Odyssey
I downloaded Odyssey from here a few days ago, and I thought everything was fine. Until I found the orb that allows you to turn into a spider. When I tried to use it, it played the change animation, but then I vanished - i.e. the sprite's not there. When I change back, my character comes back, but I can't play this game as an invisible spider!
Any ideas? |

I have played Odyssey a lot and I think in my version the spider was visible.
I am not sure what spieder you mean: the one that can walk along the walls or the one that is more a grasshopper ? My crack is by LSD, btw., and I had to remove their intro to make it work on my A-500. Do you play it on a real Amiga or emulator ? ( WinUAE ?, Fellow ? ) |

Sorry, I should have provided more info. I'm running on WinUAE the adf I got from pe2000.net. The spider is the one that walks along walls, yes.
The WinUAE I'm trying is the most recent one. I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem (faulty adf) or otherwise what config they're using. |

Looks like it's working with WinUAE 0.8.8 R8, ECS30 config.

Cheers, I'll give that a try later
(the screenshot shows the grasshopper thing though, not the spider). |

Saving possible?
Hi,
sorry to run a little off-track here, but I need to ask this: how can I save in this game? Do I need a special save disk? First, I tried with a pre-formatted standard adf, no avail. And if you try an unformatted one, you get a 'DISK NOT READY' error. So you MUST format the save disk. But it doesn't work. What's up there? |

Hmm I haven't tried with emulation. But I know I have a savedisk somewhere. I believe it was just a standard formatted disk though I'm not sure.
I know WinUAE have had problems with disks before, worst part would be the one which crashed whenever you tried to save to disk. At least it drove me crazy. |

First, don't expect me to be able to tell the difference between a spider and a grasshopper. All animals in Sweden are polar bears or elks.
Seriously; I figured the gfx problem would appear with all of the characters, so I didn't bother to find the spider orb. Please correct me if I was wrong. Second, I had no problems saving my game to a blank ADF floppy. If you want me to upload it, just give me a shout. |

Nope, you're right, the graphics problem is with all characters. I went to get the grasshopper orb, and I thought it worked - until I moved right. The sprite's there when I move left, but not right. The sparrow doesn't appear appear at all, and when I'm a the rockman, I only appear intermittantly. Also, once I've changed to one of these characters, then back again, a few images of the main character vanish. I'm going to persivere with this...
@andreas I didn't have any problems saving... Except when I first tried with a disk I'd just deleted the contents of. When I formatted a new disk within winUAE and did the eject, back to game, f12, reinsert disk thingy, it all worked fine. |

HOW did you format it? Ordinary AmigaDOS OFS format, using a Workbench for formatting?

Nope, just the standard "Create Standard Floppy" button in WinUAE.
You might need to go back to the game without anything in df0: first, and press fire to be told "disk not ready", before actually inserting the disk. |

Fixed
I've managed to get this working now - "immediate blits" needs to be set, and display set to pal.

And, the "Immediate blits" is not activated in my (working) config.

Maybe it's my graphics card. If I flip back to winUAE and disable this option, when I change to other animals their sprites aren't there. When I re-enable it, the sprites come back, so I'm pretty certain it was this option causing the problem. Quote:
The game fails on the crack intro screen if NTSC is set, so it might just be that. |
