Summary0002110: If the Ball is in a locked Situation, the table doesn't shot it back (for example: in the KickBack on Stones n' Bones)
DescriptionI explain the problem on the table "stones n' bones". But the problem appears on all the other tables, too.

If i shot the ball into a locked situation, like the "kickback/ vault", the "tower" or the "well", the ball doesn't get shot back from there. I can only tilt the table completely and play with a new ball. This problem is not there with everey shot into the kickback/ vault/ tower/ well. It comes up at random.

Theres no error-message from whdload, so i can't make a core-dump or anything.
Additional InformationTheres a thread about this bug, on the english amiga board:
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=36535

But this was on the aga-version and it seems, that this guy solved the problem with a new install (i don't understand all the text, because my english is very bad)

Actually i'm using an installation, wich was created with install 2.6b.

My A500 is running in a micronik-tower with the busboard 6720 and an apollo 2030 turboboard (someone told me, that this is not a very stable system, but i don't have any other problems with whdload-installs).

In my opinion this is game's problem and not slave's problem. On the other hand, slaves for Pinball Fantasies ECS do not like 68040.

I'm playing the game very often from floppy disk. There are no problems with the game. It runs without errors.

I don't have a 68040 but theres a 68030 working in my system.

It does not prove anything. There are many games about which creator's of the slaves say that it is a miracle that the game really works on real Amiga.

I fixed the problem for CD32/AGA version: the game does not like 32-bit fastmem. It uses the highest byte of some words to store information.

I have made a hack to fix HSB on-the-fly. It works with most memory configs, but not the ones where HSB > 0x7F

I don't think I'll fix the floppy ECS version, but if someone wants to test the game with EXPCHIP set in whdload and tells me if it works better, maybe I'll re-release a chip-only version.
