Alien Breed : TA (CD32) stuck in boot?
Hi all,
Could someone test the CD32 version of Alien Breed : Tower Assault with the latest version of FS-UAE. When I try to launch it I get the usual boot screen followed by the screen going black for a while. At this point I would expect the game to start loading but instead the screen goes grey and starts the boot process all over again. This repeats indefinitely. I swear I have had it working in the past (quite a way in the past) so I am just trying to rule the emulator out first before I mess with my config. Thanks. |

Hmm... I get a reboot loop here too (using 2.5.6dev, please state what version you were using!). Increasing chip memory to 4MB gets it a bit further - to the game selection screen - but starting Tower Assault fails with several "not enough memory available errors".
If someone could test with the latest WinUAE 2.8.2beta, that would be great too! |

Good to know I wasn't doing anything wrong.
At the time of testing I was using version 2.5.5dev. Sounds like a nasty memory leak somewhere along the lines. Thanks for testing. |

Forgot to mention that I am using Ubuntu 14.04.
Increasing the memory to 8MB allows the game to be played. (not tested long enough to see if it crashes over time) |

Insert CD only after CD32 boot screen appears. There are few games that don't work if booted with CD inserted.

 ). Note added to game database entry. OAGD.net / FS-UAE needs to support a delayed CD insert setting for games such as this.

So basiclly to fix this problem on the latest beta max out the RAM to play CD's?
Edit: I tried that on the AMIGA PD Compilation and have to call BS on that one it didn't work a dime getting a CD to work. I still get a looping bios on the ISO so I think it's got more to do with the ISO mode being broke in both WINUAE and FS-UAE in this revision. I can't downgrade to the last dev revision where it was working now as this new non CD working one took over the file download of it. lol. |
