What "Quirks" and "Foybles" are normal with the Amiga?
« on: June 12, 2008, 07:24:56 PM »
I’m at a bit of a loss at the moment.

In the same way that we all know that the Windows BSOD is a perfectly normal and healthy occurrence (:lol:), what I can expect from my miggy in the way of quirks?

For example, I have a *certain* game (A 3D shooter) in which lines or shapes which taper to a point sometimes suddenly overshoot their intersect point and flash across the screen for an instant. Should I consider this a quirk of the game?

The same game needs to be rebooted using a bootable RAD drive before the game can run due to RAM requirements, and occasionally after exiting the game, when the Amiga tries to reboot normally to WB I just get a bright red flashing screen (ROM Error) - Could this also be considered a quirk of the game, or could this indicate a larger problem? (PS. Currently WB3.0 on KS3.1 ROMS)
I've never had this happen with other programs, except in the case of major crashes.

Comments and experience appreciated!

Ah, thanks for the comments.

Are there any major problem with regards to running 3.1 ROM's with WB3.0? From another thread, I gathered that there wouldn't be such problems, but I guess that if a game is using its own inbuilt OS system, then is there a possibility of this causing issues?
I plan to slowly over-write older system files with new ones from WB3.1 when I have a few spare weeks (So I don't have to re-install everything from scratch, hopefully)...
