Hard crashes on Secret of Monkey Island - Version 8 (Talkie Edition with MT32 Audio) #49

Open rich-o opened 3 years ago

rich-o commented 3 years ago

I've had a hard crash (not able to access the F12 menu, forced reboot needed) in the same area a few times in a row now.

I'm using a MiSTer with an MT-32 Pi Hat set up for MT32 audio.

The crash occurs when in the shop on Melee Island. You buy the sword, ask the shopkeeper if he knows where you can try it out, and then the shopkeeper leaves to visit the swordmaster. If you hit the bell on the counter the shopkeeper returns - and this is where twice out of four attempts the crash has occured.

I've tried both on USB storage and on SD. One crash on each, actually.

It's quite quick to get to this point:

  1. Go to the SCUMM bar, head right to the important looking pirates
  2. wait for the chef to leave the kitchen and walk to the other room. go into the kitchen.
  3. pick up the pot
  4. leave and go back to the start area, and exit right.
  5. Go to the circus
  6. launch out of the cannon wearing the pot as a helmet. get money. yay
  7. go to the shop in melee island and buy the sword

seems this can be temporarily worked around by: setting processor speed to 30mhz disabling L1.

We should force the run script to set the options Rich mentioned so user doesn't have to worry about it.
