Summary0006320: Crashes always after start
DescriptionSlave version 1.3 2006 (Retroplay's install)

Crashes always after start with this bug:
Function 'resload_DiskLoad' called with unacceptable arguments A0 = $4FF74E20 PC = $4FFFF894 (Slave $2F4)

It crashes as "Guru" or total WinUAE stop (H3 bug), or with standard WHDLoad bug window, randomly.
Tested with 68000/020/030, all the same, all independent of WinUAE compatibility settings.
I also tried older WHDLoad 14-16 (mention in ReadMe) and no success.

File ".whdl_register" attached.

I do not get the resload_DiskLoad error on my machine, but I know why it happens. The patch does not set the extended memory correctly, causing the game to behave incorrectly unless the extended memory starts at a 64k aligned address. It will also lead to trashed memory outside WHDLoad causing a crash once the game is quit.

I have started to rewrite the patch to address these and other problems.

The updated patch is now available. Took a bit longer than expected as finding the reason for the crashes was very time consuming. I have hopefully found a good solution, at least on my system the crashes do not occur anymore.

It seems the intro and game work fine, tested with 68000/020, so... good job as always.
Thanks

One note yet. When quitkey is used, WinUAE crashes with GURU (Software failure), at least at me, tested with 68000/020/030 all cycle exact. But, when nothing is cycle exact and CPU emulation speed is fastest possible, so quitkey works without any problems. I think, this problem (quitkey) is WinUAE related, not slave.

Tested on my A600 and A1200 and on both machines the game works fine but pressing the quit key causes a guru meditation on both machines.
