Imploder and 68060 (Ambermoon)

[alexh]

Some people have given feedback that the compression used on the executables of Ambermoon (Imploder) may have issues with 68060?

This is at the moment unconfirmed, does anyone have any experience with this? (Either Ambermoon on 060 or Imploder compressed files in general on 060)

FYI : Anyone having issues with Ambermoon on an 060 can simply unpack the main executables (AM2_CPU) with XFD

But we can't put uncompressed files back on the floppy disk for distribution.

I was wondering if anyone had any technical experience about Imploder and it's issues on 68060 CPUs?

If I can find some tine to install it and give it a try, I can report back. Is this just from installing via floppy?
Edit: is the issue that the game installs fine, but has to decompress files once you start? That is where it seems to freeze for me.

Specs: A4000D with Video Toaster, zz9000, Buddha IDE, BigRamPlus, video flyer, A3640 w/060 adapter. Amigatestkit reports the cpu as a Rev 1.

The main runtime executable when you're playing the game is packed and depacks into RAM as it is used.

I personally have never seen this so I'm not sure it is real but more than one person reported it just recently so I felt it was worth looking at.

I think I have some other issues as well, hopefully this weekend I will have time to swap CPUs as I think mine may be faulty somewhere (should have a full fpu, but gives me 8000 000B errors, and it was at one time in a CS Mk1 that melted (literally the RAM chips melted on it). I paid the chunk of change to get a Rev6 to replace the rev1.
