  • Trouble with Shanghai

    From John@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 30 14:06:21 2024
    Paul Vigay's Shanghai is crashing on me and locking up my
    RockyRAID.

    I first noticed a problem when trying to adjust the tile
    spacing but recently just opening it can cause the video to
    blank and come back a couple of times before the machine
    locks up.

    I've tried using Reporter to see if anything shows but I
    can't see anything in the output. That might be because
    I've not set the correct options in Reporter.

    If anyone has any idea as to what might have gone wrong,
    I'd be grateful for any help.

    Try David Chapman's implementation:
    http://www.vigay.com/software/shanghai.html

    You will need to replace the sound modules with
    Colin Ferris' versions (which I can provide).

    Thanks Stewart but the link to David's page yields:

    Thanks anyway.

    Not really a big surprise... :-)

    That seems to link to a valid archive of version 1.06.

    Yes, it is, thanks.

    Just found the original xchange with Colin (2015);
    he says "The ColourMap seemed to just needed the
    32bit flag set" - so it seems we need that as well!

    Thanks, Steve.

    The game plays without blowing up but it'll take me some
    time to get used to the classic tiles.
