in WinUAE

More often than not, the cracked "Alien Breed 3D (2016-01-01)(Team 17)[f http://www.cd32.co.uk]" image crashes WinUAE.

Probably not WinUAE problem. The game works correctly, only needs more RAM. Try to add 2MB Z2 Fast (or more) for an example.

The emulated system crashing should not crash WinUAE itself unless JIT is enabled.

Changing the Chip RAM from 2MB --> 4MB,

just like you need to with Fightin' Spirit [CD32] fixed the issue.

Thanks guys.

Assuming config is quickstart CD32 (no floppy drives or anything else), this might be one of those weird CD32 games that require CD insert after CD32 boot screen appears (which strangely gives slightly more free ram than booting with CD inserted)

Yes, CD32 Quickstart was used.

Hi Toni,

You are correct as always

Inserting the disc after the "Amiga CD32" screen has appeared allows this game to work with the standard 2MB Chip RAM used in a CD32.

Also, adding ",delay" after the .cue file works too

Code:

cdimage0=.\Games\Alien Breed 3D CD32\Alien Breed 3D (2016-01-01)(Team 17)[f http://www.cd32.co.uk].cue,delay

Many thanks.
