 Re: Metapharstic 80% on real machines / real 1541 floppy??

@Retroshire: "1321" is the last revision.
I only had time to test the game on VICE, and the emulator crashes too...

I have very little and frammented time for testing the game on a real +4 with CPU original and not, but I'm curious to see it.

Hi Max, the number on my board is also 1321.

@xahmol thanks, it's the latest reversion.
I will be able to do some tests not before a couple of weeks,

No time to retest right now, but I also encountered with my CPU4PLUS4 that some demos do not run in its entirety.

Photo of my CPU4PLUS4. assume the written number is the serial?
(bought my Plus/4 with the replacement CPU installed)

@Retroshire,
I'm interested in knowing the version number written on the CPLD used into the CPU4PLUS4 that has problem loading Metapharstic 80%.
Please: read it and post it here, thanks!

@MCes apparently your 8501 substitute hardware got involved too.

@Luca thanks for testing. I am afraid the replacement CPU's are the problem.

Tested on real machine with a 1541-II, CAE SIDcard and a SD2IEC on serial number 9: works running like silk. Anyway that trackloader might occasionally fail, you can see little failed bytes even in the screenshots of the entry here, so probably some parts scatter few wrong values around and if you are particularly unlucky...it fails.
Apropos,I'm watching the FLI DYCP part and wow! It really deserves to be seen on real iron!

Bare Plus/4, no printer connected. Just 1541-2 or Pi1541

If you have a printer, remove it from the serial bus.

 Metapharstic 80% on real machines / real 1541 floppy??

This nice demo runs perfect in Plus4emu but not on my real machines.

I load it up with the 'load"*",8,1' command from real floppydisc with a real 1541-2 floppydrive and a Plus/4.

It freezes just before the screen with the skullls.

Also with the Pi1541, same results.
