Problem with Nemac IV and WinUAE

Steve · 25 October 2003, 12:24

Has anyone played the game "Nemac IV" through WinUAE?

It's a game I've always wanted to play since I first saw it in Amiga Format. But the damn thing has never worked for me in WinUAE. The game is installed on my OS 3.9 hard drive complete with Picasso 96 drivers but the game won't display itself at all.

When the game loads up you hear the sound effects but there is nothing on the screen just black emptiness.

So I decided to try the game again today. Instead of running the game using the default settings (uaegfx 320x200x8bit) I selected the standard PAL option. It suddenly worked to my surprise. The only problem is it's obviously no where near as fast as it would be using Picasso 96.

So the question is why doesn't this game work using the uaegfx driver? Has anyone tried this game through WinUAE and managed to get it working with the uaegfx driver? Maybe this is an odd WinUAE bug?

Strange. I tried a different option in the Nemac IV configuration and it's suddenly working. Instead of using:

uaegfx 320x200 x8 bit

I chose

uaegfx 320x200 x8 bit CLUT.

I have no idea why this new selection works but it does work. And it's lovely and fast.

If I remember correctly, I had similar problems, but eventually got it working to grab screens for Nemac IV and the Director's Cut.
