Rock'n Roll (Rainbow Arts) not loading #122

Open FloLore opened 5 years ago

Hi Colin,

The game "rock'n roll" does not load entirely, caprice32 does a reset after the presentation screen just before asking the second floppy disk. I tested with the latest version as well as with caprice32 v4.4 (03/2017) and caprice32 v3.6.1, the problem is the same. No info in the console ...

(UK - Original - First Dump) http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&onglet=dumps&num=1821

This game is protected by "anticopy v5" and "weak sectors", but these two protections are perfectly recognized by caprice32. I have tested with other games protected by these protections and they work very well.

Best Regards,

FloLore

Had a quick look. I can reproduce but I have no clue what's wrong with it.

I tested the original version "Erbe Software" unprotected and it starts very well so the problem probably comes from one of two protections, either emulation or the dump floppy present on this site.

Off topic: Congratulations for your release 4.5, he is one of the great emulators!

Best Regards,

FloLore

Tested the same dsk files with xcpc and it works. Maybe I'll be able to dig into the differences ...
