Hi,

first, thanks for the HD-Patches by D-Buggers, Klaz and all others.  ;D

OK, I found a little bug in Stardust on my Falcon.  >:(

Stardust runs fine on my 1040 STe, TOS 1.62, 4MB, HD-Driver: Huschi (SCSI-Tools) and on my Mega STE, TOS 2.06, 4MB, HD-Driver:AHDI 6.00. Hi-Score saving is OK.

On my Falcon, TOS 4.04, 14 MB, FPU, RGB ST-Low, HD-Driver: AHDI 6.00, the intro has sound with grafic/sync errors. You can not read the text. After pressing space, the game loads and run. It's OK, you can play it. When the game will save the high-score to disk, it crashed with green screen and DMA sound errors.

OK, thats a beta-relase. Whats the problem: 14 MB? or the FPU?

I will test on my plain Falcon next weekend.
And testing on VGA?

Which intro? Cracktro or game intro? If it's the game's intro and the text is flickering, then your monitor has the notorious twinsync bug - I know, it happened to me too and thought something was bugged! (more explanations in this post).

Well, this never occurred during our testing. I'll notify Melcus about it. Are you sure you had a disk inserted in the drive and the hiscore file copied to it? Did you try without a disk in the drive?

mmmmh 25th December?

Oh, sorry. The cracktro is flickering. Game-intro and game are perfect.

Yes, blank dd disk (2 Sides, 9 Sec. 80 Tr.) with stardust.his, not writeprotected was inserted.

Right, I talked to Melcus and he has absolutely no idea why this is happening. What he (and I) can only suggest is to insert a blank write protected floppy and try it then.
