With the WHDLoad version I use these tooltypes and have no glitches (my cfg in signature):

Code:

ExecuteStartup=
ExecutePostDisk=uae-configuration cachesize 0 cpu_speed real cpu_multiplier 8 cpu_throttle -600
NOCACHE

Isn't it some badly cracked version? Also, try with Kickstart 3.0.

graphical glitches don't come with bad cracks. Blitter errors are the cause most of the time. Easy to figure out: use "immediate blitter" in winuae and see if the errors go away.

If not, then it can be self-modifying code (disable JIT) or sprite refresh/sync problem (speed problem, again)

From my experience with WinUAE it's not uncommon that new versions change how emulation timing works, and this can introduce glitches not present before.
It can happen you have to set different options with different WinUAE versions, even if you use no JIT and full cycle exact sometimes is not enough...
Luckily enough this usually happens only for a very few games.

If you untick all "Cycle-exact" options then there are no issues; that's what I have set, and that's all you have to do if you want to play this perfectly via WinUAE.

This game has been like this as far back as I can remember and through many WinUAE versions... this point is for hexaae saying "new version can introduce glitches not present before".

Very easy to just leave "Cycle-exact" options off...
