Whdload tooltypes
« on: November 25, 2009, 05:59:43 PM »
I have this problem, that Slam Tilt (AGA) does not start when loaded from
OS 3.9, but loads fine when started without startup-sequence, and with preload option used. The game requires 2 mb chipmem and 1mb othermem.
I assume that when loaded from OS, the chipmem runs out (just black screen, have to boot from that point). Is there a tooltype that forces whdload to use only or mostly Fast ram? Or is this even my problem ?

Thanks again. :)

And a couple of A600\'s :).

Try booting 3.9, then select a low-res screenmode with 4 colors to free some chipmem. If the game then works, you've narrowed it down.

If it's a chipmem issue, see this thread for some ideas. I play SlamTilt from WB all the time, so it's definitely "doable". :) (My apologies if you've already tried all this.) There aren't any WHDLoad tooltypes I'm aware of to help here.

How much Chipmem do you have free when you run SlamTilt ?
BTW, all other games that ran out of memory gave me an error message, this one does not, only a black screen and "tilt" as the name of the game suggests :roflmao:.

What other hardware do you have? WHDLoad chokes if networking or USB is active, at least on Zorro machines.

Have you tried the usual compatability tooltypes? PAL, NTSC, NOAUTOVEC, NOCACHE, and (as a last resort) NOVBRMOVE ?

Turning USB off from Trident helped, hooray :biglaugh: !!
And I have 1.29 MB of free Chipmem when starting SlamTilt.

Thanks to everybody involved, I can always count on you guys:o.
