Re: Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

I might have been wrong on that. Here's an old video where you can see the correct level transition: https://youtu.be/X7CYEb60ZQI?si=Qy_xFf0CZrtVo0ZQ&t=375 That seems to be a bit smoother than is currently the case with your latest fix. Either way, the game is currently playable all the way thro...

Re: Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

It looks like its supposed to transition to black at the end of a level, then fade back up for the next I don't recall seeing this happen on my previous test where I got a lot further into the game. I think level transitions simply fade from one colour palette to the next, the screen doesn't fade t...

Re: Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

Note the HDD LED flashing on the A5000 as the screen goes black.

Re: Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

I tried the new obey file, unfortunately the issue persists. It happened quite early on this time, as it normally does:

Once it fades to black, the intermittent flashing / reappearing of the screen with the wrong colours happens when I press the smart bomb button.

Re: Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

Example of the palette change:

However, when the bug occurs, instead of a smooth fade between colours, instead the whole screen starts to flash then fades to black.

Re: Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

Interestingly, I just tried again, this time to capture a video, and for the first time in what must be at least 5 tests, it did not fade to black. However, much further than normal into the game it did eventually fade to black and stay that way. It only happens when the stage colours start to flash...

Re: Blaston (1991) (Eterna)

Thanks, tested it and got to the end, this is the message you get:

Not sure if it's a bug with the game itself (quite likely I imagine) or a result of the hack.

Quark - screen goes black after several minutes of play

A few months ago I acquired a hacked version of Quark, it used the nodisc hack from here: https://www.phlamethrower.co.uk/riscos/ However, after several minutes of gameplay, the game screen starts to flash and fades out to black. The screen doesn't reappear until you have lost all your lives and the...
