Doh, forgot to say that I have 8 MB Fast ram.

Well it just crashed again with the same exception error at the Genetic Asylum boss.
Yesterday the game crashed at sector 2 in Midan's Labyrinth.
It didn't crash with an exception or access fault, it just froze and I was still able to quit the game.

This slave is indeed buggy.

It crashes randomly with my A500 KS3.1 68030 8MB fast 2MB chip also. The floppy version crashes also but in 68000 mode it works perfectly. I think the problem might be with CPUs > 68k.

similiar problem is with Assassin - crashes at 1 level in caves, always in the same place "exception "illegal instruction" ($10) at $8006A occured. If I do not enter this place everything is ok in level 1. Game bug?

Wepl (manager)

there is a new install released in july this year, does it fix the problem?

note ~0002066

Retroplay (reporter)

Well I just succesfully completed the game using slave v1.2 and WHDLoad 17.0.4874.

However it seems that some places in Midan's Lair triggers a bug which leads to a crash.
"Unfortunately" I must have went straight through that level without entering that area just now. :(

haynor666 (reporter)

Since the same situation is in Assassin I assume that these bugs are indeed game bugs not whdload or machine dependent.

Retroplay (reporter)

That might very well be the truth, just think of Project-X, the first revision of that crashed 95% of the time on level 3 on a standard Amiga 500 with 512kb fakefast.
On 1mb chip ram Amigas it worked fine though.
Team 17 should have hired more playtesters back in the day. :\

Probably can be fixed but this require lot of work.

I just released a new update. It has levelskips. Please use the levelskips and tell me what's the fastest way to make it crash (I also added fastmem support)

note ~0005091

Retroplay (reporter)

It seems the new v2.0 installer at whdload.de contains the old v1.2 slave.

note ~0005092

Retroplay (reporter)

Sorry, I just noticed there's two slaves in the archive, can't see the forest for all the trees. :)

JOTD (developer)

thanks. I just updated the package, expansion memory was not enabled!

Retroplay (reporter)

No crashes to report, all seems to be working now.
