Jaguar XJ220 and saves

Retroplay · 14 March 2007, 16:03

How does one get the game to save progress ?
I've been messing around with it for hours last night and it refuses to work (alot of the TOSEC adfs don't work properly).
What I did was insert disk 1 and 2 into DF0 and DF1, then created a blank disk with WinUAE's option to do so and inserted that into DF2.
Jaguar then tells me that I need to format the disk before I can save.. fine I do that but nothing happens.
I also tried out the WHD installed version and for some reason that'll not save either.

Is any special settings needed to get this to work in WinUAE

Does the game actually support 3 drives?

Save Disks usually like to be in DF0

When clicking Save or however you do it, does it not ask for the Save Disk to be inserted in DFO:? If not have you tried putting the Save Disk in DF0: before clicking Save?

I'll add this to the list of the games to test tonight. Last time it worked in WHDLoad when I tried.

Yeah I remember i had the WHD version working but what I don't understand is that it's the same HDF image I've been using all the time and now for some reason I can't get it to work.

@DamienD.
I think you're right about it has to be in DF0.
I'll check it later. Thanks.

Checked the HDF for write protection? This could happen when you copy back stuff from a burned cd.

Retroplay · 14 March 2007, 17:32

Read/write is enabled.
I transferred the file back to my PC from my Xbox's WinUAEX dir so it's not write protected in any way.
I'll grab the installer from whdload.de and make a fresh install and see if that'll do the trick.

I think you need to format the disk using Jaguar's save option or prepare one completely blank disk.

Jaguar XJ220 supports save in any drive.

WHDLoad uses DF2: (Disk.3) for save/load data

In ADF version I've set empty floppy into DF2: and when prompted to save after first race, it asked to format disk *it changed name of disk to 'Jaguar Save'. So it worked for me.

I never used XBox, so no idea there...

Here is screenshot of prompt to format game save disk:

Nice one Anubis

To be honest I've never tried to save in this game so was only speculating and you know I don't use WHDLoad

Anubis · 15 March 2007, 12:29

I used to play the game back on amiga. Always had 2 save disks after friend of mine lost his save due to disk error.

Small question regarding WHDLoad: Why are there whdload versions for games which have a native hd install procedure? And if they had not, some could be simply copied to the HD. And even these are whd'ified. =) Never got the concept of this...

Taken from http://wiki.abime.net/amiga:whdload_faq_by_codyjarrett

- All games have a quit option to return to Workbench.
- The games are fixed to work on modern machines.
- The games are patched to pass any copy protection.
- High scores or save games can be sent to the hard disk.
- Bugs or annoying features are fixed.
- Game compatibility with emulators is often improved.

Thank you Mister.

It just keeps telling me to format the disk.

If possible could somebody please put a Jag savedisk in the zone for me to test.

Anubis · 15 March 2007, 19:21

In The Zone.

Make sure you uncheck write/protected in WinUAE.

Retroplay · 15 March 2007, 19:31

Thanks

Anubis · 17 March 2007, 04:20

You're welcome.

Can you save now?

Retroplay · 17 March 2007, 20:00

Nope

It still wants to format the disk you made.
I think I have a bugged game.

Anubis · 18 March 2007, 07:22

Have you tried one from GameBase Amiga?
