MiSTer FPGA Forum

Just been playing Tearaway Thomas for the first time on my MiSTer. Unfortunately the game was glitching a bit in the graphics department. Can anyone else give it a try to see if the have the same problem please?

Yep same here. Did you check under UAE ?
It is a very old whdload slave (2000 !).

The floppy version in A500 mode runs ok. Could be one of the WHDLoad-too-fast or A1200 side related problems.

No I didn’t check UAE. Good news that the floppy version runs fine though

There are many games that have graphical glithces when started with WHDLOAD on a machine from the one expected by the game. But many got fixed throughout the years... And this one is 20+ years old !

So I'm pretty confident at this stage 99+% of the time, those issues are not due to the Minimig core (provided you disable the D-CACHE option).

Once checked, if the whdload slave is indeed the culprit, could you please file a bug here : http://mantis.whdload.de/main_page.php ?

If you cannot test, let me know, I'll do it.

I probably won’t get a chance to test until the end of the week I’m afraid.

Oh man, there is NO graphical glitch under UAE / 020 / AGA (so same config), with the very same hardfiles as on the MiSTer.

Could you file a bug here instead then ? https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Minimig ... Ter/issues

UAE is one thing, but it'd be best to test it on real hardware to make sure. Sometimes these WHDload installs have fixes for emulation. I might drag my WHD-capable A500 out later and see how it behaves there...

You're right, I remember encountering graphical glitches in Jim Power on my real A1200 and not under UAE...
So, let us know when you figure this out

It works fine loading from WHDLoad on my A500. So, I guess now to cover all the bases somebody with a real A1200 should give it a whirl.

(In any case, it was a good excuse to shove those pesky consoles to one side of the desk and reinstate the rightful Queen there

If I get a chance this weekend I’ll get my A1200 out of storage and give it a try.

Just tried on A1200 with 060 and I am seeing gfx glitches around the big bear sprites.
Played 3 levels and did not see anything else wrong.
I also tried a few WHDLoad config options such as NoCache but that did nothing.
