Possible problem running WHDLoad with(out) SetPatch

nexusle · 16 December 2012, 19:23

As discused problems with WHDLoad version for Worms on database, I post the screenshots here

Setpatch is version 40.16!

Are you sure SetPatch is run? The default Startup-Sequence runs SetPatch without quited, so you you see the output from SetPatch. See attached screenshot.

I'm not sure, but I have the command in the right path:

/Users/username/Documents/FS-UAE/WHDLoad/C

EDIT:

I have added QUIET for a few hours to the SetPatch line. I didn't know that it will obtain. :-O

Now I have removed the QUIET option, and it shows your screenshot, BUT with my error...

If you want, you can "TeamView" my Mac ;-)

Make sure you haven't got Documents/FS-UAE/WHDLoad/S/Startup-Sequence, as this will override the default startup sequence.

And also check that you run the *latest* version of FS-UAE Launcher (2.1.12)

In Documents/FS-UAE/WHDLoad/S/ only exists my WHDLoad.Key and I have the latest version of the Launcher...

Just a question: Do you use your own config, or my modified config?!

I reset memory options manually (in the Launcher) back to what they were, and it worked just fine. I also verified that I got the same error as you when I deleted SetPatch before starting with the same configuration.

nexusle · 16 December 2012, 21:07

Can you check, what "avail" outputs?!

Maybe a host problem?! I use a Mac...

FrodeSolheim · 17 December 2012, 23:14

Here's a version which logs some more: http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/devel/2.1.12u2/. Please start a WHDLoad game with this version, then shut down FS-UAE, exit FS-UAE Launcher, and then post the resulting Launcher.log.txt...

Hi Frode,

have tested with this version. Used the following parameters:

Game: Worms 2MB 0230 WHDLoad
Model: A600
Chip: 2MB
Fast: 8MB

I think, this was the default parameters...

In attachement you'll find the Logs

Have tested this now with my work notebook (Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit). Here I have a plain install of FS-UAE. Started the game with the same parameters as above but without SETPATCH.

The game starts without errors, so I think it's a host platform problem

nexusle · 18 December 2012, 15:40

I have gained some insights. The problem exists on Mac OS X and Windows. Once you put in ~ / Documents / FS UAE folder "WHDLoad" creates and stores anything here, it no longer works. For me there is "S / WHDLoad.key". Once I the folder "WHDLoad" delete or rename, it works again.

This should have been the food for thought, right?

Hi, I checked the log, and the interesting bit is this:

Code:

CHANGEHANDLER INIT
/var/folders/dl/c3l3hd212354ltbtszcj_8s40000gn/T/fs-uae-pFMlDb
Merging preserved changes in /Users/nexusle/Documents/FS-UAE/Save States/Worms (Amiga, WHDLoad, v1.0, 2MB, 0230) to /var/folders/dl/c3l3hd212354ltbtszcj_8s40000gn/T/fs-uae-pFMlDb
- updating file DH0/S/Startup-Sequence

This means that the Startup-Sequence file have been changed while running "the game", and that the changed file is saved in the state dir and restored every time you start this variant of Worms. This Startup-Sequence probably does not call SetPatch. The fix is to delete /Users/nexusle/Documents/FS-UAE/Save States/Worms (Amiga, WHDLoad, v1.0, 2MB, 0230)/DH0/S/Startup-Sequence and then try again.

(Hopefully, it is not a bug in FS-UAE Launcher, and you have actually modified this file yourself from inside the Amiga...)

Regarding your test on Windows, perhaps it just accidentally works if/because WHDLoad uses less memory when the key file is not found?

nexusle · 18 December 2012, 17:40

I deleted the C folder in Documents/FS-UAE/WHDLoad but it's irrelevant but SetPatch exists or not.

seems so...

As I said: I tested with the same parameters but not the sam files. On Windows I used a fresh downloaded WHDLoad version of Worms and a fresh install of FS-UAE. No files was copied from another machine but the Kick ROMS

nexusle · 18 December 2012, 17:45

BTW this is the content of Startup-Sequence in Save States:

Code:

IF EXISTS C:SetPatch
C:SetPatch
EndIF

cd Worms2MB
WHDLoad Worms2MB.Slave PRELOAD
uae-configuration SPC_QUIT 1
