Problems running some WHDLoad games

[Basquemactee1]

As the title says, I´m having probs getting some running (eg F1GP etc). The game starts to load, then I´m just left with a hanging blank screen. I´m running either AmigaSYS4 or a WB3.1 hdf with 68020 plus 882 FPU, 2mb chip and 8mb or more of fast ram, anywhere between 0 - 256mb of Z3 Fast ram and whether I enable or disable JIT it doesn´t make any difference. Any ideas for a better setup? WinUAE version is 2.1.0

Thanks all!

Do you have a whdload key?

[Basquemactee1]

Yup, working fine. some games I can get running just by disabling JIT, and others run with it.

NB...also when I´ve tried to install F1GP and run it from an original install I have the same problem. Other installs I haven´t tried I must admit.

Try altering the memory settings for RTG = 64MB and Z3 = 64MB.

I have same configuration on mine and never not had a game load, even on the latest beta.

tx FOL, but no go. With JiT enabled AmigaSYS just resets, and with JIT disabled I get a guru.....

Try using a 030 config.

[Basquemactee1]

Just change the chip to 030 and the RAM settings as above? Sorry if the question is a bit stupid, I´m not very profficient with WinUAE!!!

[Toni Wilen]

This kind of "troubleshooting" won't get anywhere. (this was reply to FOL's answer, I was too slow)

[Toni Wilen]

Disable everything that is not needed. RTG, Z3 fast etc.. Find working minimal config and then start putting expansions back until the problem happens.

(and also test without whdload key file, just to be sure..)

True, .

[Basquemactee1]

What else am I supposed to do Toni? What other info do I need to give? As explained above, I´m not as profficient as other people and would like a bit of help. If it isn´t going to be available or if I´m being a pain in the @rse, then fine, I´ll just go look elsewhere and apologise for my stupidity.

You mis-understand, toni didnt mean it the way it sounded.

Its a case of to many cooks. Asking random questions can get confusing and cause more problems.

Try what toni said as its the logical way to approach it.

[Basquemactee1]

OK, will do, and apologies too for my outburst, I´m a bit wound up from other stuff at the mo.

[Toni Wilen]

Usually it is easiest to start from minimal possible setup, the less variables the better. Perhaps even using standard WB setup first.

Heavily modified Workbench setups means too many unknown variables and my reply is usually: problem most likely has nothing to do with emulation, it is not worth the time and pain, especially with whdload.

First step is to use native display mode, I guess..

[TCD]

Not sure why this is in prb.WinUAE, but I also can't get past the setup screen. Controls seem to be not responding (might be a RTFM on my side I have to admit ). Just for the record : Plain WB 3.1 install, regged WHDLoad on the 4 MB expanded A1200 quickstart.

[Toni Wilen]

What exactly is this non-working game?

At least it's what I got from the first post.

Could be also this one:

Okay, we'll wait for Basquemactee1's answer then

This freezes because it does something that most likely only works in cycle exact modes, reads INTREQR and tests for VBLANK bit while VBLANK interrupt is enabled. (more or less works in real Amigas but can be unreliable depending on CPU type etc..)

0001C830 3039 00df f01e           MOVE.W $00dff01e,D0
0001C836 0240 0020                AND.W #$0020,D0
0001C83A 6700 fff4                BEQ.W #$fff4 == $0001C830

There is also:

0001C904 1039 00bf e0ff           MOVE.B $00bfe0ff,D0
0001C90A 0800 0007                BTST.L #$0007,D0

but this works fine in all known Amiga hardware versions anyway

Game also seems to write something to printer port..
