Ok, I just thought the OSemu mode emulated a clean Amiga reset but that's not the case obviously. It's very hard to fix the technical problem behind gfx error in jim power's very 1st level? |

Ok, no flashes, but it's quite slow without CACHE with 060. With CACHE it's always silky smooth and sprites and scrolling is refreshed 1\50 sec. Much better. >BJ the sprite wobble is normal i would say, doesnt that happen under jst? Not at all, and not even loading Oscar from floppies... When there is the bubble-breath sound your sprite trembles up'n'down. -- Luca "Hexaä" Longone |

Subject: [WHDLoad] Oscar AGA and underwater flickerings Hello, am I the only one to see a gfx bug in Oscar AGA, underwater (horror) level? Don't move your sprite underwater and every time there's the bubble sound Oscar will flicker up&down... Can't see this bug running it from floppy or using the installer by T.Kessler: http://jffabre.free.fr/amiga/other_loaders/oscarhd.lzx |
 |
Bug still unsolved. Was present on real A1200 and now on WinUAE... :( When underwater (Horror level), when the bubbles sound occurs, your sprite will tremble up/down with a minimal gfx corruption. |

Could you test if this still happens with the updated install? |

Seems to work fine and I can't see the glitch anymore (WinUAE 4.2.3beta + WHDLoad 18.5). Wepl, just a question about cheats and potential gameplay improvements: Would it be possible to implement 1 hit = death for enemies (it's 3 in the original game)? And maybe add a "no respawn" (or much longer at least) option after you kill them? This game was technically quite cool with crisp gfx and nice AGA effects (water etc.), a real pleasure to see, but gameplay has always been killed by that stupid respawn system and enemies to be hit 3 times to die... Very bad game design ideas that made it boring and uninteresting/frustrating IMHO. |

JOTD made the last change to this install. Maybe him. I have not time for that ATM. |

Argh! I was wrong about the underwater bug with vertical-rattling sprite at bubble sound: With these tootlypes under WinUAE I can't see it: ExecuteStartup= ExecutePostDisk=uae-configuration cachesize 512 immediate_blits true cpu_speed real cpu_compatible true cpu_throttle -200 But is still reproducible using these: ExecuteStartup= ExecutePostDisk=uae-configuration cachesize 0 cpu_compatible false cpu_cycle_exact true immediate_blits false |

could it be a blitter error? going to check with WinUAE blitter debug option. Apart from that: the new version of the slave implements the "1 hit kill" on enemies if some option is on. I didn't remove the respawn though. But with this option, the game is already less tedious. Good suggestion! Unrelated: Jim Power graphical glitches are completely unrelated. And game doesn't use the OS. Stingray is having another look right now. |

Great! If possible would be great the no-respawn option too... ;) |

I can confirm this glitch: when the bubble sound plays, a few horizontal pixels appear and the character "jumps". It's a sprite data issue. The first line is probably the last line of the character or some other irrelevant data. Coupled with the sound replay routine WTF :) The sprite glitch issue even happens on quickstart A500 with ECS version unless "cycle exact (full)" is ticked. It's a beam/sync sprite refresh issue. |
