Blizzard whdload errors

[RetroGR]

Hello dudes ,

After all my troubles with the previous accelerators i had i finally got my 1230 Blizzard

Everything works great except for a few games that put out some errors.I hope you guys can help me understand what is going on.If there is an error list please do share.

The game i want to play is the Buck Rogers The Doomsday after some combats there is a software failure error code 8100 0009 48E70042 and the system restarts.I tried two different game versions with the same results.I also tried to remove add preload and nocache commands with no luck.

Any ideas dudes ?

Have you tested the memory for errors? Is this the only game that makes a problem? Maybe, it's just a slave problem. I can test the game with ACA 1220 when I get home.

Hey, I'll try the game on my Blizzard at let you know if it works here.

Are you using the latest version of WHD?

 

[RetroGR]

Hello thanks you guys ill wait for your tests as well I use the version 17.0 (registered) and yes its the only game that has that issue and its the one i like to play like crazzzzzzy.other games from SSI work great.

I did not test the memory for errors any idea how to do that ? Thx

 

[fitzsteve]

I think 17.2 is the latest, you should upgrade.

There are some memory test applications on Aminet, but I don't have a specif one to recommend.

I done the sysspeeed v2.6 ram test and comes back ok.I will try the new whdload version and will let you know dudes thx for the help.

I like this memory tester: http://aminet.net/package/util/moni/MemCheck12

But I guess the one you have used is ok. This definitely looks like a problematic slave to me, not a system issue. Install the latest WHDLoad and also try with 16.x as well, because many things worked better before.

If everything else fails, you can still contact the author of the slave. They are pretty friendly and eager to help.

 

[fitzsteve]

Yeah EAB is a good place to post about WHDLoad issues if we don't solve it here

 

[RetroGR]

Great hints thanks dudes ill do tests later and will let you know.

 

[RetroGR]

I think its the slave dudes like you said.Same error with latest version of WHDLoad so ill try a few adf's or another version.Maybe a solution might be to install the game on the hard drive as well.

 

[fitzsteve]

Are you sure your 1.3Rom in Devs/Kickstarts is OK? This game uses Kickemu

Will report my experience later as promised.

 

[RetroGR]

Yeap i never had issue with a 1.3 game before and i tested lots of games already.Only the one i like the best it dose not work looks like the adf versions out there are crap.Also there is only one Whdload version out there.

I use classic workbench as well if this helps out.I also have the original game but my stupid Panasonic floppy cant read the disk

Can you run the rolling demo without any probs, or does that crash eventually too?

You mean the games demo or something else like a rolling demo like It's Time 2 Play ect ?

 

[RichyV]

Yes, the game itself has a Demo mode, does it not? I wondered if you kept this running for a while, does it still show the same issues, or is it only when you play it?

 

[RetroGR]

I will test it out dude no idea if it works.But i think i might need another ram as well the one i have atm is old and slow.Ill try the same slave with my second CF as well to see in another setup if it has the same problems.

I saw after some digging that this message might have to do with scalos menu and i use it on my classic workbench setup.

Going to put it on demo mode

The demo runs ok I tried it two times no problem.

I download the buck rogers whdload installer atm and will test this out using the disks i already have.Lets see what will happen.

 

[b00mer]

I've tested the game yesterday and it didn't GURU on me. This is not my type of a game and I haven't got very far. Can you write the exact steps that lead to the SW failure?

 

[RetroGR]

Sure it happens when you are combating the animation freezes and the power led flashes...after that the failure screen appears and some seconds after the system restarts.

I don't know if you can recreate it but if it helps the i saw a forum i cant recall the name now ( with a mantis picture ) that had some known issues.

But if you do like 4 combats the error should appear.If not its another indication that the slave is old or corrupted

After all the game worked with a patch that i found inside the whdload installation pack :arms Now the game runs flawlessly with no issues so far

Thanks again for the tips dudes
