Multiple issues with 20210404 release #3

Closed bootsector closed 3 years ago

bootsector commented 3 years ago

Core release: 20210404 Using latest VHD

Basically I'm getting wrong file listinsg from VHD directories. That makes loading games impossible. Sometimes when game directory listing is correct, game crashes with garbled graphics (Delta's Shadow).

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

try this: ZXNext.zip

bootsector commented 3 years ago

This one worked! Thanks!

I've had to re-download the boot.vhd file as my previous one seemed to be corrupted by the 0404 release.

Delta's shadow is working on this test release, however, it's working only in 3.5Mhz mode (in previous versions it seemed to work fine up to 28Mhz).

It's not working for me. 04/04 release wasn't saving videomode, but this one just shows a black screen after the video selection screen. Previous releases were working fine.

@vanfanel did you restore your SD/VHD? My VHD got corrupted by yesterday's release and I had to re-download it.

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

i found some more issue in VHD access. I need some time to re-work it.

Yes I did.

@sorgelig Ok, I will keep testing new builds.

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

also make sure you've update Main!

vanfanel commented 3 years ago

@sorgelig Yes, sir. I always do! (Except when I waste your time because I forgot to, but this time I did update Main).

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

Try this version: ZXNext_2.zip Make sure you've restored VHD to version prior 0404 release as write could damage the data unfortunately.

bootsector commented 3 years ago

Delta's Shadow still not working with any speed above 3.5Mhz. Other than that, this version seems to be working fine.

vanfanel commented 3 years ago

@sorgelig After re-copying the VHD and updating, this works again. Aaaand Poogie is now working fine, it's not stuck on music loop anymore! great! :D

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

I've tried demo version of Delta Shadow - it seems working up to 28MHz

bootsector commented 3 years ago

Strange! Maybe I'm using some conflicting setting or something? :thinking:

Tried the demo as well and I've got the same issue when running retail version above 3.5Mhz:

@sorgelig you tried running the game from SD or VHD? I'm always using VHD.

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

VHD

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

try to start game at 3.5MHz then switch to 28MHz. When you switch to higher than 3.5MHz in Main menu then to to start almost any game then you will get this crash. I have no idea what's wrong. May be there is something in Next code itself. MiSTer uses latest code from Next repository which is much newer than official Next core.

bootsector commented 3 years ago

Yes, loading the game at 3.5Mhz and then pressing F8 to change speed works fine. Thanks for the tip!

Is it too difficult to add an OSD or any visual indication on what clock speed we are currently?

Thanks, Sorg!

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

Just tried old boot.vhd with older firmware. guess what? It loads game fine on 28MHz. So, it's Next firmware/OS bug. Need to ask Next team if they have up to date firmware without this bug. Their firmware/core/os compatibility is a nightmare... Unfortunately they aren't on github. They use gitlab where i'm not present (and have no intention to).

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

i will add display of current speed

bootsector commented 3 years ago

Thanks for being awesome!!!

sorgelig commented 3 years ago

New release

vanfanel commented 3 years ago

Running to my nearest MiSTer to test! :dancing_men:
