Aue4all (again)

[skaboy]

Further to my previous post / thread, I've followed all of the instructions in setting up the Amiga emu: all files are in the right place and I have the correct kick.rom file (kick13: 512kb).

I can select a ROM (Pinball Dreams) by pressing "L" then "B" to select it but when I try to run a ROM (by pressing "R"), I get a white screen. I've waited for up to five minutes for the ROM to load but nothing.

Where am I going wrong please?

Furthermore, by changing the emu bias to CPU (as advised in the wiki), I get an Amiga Workbench 1.3 screen: what now?

Excuse me whilst I talk amongst myself: I'm having thoughts as I wrack my brain and adding them here in the hope that I can aid my potential helpers.

My thought now is, does the Amiga want a workbench disk? The screen I'm looking at shows a hand, holding a workbench (1.3) disk. Do I somehow need to insert the kick.rom file into a drive?

Probably not but just a thought...

Try something else, another adf of different game... if you are getting the workbench hand the emulator is working fine. Maybe it just doesnt like the version of pinball dreams you are using.

Perhaps your adf is not "mounted", as this screen is the basic amiga boot screen without
any disk inserted OR you adf image is corrupted/not working.

EDIT : Btw, you don't have to insert a workbench disk for playing games.

​

So it might not be as complicated as I thought? I was thinking that perhaps I had to put the kick.rom into drive 0 and the .adf file into drive 1 or something.

If you are seeing the workbench hand the kickrom is already loaded.

Nop
Just put an Adf game in df0. Reboot, that's all you need !

EDIT : some games takes a long time to load.

I'm putting an adf (Pinball Dreams) in df0 by pressing "B" to select it: I just get the workbench screen.

I'm surmising that Pinball Dreams is the problem and that I need to try another file.

After you selected the adf file try to reboot the emulator by selecting reset! It might eventually load then...

Tried that and still just get the Workbench screen: is the Workbench screen a loading screen? It's been displayed for five minutes and more at a time so I'm assuming that my problem is with the specific Pinball Dreams adf file. If that's all it is, I just need to try another game, which I'll have to do tonight as I can't download at work.

 

[virusx]

yes... reset your emu each time you change your adf file.
Have you tried this adf in a Pc/Mac based emu ?

EDIT : No the Workbench image isn't a loading screen. It's the basic splash screen of Amiga computers. Like when there's no disk in the diskdrive.
So I would think it's your adf that is not good.

EDIT 2: You should have a NON AGA version of it and a good working version.
There's a least 20 different versions of disk 1 and 2 for this game for exemple.

EDIT 3: This game is working on my Uae4all. Tested and approved !
I'll do a ball or two for you

I had troubles too making this program work. First, is the kick 1.3 has been renamed "kick.rom"?
Then, select Throttle to 0. That solved my problem.
Also, consider that not all games are currently supported by UAE4ALL. Some games takes a long time to load. Good luck.

kick 1.3, or kick13.rom has been re-named "kick.rom".

By "Throttle" do you mean "Frame select(?)"?

I waited for a good few minutes and the Workbench screen remained.

I'm home now and just tried a new ROM: R-Type works

So, UAE4All is fine but Pinball Dreams is a problem: I'd love to play PD. Any ideas anyone?

In the meantime, thanks for sorting me out with UEA.

Get a different version of Pinball Dreams (and make sure it's not the AGA one). Simple, but effective. It does work for me, and at least four other people have reported it working too. Here's a shot of it in action:

I'm using the Fairlight cracked one, as I'm sure everyone else is (as none of the other crack groups were keen to do over coders they saw as some of their own). Goodness only knows what you've managed to find that doesn't work.

I used the Quartex one, and it's working too.
This was fun, but I had to tweak the emu a lot to have a flawless play.
I don't know why but High Fskip makes the game uncool to play with.
