Darkmere crashing

mk1 · 22 April 2016, 10:21

Hi,

I've reached a point/screen in level 2 where the WHDLoad install always crashes back to Workbench and hence I can't proceed. The errors vary depending on different setup, but it's either "Exception "Line 1111 Emulator" ($2c)" or "Exception "Illegal Instruction" ($10)", both with different values after those messages Here's what I've tried:

- Real A1200 with IDE-drive and with & w/o FastMem.
- Booting without startup, disabling caches & no setpatch
- Fiddling with the MaxTransfer value of the drive
- WinUAE with A1200 setup and FastMem
- Different versions of WHDLoad and of the Darkmere install script

Nothing has helped so far. I'd like to transfer the savedisk image to a real floppy but I guess that's not possible.

Are you using the WHDLoad installer (v1.2) and WHDLoad (18.2)?

Yes, I've tried that combo too. Altough I didn't reinstall the game completely as I don't want to lose the saves.

You could try renaming your Darkmere dir v.1.1, install v1.2 and copy the savedisk from the v1.1 data dir.

Hah! I found and tried one of the non-WHD HD installs with the savedisk image mounted in df0 in WinUAE and it seems to work so atleast the savegame image is not corrupt. I can now save a game to the savegame image beyond that one particular screen and see if the game works again with the WHDLoad version.

Can you create a whd register file when it crashes?
