AutoVIDC crashing Chuck Rock with VIDC enhancer board

Post by JonAbbott »

Launching Chuck Rock on the A440/1 with the dual clock enhancer board, it crashes before displaying the Krisalis logo screen with the following error:

DataAbort: Abort on data transfer at &%0

It's working fine on the A4000 without the board, so I'm taking a guess its related, possibly also related to the sound tracker module. If I rmkill AutoVIDC it works, this was using the current version from the dev site (2.09 29-05-13)

Yes, I've come across this during my testing it's fixed but I've been having many, many stability issues with 2.09, thankfully, they're all sorted now.

I've uploaded a new version of 209 which should now be stable. The data abort was caused by a fix that I introduced for QTM that caused an interaction between AutoVIDC and LCDGameModes which was undesirable :(

That's fixed it, thanks.

I've shoved an extracted version of the module in there as well, as I have so many machines to FTP it to!!

Rather oddly, it seems the uncompressed version is date stamped the 26th of May. It should be the 2nd of June?

The floppy image in the ZIP is dated 26-05-13 as well, I just presumed you'd done it last week.

No.

It has caused me two 4am finishes this weekend... It's been a real pain to get sorted but sorted it is :D

I've not coded through the night like that in *years*. You know how it is, you have a problem and you just have to nail it no matter what... All good fun :D

I've re-uploaded my disk image and a stand alone module to make life easier. Both should now be dated 2nd of June.

That looks better, guess I'd better test Chuck Rock again :roll:

EDIT: It still works :)
