First: Please make sure to correctly submit bug reports (go to the WHDLoad site of the demo/game in question, in this case: http://whdload.de/demos/Megawatts_Monolith.html) and use the Author/Contact
(use it to report problems with that install) link to submit a bug report.
That way the report will be assigned to the correct game/demo and can then be assigned easily to the coder of the patch.
@Wepl: Can you move this demos/Megawatts/Monolith please?
As for the problem, please try attached slave, does it still crash?
|
|
|
|

Sorry didn't realise you could report problems drom the whdload site directly. I always come on mantis and look down the list but as its a new slave there was no option.
Anyway I just tried the new slave and it still fails at the same point with "illegal Instruction" ($10) at $7FFE2 |
|
|
|
|
|
OK, please attach the WHDLoad register file (C:whdl.register). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try attached V2 slave, you should see a red screen after the "dedication" screen, if you reach that, press right mouse button to let demo continue and tell me what happens. |
|
|
|
|
|
After the right click on the red screen it again crashes with Illegal Instruction ($10) at $80070 occured |
|
|
|
|
|
Does this also happen with the attached V3 slave? |
|
|
|
|
|
v3 slave gives the same error |
|
|
|
|
|
I am slowly but surely out of ideas and not being able to reproduce this problem doesn't make it any easier. I have now disabled the VBI code in the main part, does V4 still crash (the demo will NOT work correctly due to disabled VBI). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have disabled all interrupts in V5, if that still crashes (you will not see anything on screen if it doesn't crash) I'm completely out of ideas. |
|
|
|
|
Yes still crashing. Very weird one, I think I may ask around as see if others can test on the same hardware and see if they get the same result or its just me.
Thanks for all the hard work in trying to fix. |

|
Do you have any TCP/IP stack running? |
|
|
|
|
|
No I'm just running a standard classicwb 68k install on this machine. I have never installed any internet stuff as I just us the PCMCIA port to transfer stuff. |
|
|
|
|
|
OK, just wanted to make sure that this is not the problem. It's kinda strange though, can you try attached V6 please and tell me if you get an "illegal instruction" error at $54cfe? |
|
|
|
|
|
Error at $54cfe is correct yes |
|
|
|
|
OK, then it at least doesn't crash right at the beginning. I have disabled the tune loading in V7, does it still crash?
|
|
|
|
|
|
It still crashes but the error now is Exception "Privelege Violation" ($20) at $7fc00 |
|
|
|
|
|
OK, next try, blitter routine disabled in V8, still crashing? |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes still crashing with the same privilege error as above |
|
|
|
|
|
Can you try the follwing: copy everything to RAM: and run the patch, does it still crash? |
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah still get a privilege error running from ram |
|
|
|
|
|
Shall I try going back to whdload 18.5 instead of 18.6 to see if that makes a difference? |
|
|
|
|
Just wanted to make sure that a wrong MaxTransfer is not the cause of the problem.
Trying with a different WHDLoad versions is a good idea as well, so try with the latest officially released version (18.5) please. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tried going back to 18.5 but made no difference with that. My drive is PFS3 formatted with 0x7ffffffe mask and 0x1fe00 maxtransfer so correct I think. |
|
|
|
|
|
Just tried this demo from an adf I copied to real floppy and it runs fine direct from floppy. I then created my own install from scratch with the floppy disk and the crashes continue. Really strange problem. I'm hoping some other furia users test and see if they have issues too. |

Hi,
same message issue with my ACA500PLUS 68000@14MHZ WITH 7MB. The demo start by on the screen black with message GoodBye my friend the background change to red with the same message and any Music at this time and nothing after it seems to freeze. But if I try to press one mousse button the error message come Exception "Privelege Violation" ($20) at $7fc00.
On my ACA500PLUS I have try all slaves.
Original SLave crash with another message Exception "Address Error " ($F00C) PC =$7FF74 Read form $A4A4A5A5
From first slave attach till v7 same description and message :
Exception "Address Error " ($F00C) PC =$7FC02 Read form $20BF
With Slave v8 just after goodbye my friend with music... the screen chage and the message Exception "Address Error " ($F00C) PC =$7FC02 Read form $20BF
come directly without pressing anything buttons on my mouse...
I tried it too on my A1200 Turbo+II 68030+FPU @40 MHZ & 32 MB RAM... without any problems with the orginal Slave 1.00 (WHDLOAD package).
Best regards,
Pascal |

Please try attached V9 slave, does it still crash? I have added a blitter wait in the DoIO patch as the only idea I have left is that the main part might be trashed because blitter is still active on slow machines. |
|

|
|

Updated patch is available on the WHDLoad site. |

Hi,
For me too, It works perfectly... You can close now...
Many thanks,
Best regards,
