Great Giana Sisters SE loading problem

project23 · 31 May 2019, 13:41

Am I losing my mind?

I'm trying to get Giana Sisters SE to run in winuae, but i'm having problems.

The intro disk runs fine, but when loading the game it seems to just 'hang' on the 'reimagine games' screen.

This is happening with either the HD install, run with whdload, or the adf versions.

I've tried my usual 030 setup (mirroring my actual A500 TF530 setup), as well as stock 500+, stock 1200, and a few different roms.

Am i missing something? lol...

Cheers,

John

Well weirdly it works on the actual amiga!

With the TF530 too!

Strange, as the setup is practically mimicked in winuae... even the same rom.

Oh well!

My car just spat its hydraulic fluid all over the road, in the middle of nowhere, so after getting a lift home this is a fun little distraction!

Have you got "cycle exact" ticked under chipset submenu?

Dude, you'll have to forgive my idiocy... hah...

I wasn't paying attention when setting up winuae, and added the joystick emulation to the parallel port, not the game port 2.

It seems the game *only* responds to the fire button being pressed on the joystick to get passed that reimagined games screen - so i just wasn't pressing 'fire'.

Cheers anyway,

John
