Worms & WormsDC problems

squirminator2k · 24 January 2007, 18:58

Ahoy, chaps. I'm having trouble with Worms and WormsDC and I was wondering if anyone here could offer me any insight.

A problem appears to have developed with WormsDC when emulated under more recent WinUAE builds. I'm using the default config file included with Amiga Forever 5, tweaked slightly to actually let me play AGA games. It'll work fine up to a point when the Aiming reticle will start to flicker in and out and the game... well, it doesn't freeze because I can still move the map around with the mouse and the water is still animating. It just stops accepting input and the Move Time counter vanishes. I'm using the IPF version installed on a virtual Hard Drive. It's also the patched version of WormsDC, if that's of any further assistance to you.

The second problem I have is with the original Worms, be it the ADF or IPF. Works fine up to the point when I choose teams. I click "START" and the menu dissolves away as it should. Then it crashes. Again I'm using the same config as above, the game is installed on the vHD using WormsShell. I've tried booting from the floppies on various configurations and it doesn't work.

Help?

is the config as near to a1200 as possible ? ie (aga,68020ec no jit, 2mbchip maybe a little z3fast, kick3.1, priority given to chipset emulation) i have the games and will see if i can make the same happen.

Hello Matt

Long time no chat, although that's probably because I don't use ICQ anymore.

I'm using the WB3.x kickstart ROM that comes with Amiga Forever 5. I did notice that the problem with WormsDC does pass eventually, if you give it time. It also seems to be tied in to the Priorities for WinUAE (I have WinUAE set to run at Above Normal priority when active), reducing the priority did seem to make a difference, but not much.

Heys, it has been a while

Ive so far tried wormsdc with a standard bare A1200 config. the game works mostly ok, just flickers abit sometimes when mving around the weapons menu.
