note ~0003804

StingRay (developer)

Please use WHDLoad's "Filelog" option and attach the file ".whdl_filelog" here, my guess is that the problem is on your end (correct MaxTransfer settings?) and has nothing to do with the patch.

note ~0003810

Stellan (reporter)

I`m using (since >10 years) a IDE HD at FastATA controller with SFS. MaxTransfer = 0xfffe00 and Mask = 0x7ffffffc. There shouldn`t any problem with this settings. Copy large files works fine. The old slave by Harry works (with timing issues). Here the filelog:

note ~0003826

StingRay (developer)

Checkums are OK but I still suspect a problem at your end as you're the only one who has such problems. Please send me your complete installed game and I will have (a short!) look.

note ~0003827

Denis (reporter)

@Stellan : Correct MaxTransfer when using SFS is = 0x1fe00 ;

You use MaxTransfer (as you stated above) = 0xFFFE00 which is wrong, SFS can't work out correctly.

note ~0003829

Stellan (reporter)

I downloaded PushOver_v1.21_1267.lha again (Retroplays pre-install) from ftp in hope that my first download was corrupt. Unfortunately the problem stays. Further, I replaced all files from Retroplays pre-install with the old install by Harry. Result is the game works. So the files seems to be ok. Makes it still sense to send you my install?

Does the game unpack propacked file itself or does whdload the unpack? I ask because I noticed to unpack it need a 16bit key. So XAD/XFD fail unpacking. On the other hand the old slave (Harry) work. Seems not the problem.

Btw your install is new. How many have tried it. So it is possible the I`m not alone with the problem.

@Denis:
MaxTransfer is independant from used filesystem. The device has to support this. My HD support the value and copy large files works fine. The people say that CF have problems with to high MaxTransfer.

As I have no other way to check what's going on you will have to send me your installed game! And the new patch has been tested by quite a few people meanwhile, no one encountered such a problem so I still suspect a problem at your end.

Also, as for MaxTransfer, not the hardware but the device driver has to handle it correctly and the standard scsi.device doesn't! And it's also not true that only CF cards are affected by wrong MaxTransfer settings!

note ~0003831

Denis (reporter)

@stellan : I have a real 2.5 inch hard drive into my A1230, and not a CF card. the maxtransfer value you gave is the one untouched in the menu when you install the SFS filesystem. If i use this value, most of my whdload games or standard installed games will crash or won't behave correctly. 0x1FE00 is the only known good value. The other one doesn't work, believe me, i had the same problem as yours when i used SFS on my hard-drive. 0xFFFE00 is a value NOT to be USED ! Check on EAB forum about the problems recurrent about it.

I have tested Stingray's push over install from A to Z, no errors shows up (aside the level 100 not showing, but it's not tied to the file system).

note : You can't decrunch the push-over files because those were key-locked by the programmer, only the internal decrunch routines can do that.

Around 10 peoples me included have tested the new slave, and it works better than the old one.

@Stellan: Have you tried it with NOCACHE option?
Without NOCACHE opt. the game crashes after the start with a similar error on my setup A-1200/40/25.( see below)

note ~0003835

Stellan (reporter)

Thanks for the hint Irek! I tried it already with NOCACHE and other tooltypes but maybe I did a typo. However, with NOCACHE the game works. Does this happen only on 040 systems? Denis, have some of the tester a 040 system?

The install by Harry works with NOCACHE and without but don`t use V1.3 kickstart and only chipram. So I guess some difference in the slaves cause the "Access Fault" but only StingRay can say/know it.

Offtopic:
I know the MaxTransfer problem. You can read it everywhere in the forums (what poped up suddenly years ago). Especially in conjunction with WHDLoad it comes popular. My system is save (FastATA controller with ata3.driver, SFS and HD). Never had any problems and also tested ok with MaxTransTest by Thomas Rapp. I never used the onboard IDE and original scsi.device what was always very limited.

note ~0003850

StingRay (developer)

I have reproduced this problem on one of my 060 A4000's now, not sure why it happens yet but once I find the reason the patch will be updated.

note ~0003853

StingRay (developer)

Fixed... Problem was caused by self-modifying code in the interrupt setup.

note ~0003855

StingRay (developer)

Updated patch which fixes the problem is now available on the WHDLoad site.

note ~0003858

Stellan (reporter)

Strange behaviour with Version 1.22 here. With NOCACHE it works like the previous version. Without NOCACHE it random start the game or the attached access fault happens. Further, the title music (not intro music. Is skipped here) playback is wrong. It seems some samples aren`t played or not ever or too short. E.g. the bass sample at the beginning isn`t played always (maybe low note problem?). Sorry, it`s difficult to explain. I never noticed such music faults.

ps: I guess it isn`t important but with skip intro tooltype, the first sample from the intro music is played for about 0,3 seconds just before the language menu appears.

note ~0003859

StingRay (developer)

Try attached slave and see if it fixes these problems.

note ~0003862

Stellan (reporter)

Unfortunately, the new slave don`t fix it.

note ~0003863

StingRay (developer)

I have found the culprit, there is a buggy DMA wait routine in the game and I also detected two other CPU dependent delay loops. Update will be available in the next days.

note ~0004887

Stellan (reporter)

Do you have already finished the update and forgot to release or you still need to do the fix? However, I would like to test a new slave. :-)

note ~0005335

StingRay (developer)

Please try the attached slave, I have fixed 3 CPU dependent delay loops in the sample players.

note ~0005336

retrogamer (reporter)

I have attached the game manual to Push Over. If you are going to update the patch please can you include it to the install package?
