Edit : Here is the post with the fix for savestates that was implemented in 1.5.3

Apidya supports 2 buttons, the second is for weapon/speed selection.

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 20:01

Interesting. But is version 1.5.3 really stable? I see there's a 1.6 now.

Retro: Good to know. =)

Retro-Nerd · 24 January 2009, 20:06

1.5.3 is the last full release, it's stable. The second button is the same like space, you enable the collected speed, weapons, shield extras.

You can also use the 1.6.0 beta, but 1.5.3 is the last officical release and should help you with your problem

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 20:22

All right, I'm giving it a go. I'll be using Beta 5, should I chose beta 8 instead?

EDIT: Save-states are working like a charm,

but it does say that it's an obsolete beta at the beginning.

EDIT2: Just wanted to say THANKS everyone!

I'm thinking this save-state bug was probably what messed up the turrican-games for me as well.

And huge cudos to helping me set up the controls, with quicksave-keys. They're a life-saver... literally!

Ah cool

Glad to hear you got it sorted mate

Now have fun playing the games the way you want it

Predabot · 27 January 2009, 16:17

All right, I've had a bit of fun, playing this game. I've just completed the robotic level, and then I run into a strange problem...

The screen starts flickering from black to white, and I get this message:

"Software Failure. Press left mouse-button to continue. Guru Meditation #00000003.B03C0001"

Did I make some kind of mistake with the disk-swapping? What?

TCD · 27 January 2009, 18:47

Ah drats

Can you make a savestate before it happens? I would like to have a look (but not really to play through the game to that point to be honest

)

Predabot · 27 January 2009, 20:29

The save-state is actually just prior to the failure. How do I add files to a post?

TCD · 27 January 2009, 20:31

You could upload it to the zone

Have a look here : http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=vb_...ezone_faq_item

Retro-Nerd · 27 January 2009, 20:33

Or zip it and use the paperclip icon for attachments.

Predabot · 27 January 2009, 23:02

Here we go. It's the quartex-crack of course.

TCD · 27 January 2009, 23:09

Hmm, this is right before the crash as it seems

Sorry for not pointing it out more precise, but a savestate ingame (before the level ends) would be more useful

I've seen that your savestate has 1 MB chip and no slow ram. Which quickstart did you choose for Apidya?

Retro-Nerd · 27 January 2009, 23:11

Use A500 most common. You used 1 MB Chip + ECS Agnus. I guess you have to play again. Your savestate loads automatically these settings.

Predabot · 28 January 2009, 00:45

I used Kickstart 1.3 with Apidya, and indeed the 1mb Ram and ECS Agnus chipset.

Should I be using some slow and Fast Ram as well? It's a regular 68k CPU of course.

TCD · 28 January 2009, 00:48

Go to the quickstart window and select '1.3 ROM, OCS, 512 kB Chip + 512 kB Slow RAM (most common)'. You should also insert both disks (first in DF0: and second in DF1

.

Predabot · 28 January 2009, 01:34

All right, settings optimized. I'd like to give it another go, but would this new config work with the old save-state...? :|

TCD · 28 January 2009, 01:35

Sorry, but no

The savestate will overwrite the new config. Like Retro said : You have to play from the beginning...

Predabot · 28 January 2009, 01:42

That sucks ass...

Hmm... Well, there seems to be something called levelskip in the quartex-crack. Seems a bit needlessly complicated tho... why not just let the user select the level by clicking, like in the Turrican-cracks?

I think I'll have a look at the one Sun68 posted, maybe there's a more logical level-selector in that one.

Too bad I'll lose all my kick-ass powerups now... I had virtually everything. I was pretty bad-ass.

EDIT: That's the same release... I'll have to try another one. One that lets me select which level to start at.
