Lyra 2 : incompatibilities with some WHDLoad games ?

[Bamiga2002]

Could you also test if Arkanoid gives you any problems (starting game/pausing)? I'm having probs with it but it might not be related to Lyra/WHDLoad.
Give a shout if/when you have tested it.Thanks.

I have also Lyra 2 and sometimes when exiting a WHDLoad game the keyboard does strange things like you had pressed some button down and it repeats that letter until I press any key on kb. Then it stops.

@mahen
Had time to test Arkanoid yet?

[Bamiga2002]

Hi ! Well, no problem with Arkanoid nor Revenge of Doh. What shouldn't work ?

Can you try Obsession with your Lyra 2 please ?

I mailed Jens about it. He is not aware of the problem but has an idea what might be wrong. We should try to gather as much data as possible to help him fix it when he's time.

I'll try to find more titles which have issues and check when there are really Lyra 2 specific. (easy as I have both the built in keyboard and the PS/2 connected at the same time)

Meanwhile, can you guys give Obsession a shot ?

Cheers !

In Arkanoid when I try to start a game with F1/1 the game just reboots and thus doesn't work. I tested also with a floppy version made from an adf-file. Same thing. Revenge of Doh works flawlessly.

Sure I try Obsession and those other Pinball games and report back.

Antti-pantti elefantti, can you try Arkanoid for me please?
I wanna know if it resets or goes wankers when you try to play the damn game...

[Bamiga2002]

If most games work properly with the Lyra, I figured out 3 pinball games do not

- Obsession
- Pinball Prelude
- Pinball Mania

The following ones are OK :

- Dreams - Fantasies - Illusions and thanks god - Slam Tilt

Can you Lyra 2 users confirm those results ?

I can confirm that 2 of those games are NOT working with Lyra/Lyra2.
Obsession: no response at all
Pinball Mania: VERY slow response or none at all
Pinball Prelude:

[Bamiga2002]

Somehow I had missed Pinball Prelude WHD-version, so tried that and guess what...keyboard delays there also. Strange it affects these pinball games so heavily.

[Bamiga2002]

Any progress with this? Have you confronted more games with this issue? Sometimes with Lyra (using PC keyboard) I can reboot my miggy with just CTRL-Amiga (two-finger-salute) or just CTRL or Amiga reboots the computer. This has happened a couple of times. I was just editing some text with a text-editor and wanted to get '#' from the keyboard - instead I got a reset.
Entering conf mode (SHIFT-PAUSE) I can make the KB act normally again, until it goes nuts in a random-timeframe.

[Bamiga2002]

Now that Pinball Prelude new WHDLoad-version starts OK, I can confirm that it has this same problem, VERY laggy input from Lyra and very quickly goes to a state where it accepts no input at all.

[Bamiga2002]

Has Jens given any feedback on this? Any new games with similar problems?

[Bamiga2002]

The Arkanoid-issue was fixed with a new WHDLoad slave that has modified keyboard handling .
