Pinball Dreams: Ignition bug
When you reach Pluto, light the FUEL letters again and go up the launch ramp one more time the game crashes.
WHDLoad: Disk version: Can this be fixed without having the source code? Like resetting the "planets-counter" to 0 once it reaches 9 (similar to a crack trainer)? Last edited by john4p; 12 June 2021 at 08:49. |

John, according to the second and third manuals here, you are supposed to get a 'Double Score Bonus' when reaching Pluto. Do you remember if this happened? I have a feeling this feature in the game wasn't coded properly, I don't remember ever achieving this on any version I have played, even the original disks. I always thought this crash-bug was related to that.

Nice animation, but a bit quick. Can you open a bugreport on mantis. |

It doesn't make a lot of difference. Probably original game bug.

Interesting! Does this happen with the disk version on OCS as well, or only on AGA?
I remember back in the day I found a bug in Pinball Fantasies in the original disk version as well. If I achieved over 1 billion points on Partyland or so, it always crashed. I even sent my disks back to the publisher and got a different version in the mail, still the bug remained. |

I am tempted to run the floppy disk version and check but a lot of training before finding a bug .....

I'm tempted to hack the game so I don't have to play fairly do trigger a bug if there's one.

And there is also a thought with this facilitation in order to get to the given moment in the game.

I played this game a lot. I lighted "ignition" many times and never seen something like this.

Unfortunately nothing happened as you can see at 13:30 in this video: [ Show youtube player ] Then, when you go to the "next" planet (should probably be Mercury again), it crashes (at 16:10). Yeah I hoped they do something like that. Quote:

It's the WHDLoad version, but ran with 68000 CPU and KS 2.04 (wanted to still have cycle exact OCS emulation). Quote:
It's all about the FUEL letters. If you light them and go up the ramp you proceed to the next planet. When you do this 10 times the game crashes. Last edited by john4p; 28 June 2021 at 13:11. |

The IPFs are the main version. I guarantee it crashes (did it with cycle-exact emulation).
Your pic isn't proof. Can you make a video? Note that when you reach Pluto it does not crash. Only if you then light the FUEL letters again and go up the ramp for a 10th time. Here's the video for the disk version: [ Show youtube player ] At 15:35 I reach Pluto. At 17:50 I go up the ramp after having lit the FUEL letters again and the crash occurs.

Here is now a savestate of the WHDLoad version.
You just need to hit the ramp once and the crash will happen. |

If someone is going to have a look at this, maybe at the same time they could fix the order of the planets? Venus is apparently further from the Sun than Earth

OK, I will try to record such a game in the parameters you describe and catch this error.
