Graphical errors in Amiga 500 .exe roms

Postby Dragon Mech » Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:23 pm

i downloaded Arkanoid_-_Revenge_of_Doh_(1988)(Imagine)[cr_Trilogy].exe and Battleships_(1987)(Elite)[cr_Movers].exe and placed them in a folder that i mounted in the emulator (i'm using WINUAE v2.0.1).
as far as executing the programs, they work just fine. but when playing them i noticed some graphical errors in both games. here are some screenshots of the errors.

here is the battle screen from Battleships_(1987)(Elite)[cr_Movers].exe

when i play games from .adf disk images file they work fine. i've tried changing the video setting in the emulator but all that did was to slow down the emulator to a crawl. here are the specs of my machine

I am not sure why but I always use the ADF images.

Maybe you should try upgrading to WINUAE 2.5.1? Unless WINUAE 2.0.1 is the highest you can go on your system? Or maybe install fs-uae which focuses on emulating Amiga games using the accurate emulation code from WinUAE. :)

thanks everyone for your advice. version 2.0.1 is the latest version that windows 2000 can run. any newer versions require winXP or higher. i did manage to get the games to work by emulating an A3000 machine. but my real computer is having a tough time emulating the A500. logic would suggest that if i am having this much trouble running winuae, i would have just as much trouble (if not more) with FS-UAE.
