Z-Out small gfx corruption

Hiii, i just tried to transfer Z-Out. The adf are taken from the EAB file server, there are no CRC32 errors, i prefer to tell before someone asks.

Everything seems to work perfectly except one little thing : there is a gfx corruption in the level 5 during a few seconds at almost the beginning (all colours are totally wrongs). It lasts 5 seconds maximum, after all is ok again. So is this a wellknow bug of the SKR cracked versions ? Did anyone experience this ? I can upload a video if it helps.

For now, since all the ADF i transfered have the same problem, i choosed the most complete trained version.

Thanks for your help !

That is a problem of the original Z-Out itself, and has been fixed in the WHDLoad install.

I didnt want to start a new thread, so I will ask my Z-Out question here:

Any idea why Z-Out doesn't advance past loading the logo?

It displays the starfield (constantly moving) the Z-out and advantec logo and thats it, nothing else happens.

Using WHDLoad version with WinUAE.

It was working fine, not sure what has happened.

Thanks

EDIT: SOLVED!

If I use this WHDLoad.prefs, Z-Out will not start:

If I use this file, it works fine:

Not sure why that happens, but its working now.

Could someone confirm or explain this please?

Many thanks!

Thanks a lot for your answer Harry.

But i don't use WHDLoad at all so

I think it would be nice to have a 100% clean floppy version. For all users that don't use WHDLoad or those with a basic A500 or A1200 too. And because this game is wonderfull and deserves it.

So i ask the question, since this fix had already been done for the WHDLOAD version (i suppose it won't be difficult to do so) : can anyone fix the floppy versions ? A trained one , normal and "f AGA", would be wonderfull.

I am waiting for your answers.

Thanks a lot for your help !

P.S : i must say that i am very surprise that the game was released with a such bug ! How couldn't they see this really !?

Anyone interested about patching the disk version ??? No ?
