Summary0004717: Trashed mem on very fast (emulated) Amiga (060 AGA JIT enabled for maximum 3D
DescriptionGameVersion: english,pal
SlaveVersion: 1.1 (01.04.2011)

Trashed mem on very fast (emulated) Amiga (060 AGA JIT enabled for maximum 3D speed, RTG Picasso emu WinUAE).
As you can see from this video, the game intro alone trashes some memory and WB RTG background will have corrupt pixels on quit:

Tested also beta 1.2a slave (probably from EAB) but didn't solve it.
TagsNo tags attached.

I tried with winuae mmu enabled, so memory is write-protected, There is no bug report from whdload.

Intro.exe trashes mem after run. If you replace Intro.exe with anything else everything will work fine.

Probably the intro.exe (actually a small demo) does something nasty on some expanded or high-end emulated systems...
I renamed C:Echo as Intro.exe just to make this WHDLoad run without troubles, and it does. No instability or RTG glitch of any kind once I go back to Workbench.

I can confirm that after I run intro.exe from Workbench (with Mem Access fault) the system gets very unstable (= Mem sanity check errors and gurus).
It probably requires a separate stability fix as it's run before the main exe.

As mentioned above with my trick (renaming C:Echo as Intro.exe to "skip" game intro) there are no OS stability issues after WHDLoad quits back to Workbench.

I still have no problem with the intro under whdload on winuae.

Could you try the attached slave ?

It will run only the intro.exe file, pls tell me if it works better or not.

Seems ok... Will test it for the next couple of days too... I also noticed with this new slave that intro.exe gets just paused when pressing mouse buttons, while the original slave did fully skip it at button press.

P.S.
An additional option to skip intro would be appreciated of course in next slave.
