Title: Lemmings Whdload on P-UAE: stalls after a while!
Post by: gaula92 on November 14, 2010, 12:53:29 PM
Hello there

I'm having a hard time finding out why is this happening. I'm using P-UAE (an updated version on E-UAE with the WINUAE core integrated by Gnostic) to emulate a plain 68K, KS 2.0 with ECS and IDE HD.
It works great (even perfect scroll in games thanks to my custom 50HZ 720x576 video mode for Linux), but the game stalls after playing for a while, after 5 or 6 phases...
The game music keeps playing, but the entire game freezes, except for the green cursor.

I've tried different combinations, different memory configurations, but I KNOW this game doesn't need cycle-exact cpu or blitter to work right.
It happens with both WHDLOAD versions: 1 Disk and 2 Disk versions behave the same.
I'm using latest P-UAE code from github. Not JIT or anything (plain 68K emulation as said).
So... any ideas?

This problem isn't specific to your config as it also happens to me on a real A1200 060. I'm also interested in cause/solution.

The question is whether anyone using OS 1.3 has ever had a problem? (My guess is no.)  I never have, but I never really played it that much either.

The problem is known on all WHDLoad versions of Lemmings "1".

rkauer: even with a plain 68000 processor?? I take a 060 would bring up compatibility issue, but a plain 68k should work well... shouldn't it?

Me too. On a real A1200 030. Better right down those level codes and start again. Ah WHDload !
