Rise of the Robots ECS

[Nibbler]

There is no sound in the new OCS slave for Cinematics . Mantis Bug report was made.

[NeoHippie2016]

@nibbler: you are right! On my 1200 machine i also hear silent during cinematics! @jotd:

[Nibbler]

Yupp; tested on real hardware and different WinUAE settings. always the same.
Its the slave itself that causes that.

I wrote JOTD already and he is working on it. Patience please.
Greetings, Nibbler

@nibbler: jotd released the fix on the WHDLoad Page. @jotd: i will try it later!

[Nibbler]

Wow, that was fast hmmm, should work, its version 1.4 and it even mentions it in the readme.
I will try it... i am pretty sure it works. I play through it - only takes 15 minutes XD

[Nibbler]

I finished the game
Even a Lemming could do that ( NO disrespect to any Lemmings )

100% working.

Mission Complete, thank you JOTD

No, i go back an play a REAL GAME !!! Worthy by Pixelglass

Still, we now have this peace of history and i always have this special connection with this game ( or childhood trauma ) So, thanks for that

Of course, there is a story behind Rise of the Robots....
Kim justice did a full documentary if you are interested

This game was impressive (at least for graphics) but as a fighting game it was really mediocre. I'm suprise they did second part.

Would someone be so kind and upload WHDLoad version of RotR ECS into the zone, please?

Thank you!

Just a question, is RiseOfTheRobots_v1.4-B_1365.lha (ECS) supposed to work on 68000?
I have A500+ with ACA500, therefore 2MB Chip + 4MB Fast with Kickstart 3.1, but the game crashes with WHDLoad giving: Exception "Illegal Instruction"...

[jotd]

I'll fix that in a few. Do you happen to have all kickstarts including kick40068.A1200 and kick40068.A4000 in devs:kickstarts? that's probably the reason.

but I'm going to update no matter what.

[Jacques]

Yes, complete set of Kickstarts is there (photo attached).

[jotd]

that's the issue. Kickemu chooses A1200 version instead of A600. Rename A1200/A4000 kicks it will work. But wait a bit, we're going to fix it properly from kickstart emulation.

[Jacques]

Oh, I wasn't aware of that situation when using 68000 Amiga (I own A1230, too), I thought all of them should be there and WHDLoad somehow decides which is suitable.

Anyway, now RotR ECS works like charm on my A500+, thanks again!

[jotd]

that will be the case soon.

[Superman]

Oddly now this latest ECS update won’t load any more on my A600 or A1200. It tells me I have an invalid kickstart image in devs kickstarts kick40063.a600.

I have all relevant kickstarts and the previous ECS version worked fine. Same issue with Bloodnet ECS also.

Edit: Same problem with both Valhalla games too.

[jotd]

check your kickstart image which is probably invalid with CRC16 whdload tool

A600 and A1200 KS should have these valid checksums:

Ok thanks I fixed it by obtaining another kickstart with the correct crc. In all the years I have been using Whdload I never had that issue with the kickstarts before. I guess all the other games only use either A500 or A1200 kickstarts.

Thanks for the help.
