Trolls AGA erroneously labelled as ECS

MethodGit · 04 November 2010, 23:13

Just wanted to inform you that - after a thorough investigation elsewhere on this board - the two Trolls titles listed in your database are in fact both AGA.

SPS #0155 was tested on a quickstart A500 config in the latest WinUAE and it would fail at the bootblock. Changing the Chip RAM to 2Mb allowed it to boot and at least show the intro (which appears to be exactly the same code-wise on both chipset releases). Come the title card however, and it'll load the AGA title screen (which will resemble nothing more than a color-cycle without the correct chipset) and title tune (both of which are different in the ECS version). The manual protection screen will at least be visible, but show black text instead of yellow, and some of the background effects will look awkward.

Just thought I'd let you know.
