WHD isntall problem

BippyM · 25 June 2008, 13:56

Hi guys I am writing a slave that uses the kick1.3 environment but I am having nothing but problems..

Stingray is helping out where he possibly can, but he is working so can only do so much!

Now all I am trying to do is install a single files amiga exe game, using loadseg etc.. now I can get it to compile but it complains that illegal arguments are pas to resload_LoadKick (d0=$40000, d1=$f9 (crc)) and other than that I dunno!

If I also enable HDINIT barfly asks me to insert volume sources: and requires the following

Code:

sources:whdload/kickfs.s

in kick13.s

now I have searched high and low for this file but cannot find it!

What is going on?

BippyM · 25 June 2008, 14:01

I have found the file, but cannot understand why kick13.s needs it and it is hardcoded for it?

ok this is causing nothing but headaches!

Girv sent me a modded kick13.s and kickfs.s which -should- solve that problem, providing I can get my includes tidied up! (i too had trouble with compiling dos slaves)

i'll send you them when home from work. havent had the chance to try the new includes i have, but if you manage to fix up a set for compiling dos slaves,i'll definately take them off you Bip!

Okay I managed to get it to compile and run, but see nothing so I guess the debugging starts

StingRay · 25 June 2008, 14:36

Good luck!

What was the problem btw? (curious to know ;D)

BippyM · 25 June 2008, 15:02

Got it working now completely

Need to slow it down tho.. runs far too quickly

Good luck! =)

Could you upload these to the zone?

BippyM · 25 June 2008, 15:28

right I disabled JIT and it runs at normal speed

So I guess i need to test this on real harwdware

Can those interested let me know please

StingRay · 25 June 2008, 15:32

I can test it on my A4k once I'm back home.

BippyM · 25 June 2008, 15:39

anyone wishing to test this

Croak Beta Slave

Hungry Horace · 25 June 2008, 18:59

sure, i'll give it a go on the a1200 after my dinner

you little git bippy... Croak was meant to be -our- project man!

Hungry Horace · 25 June 2008, 20:55

right Bip.... certainly compared with using the slave and -not- using the slave, the speed is certainly more accurate with it! (hooray!) and better than the generic slave i think KG tried before.

looking at the clock however, i suspect its -still- too fast, but i'll check that with my A500. i have the disk around somewhere!

StingRay · 25 June 2008, 23:37

Just tested it on my A4k and it's too fast

(I somehow expected that ;D)
Also, it crashed after I lost a life.

BippyM · 25 June 2008, 23:39

ca you try it without whdload pls

StingRay · 25 June 2008, 23:45

Without WHDLoad I get a "nice" screen containing of garbage and the frog sprite.

Will try again from shell now

Edit: ok, after booting without startup-sequence it worked but it's even faster

doesn't freeze when I lose a life though.

BippyM · 26 June 2008, 00:12

I managed to get the game to freeze on me without whdload when I completed a level. Game might be buggy itself

StingRay · 26 June 2008, 00:13

That might very well be possible.

Go fix 'em bugs. ;D

BippyM · 26 June 2008, 21:51

Added crc check of exe and data dir usage to shut Horace and his whining up

Hungry Horace · 26 June 2008, 22:57

LOL... gotta do things right bip

standards to keep an all... hehe
