hamakei 2016-11-20 18:18 reporter note ~05353	Should also add that "NOCACHE" makes no difference

StingRay 2016-12-20 19:21 developer note ~05378	Patch updated to v1.3, timing fixed, wrong DDFSTOP in one version fixed, new install script

hamakei 2016-12-20 21:05 reporter note ~05382	Sorry...but the new version seems to have a different bug... It installs fine and runs...but when the fire button is pressed, the music stops, the screen switches to the title screen, and a couple of seconds later crashes to Workbench with the error: Exception "Illegal Instruction" ($10) at $12810 occured Untitled.png (56,448 bytes) Untitled.png (56,448 bytes)

hamakei 2016-12-20 21:06 reporter note ~05383	New error - install now completely unplayable (see note for details)

StingRay 2016-12-20 21:42 developer note ~05384	Which version did you install? I have tested the new patch with SPS 15 and SPS 2038 and did not encounter any problems.

hamakei 2016-12-20 21:51 reporter note ~05385	1.3 taken from http://www.whdload.de/games/Exolon.lha uploaded today.

StingRay 2016-12-20 22:03 developer note ~05386	I do not mean the patch. I need to know which version of the game you have installed. Can you attach your disk.1 file here?

hamakei 2016-12-20 22:12 reporter note ~05387	Oh, sorry. I've tried it with a couple of different images... I think they're different but to be honest I'm not sure. Hmm....keeps saying the file is too big to upload, but it's only 156.4k in size... It was from this - http://www.whdownload.com/games/Pack-E-2007-01-30/Exolon_v1.2_0015.zip I tried just swapping the slaves over, but that didn't work so I thought I should reinstall the game so I grabbed an ADF from somewhere else and installed from scratch....same error. It's possible the ADF was the same version of the game used in that install from whdownload, but I couldn't tell.

StingRay 2016-12-20 22:16 developer note ~05388 Last edited: 2016-12-20 22:16	Reinstalling is not necessary, just replacing the slave is enough. What does "did not work" mean exactly?

hamakei 2016-12-20 22:18 reporter note ~05389	Hmm...using that pre-packed install and overwriting the slave with the new version 1.3 seems to work fine. Sorry about that - must have been a glitch when I was imaging the disk or something...

StingRay 2016-12-20 22:34 developer note ~05390	I will close this then as I have just checked the patch with the image you attached and it works fine.

hamakei 2016-12-20 22:37 reporter note ~05391	Thank you so much for taking the time to modify this years old patch... I really appreciate it!

StingRay 2016-12-20 22:41 developer note ~05392	My pleasure. :)
