Andreas' games with emulator problems corner - Page 2

OK, a new one:

Thanks to DPainter's good eyes, there's another one to be fixed:
Artificial Dreams by Loriciel.

Looks more similar to "TRON" than being an actual shoot'em up up to now

It seems to be another completely new way of playing weird tricks with the copper and/or blitter.

andreas · 29 June 2002, 00:31

and here's the non-standard config, otherwise the game would either not boot or just show a blue screen instead of the title screen or crash at the very first seconds after starting playing level 1...

Ian · 29 June 2002, 00:33

It works fine for me, have you diasabled all other memory (ie Only left 512kb's of chipmem??)

I see from your config you haven't. DOH!!! to you

andreas · 29 June 2002, 00:44

512k of chipmem WORKS.
Thank you.

BTW, are you also unable to control your ship with the mouse? It jerks around like hell, but it's impossible to control it properly

And as far as I could see, you can ONLY control this game with mouse.

Ian · 29 June 2002, 00:46

Very confuising I know, stupid assed programmer

Works perfectly with the joystick, god only knows why they make you click the mouse button to begin when you need the joystick to play it

Not necessarily!

Maybe mouse control works on the REAL thing. I wouldn't be too surprised.

Ian · 29 June 2002, 00:59

Jerky controls, sound like a classic case of using a mouse when a joystick is needed to me.

I don't have a real Amiga yet, so you could be right though, I just don't think so on this occasion

andreas · 29 June 2002, 01:01

LEFT and RIGHT can be understood in both ways!

[Joystick control]
LEFT = Joystick left
RIGHT = Joystick right

[Mouse control]
LEFT = Left mouse button
RIGHT = Right mouse button

Joystick to the left actually works for starting the game as well!

I made thethread sticky, it's a helpful one for emu users!

andreas · 29 June 2002, 19:51

wow!

Thanks.
(*trying hard not to look vain now* )

Amiga1992 · 30 June 2002, 04:41

No problem, oh, master of emulators

andreas · 01 July 2002, 00:47

*blush*

andreas · 01 July 2002, 01:32

well Akira it seems Ian too wants to have a piece of that fame cake

Amiga1992 · 01 July 2002, 05:52

Ian ate the whole cake, that's why he vomited!

As my Rollercoaster Tycoon peeps say when getting out of my rollercoasters... "I feel very sick. This Thread is great value!"

Anyway, get on with the trouble solving you two, enough of my talk.

LaserMania 2 (polish) boots now (after installing a bootblock firstofall

) but doesn't make it into the game.
It stops at track 15. There are NO ERRORS on the disk, though. It passed my notorious copy-to-HD test with flying colors.

Amiga1992 · 07 July 2002, 16:26

I've got a problem for you Andreas

I'm not much into analyzing what goes deep inside the emu when it fails, but the demo version of t-Zero just doesnt work with WinUAE. When the game is supposed to start, a scrolling background appears, no sprites, and then the emulator quits. Huge cockup methinks!

Any help apreciated

andreas · 07 July 2002, 22:20

Sorry, I CANNOT help you with this unless some kind soul uploads the demo somewhere.
It's huge so that it would hardly fit on the Zone ... or can anyone chop it up into smaller hunks (3 MB) perhaps?
Well, I dunno.

--- anti-clickBOOM rant about to start ---
<cut, outdated, let sleeping dogs lie

--- anti-clickBOOM rant over ---

Nonetheless, I cannot test it unless I have the demo here. Sorry.

[EDIT] [UPDATE] Demo is now available again from the ClickBOOM FTP! Thanks a bunch bippym for the good eyes!

Amiga1992 · 07 July 2002, 23:26

I know about the demo, they suck! I found it by MIRACLE in one of my backup CDs. Seems I snatched it just before the yclosed teh FTP..

Is it not available at Aminet? Think I should upload it?

If my friend lends me his broadband connection I'll up it to Kiken and let you know.

CheerS!

andreas · 08 July 2002, 10:21

Thanks.
Yes, please up it because it's not on Aminet.
