which version of fright night is 100% ?

[butfluffy]

i was looking to give this game a go because i loved the old movie but reading some threads here there seems to be issues with versions of the game.
i'm not looking for the whdload version, i'm looking to play from adf or extended adf.
from what i gather all cracked adf's are corrupt and the game is either not completable or the gfx are corrupt.
so i guess extended adf is the way to go. dlfsilver said his version was 100% so i tried this ex adf Fright Night (UK) 1(1988) [Original] (Microdeal - Michtron) (Amiga OCS 512kb) (ST MFM format).zip but i cant get it to work with winuae for some reason.
so i'm left with fright night - CRACKED - extended ADF!.rar and another extended adf version from the Sea7 uploads folder named frightnight.zip
both versions appear to be working but does anyone know which version is 100% completable?

[dlfrsilver]

do you use cycle exact when using the extended ADF coming from my original ?

Because the game works perfectly, even with the latest beta, so something is wrong in your configuration, or either your winuae version is too old.

My version is 100% completable (it installs perfectly under whdload, so the datas are not corrupted).

i don't know what i'm doing wrong with the Fright Night (UK) 1(1988) [Original] (Microdeal - Michtron) (Amiga OCS 512kb) (ST MFM format).zip extended adf file.
i have tried multiple configuration settings with cycle exact set to on and off. the disk starts loading and then there is a blue background with corrupt gfx flashing all over.
even though the other ex adf' appear to work i wanted to play through your version because as you say it's confirmed 100% completable.

@butfluffy

Where can I download the above file?

[butfluffy]

it's on the server /~Uploads/dlfrsilver/Fright Night (UK) 1(1988) [Original] (Microdeal - Michtron) (Amiga OCS 512kb) (ST MFM format).zip
just search fright night and you will see it.

Thanks.

I'm afraid butfluffy is correct. It doesn't boot in WinUAE 3.0 or the betas.

You get a square box with verticle red lines flashing on and off with other garble graphics in between flashes on my setup.

I also tried all default configs up to A1200. The A1200 config crashes.

EDIT: The Sea7 copy works O.K

[Supamax]

Did you test it in A500 config, or only in A1200 config?

I've tried them all, KS 1.2 to 2.05, they all show graphic glitches.

I even made an RP9 and tested it in AmigaForever, same result.

[butfluffy]

yeah the sea7 copy seems to work fine but is it 100% completable with no gfx corruption?
dlfrsilver stated that his file was 100% which is why i was hoping to play that version knowing that i would not get a broken game at some point.
i don't know why dlfrsilver's file is not working for us when he states that it works perfectly, at least i know it's now that it's not only me that can't get it to work, the file behaves the same for me as Arnie.

[dlfrsilver]

this game can't work under A1200. I think i'm gonna ask for Toni's Help, because the error is strange, i have the same problem under Toni's regular A500 configuration.

I have also zoned the extended ADF.

[Arnie]

So are you saying is that it works in WHDLoad but not from adf?

[dlfrsilver]

it was working under winuae a while ago in extended ADF. It doesn't work now, and i don't know why. That's why i PMed Toni.

[butfluffy]

i'm using a pre winuae 3 version. i'm on version 2.8.1 and it won't work so this extended adf has been broken in winuae for a while it seems.
so i'm still wondering if the sea 7 version is corrupt in anyway because it looks like i will have to use this version at least until dlfrsilver's ex adf is ever working again.

[Arnie]

I managed to survive 3 days and I saw no glitches.

I just tried a few old WinUAE Installs on a XP laptop. I started with 0.824 and worked my way up the list with 1.31, 1.40, 1.50, 1.60, 1.72, 2.0, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8 and all of them showed the same graphics corruption. I'm guessing it may be the ext adf and not WinUAE. Maybe it's become corrupted somehow?

[butfluffy]

i read that one broken version of fright night wont let you progress past thursday which is day 4 so the sea7 version could still be bad
and yeah i tried dlfsilver's ex adf on winuaex for xbox cos i know thats a port of a old version of winuaex and it behaved exactly like the pc version with the corruption.
it does seem that maybe dlfsilver's good ex adf may have got corrupted somehow which is a shame as it's the only version confirmed 100%.

The VF Crack (bencor bros) with the +2 trainer by subway wont let you advance beyond day 4 as I just played it to test. I killed all enemies but it wouldnt trigger the end of the day when I went back to the casket. There are also minor graphic glitches with one of the female enemies getting corrupted when she throws something at you.

[butfluffy]

ok so thats the version with the 4 day bug. i'm stil wondering if the sea7 version is 100%
maybe i willl have to play it and hope for the best.

I can't see anything too obvious and all tracks loaded so far seems to use standard 4489 sync.

I saw that in a longplay on youtube, she has a block of garbled graphics around her.

I just used dlfrsilver's ext adf to Install to HD. Everything went fine until I tried to run the game. Then I got this message.
