I had a fix that I didn't release. Can you test this new slave?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi JOTD,
sorry to say but nothing's changed :(
The background and the cars has graphicproblems and the game crashes a few seconds after I started to play. |

okay, but I can't reproduce it with winuae with the fastest cpu speed... |
|
|
|

can you try with EXPCHIP see what happens? |

Tried now with "expchip" but it also crashed with the same problem. |

I have attached a full chip slave. Please send the .whdl_register file, I'll be able to match the addresses. |

Here is the file you wanted made with your new slave. |

Hi,
Trying to help, I tried the latest Slave 1.1 Debug on my 2 Amiga types.
There are some graphics issues with this latest version.
on my Amigas there is a superposition of images at the level of the buildings with the image flashing during the race and even in the short presentation with the skull ...
On my A500ACA500PLUS while I was racing the screen suddenly went black with a complete loss of the video signal and I had to reboot to get a video signal with the workbench.
On my A1200 (GVP Turbo+2 68030+FPU @40 Mhz with 32 MB) same graphics problems and then suddenly a return to the workbench with a WDHLOAD error message ...
But with Your previous Slave 1.0 and 1.1 (December 2007),
the game seems to works correctly on my 2 Amigas without any graphics problems & without any errors messages ...
These are my observations,
Best regards,
Pascal |

new beta slave attached (for blitter waits)
Access faults may remain, but it could fix the graphical errors. |
|
|
|
|
|
Wow, that's really cool, the graphic errors are over and the crashes also. I played the first level complete and it worked, but in the second level the game suddently had a kind of freeze. I was driving on a straight lane and suddently the street moved on while the car and other cars in the game freezed. |

Hi,
Sorry but for myself, same graphics problems with some superposition of images with the image flashing during the race (high of the screen) and even in the short presentation with the skull ...
For myself Your Skave 1.1 from 2007 works on my both Amiga systems...

@Pascal check with EXPCHIP for instance. Because there's no reason why my changes would have broken something
@christoph is your machine really a A4000/040/AGA? |
|
|
|
|
@JOTD
Hi,
Sorry for delay to answer You,
Yes these Tooltypes works
EXPCHIP for My A1200 (GVP TURBO+II 60830 @40Mhz + FPU AND 32MB RAM)
EXPLocal for My A500ACA500PLUS (68000 @14 Mhz WITH 7MB RAM).
Both resolves graphics problems on game on my both Amiga(s) except on intro with Skull (flashing).
But on my both systems on 1st stage sudently when the car stay behind a truck the game freeze and I need to press my Quitkey ($46) to return to workbench because I can't continue to play...the sound freeze too...
With Your initial Slave 1.1 from 2007 tooltypes were not necessary, no graphics problems were presents (intro + in game) on my both systems.
Under WINUAE Without any ToolTypes graphics problems are the same (WINUAE 4.4.0 64Bit)WHDLOAD 16.6
Sorry to report that....Because I really appreciate Your Works for WHDLOAD community...
Best Regards,
Pascal |
|
|
|
|
I just retry under WINUAE with toolType EXPCHIP (0S3.5)...
but full graphics problems before sudently a game exit with a message Error :
Exception "Illegal Instruction" (S10) at $E4AE (Task 'exec.library') Occured. |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it's really a A4000 with AGA. |

@Pascal I think that's because I set CACHE in chip. Try just with NOCACHE. I'll rollback this change. |

attached a new version. If you can test... |
|
|
|
|
@JODT
I Just finish to test Your latest Slave on my Both systems.
Without ToolType EXPCHIP on A1200 or EXPLOCAL on A500 and WITHOUT NOCACHE.
Graphics problems seems not presents on both systems but the game freeze each time sudently when the cars stay behind a truck on 1st Level.
I Fact, the scenery of the road continues to move forward but the music freeze and the car is no longer controllable.
for the intro of the game with the different screens and the skull I really prefer the result of the slave 1.1 from 2007.
Sorry to repeat that but the result of Your Slave 1.1 from 2007 is really better for me...
Maybe others players can try it.
Best Regards,
Pascal |

Chris you must have an early version/a buggy version of the graphics chip where blitterwait is slightly buggy.
Some games are using a non-compliant blitterwait and it fails on some machines.
Crazy Cars III had the same issue.
I'm going to investigate the freezes now. |
|
|
|
|
|
But I have to say you did great work cause the only problem I have with your latest installer are the freezes, so I think you will get the problem done. |
|
|
|
|
Hi there :)
do you get any new results about this problem?
Best reguards,
Chris |

i will try last beta and v1.1 (2007) slaves on blizzard 060 to compare (at the end of the week, if i have free time)
With change i will can reproduction your freeze when the cars stay behind a truck on 1st Level...
I might have ideas to help Jeff to correct your problem

perhaps a code like:
waitblt:
btst #6,$2(Ax)
bne waitblt
cause freeze if for an obscure reason Ax register have not DFF000 value all time.
(by example if Ax not restored at the end of an interrupts code??)
ps:I already had this problem in the past...
|
|
|
|
|

With the installer that is at this time online I also get an access fault. That's the files I've sent to you. |

Christoph, can you confirme that you are not the freeze and/or crash with v1.1? I am not sure to have understand well.. |
|
|
|
|
|
That's correct. With the first installer I got access faults and graphic errors, with V1.1 they were fixed but the game freezes on level 2 with V1.1 |

waitblt:
btst #6,$2(Ax)
bne waitblt
isn't the proper way to wait for blitter anyway. you have to perform a first btst before the loop (some machines can fail seeing bbusy)
There may be issues with dma audio missing delays. Attached a new slave and also changed the blitwaits to use absolute custom address as cfou! suggestion (that's a vicious issue!!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first custom chip access for the blitter wait (doesn't have to be btst, can be a simple tst.b $dff002 too for example) is only needed when DMA load is high (5 bitplanes or more) and machine has a very old Agnus installed. It shouldn't make any difference for the majority of cases where a blitter wait is needed if the first access is not done. |
