Quick help needed. In short I can load up games no problems in WinUAE - the two in question World Games and Tracksuit Manager 2 (AGA)
However when I add their profiles in Gamebase - neither will load. World Games hangs on a black screen and TM2 loads but crashes as it prepares the game - neither happens when ran independently from Gamebase.
I know the settings in GEMUS will have something to do with it. I have copied standard settings from another game (that works in Gamebase) for World Games but no joy - same with AGA settings for another working game for TM2- same thing.
Am I missing something really obvious?
My GEMUS settings for World Games reads as:
kickstart_rom=v1.2
nr_floppies=2
floppy0type=0
floppy1type=0
floppy2type=-1
floppy3type=-1
immediate_blits=false
ntsc=true
chipset=ECS
collision_level=playfields
fastmem_size=0
bogomem_size=0
chipmem_size=2
cpu_speed=real
cpu_type=68000
cpu_compatible=false
cpu_cycle_exact=false
blitter_cycle_exact=false
statefile=savestates\World Games.uss
For Tracksuit Manager 2:
kickstart_rom=v3.1 A1200
nr_floppies=3
floppy0type=0
floppy1type=0
floppy2type=0
floppy3type=-1
immediate_blits=false
ntsc=false
chipset=AGA
collision_level=playfields
fastmem_size=4
bogomem_size=0
chipmem_size=4
cpu_speed=max
finegrain_cpu_speed=max
cpu_type=68020
cpu_compatible=false
cpu_cycle_exact=false
blitter_cycle_exact=false
statefile=savestates\Tracksuit Manager 2 (AGA).uss
Help would be most appreciated.

not sure about the need to add all that in GEMUS.
But it all depends on the script and version of the game you are using.
World Games worked without anything in GEMUS using my script.
(default amiga 500 settings).
this should work..
Amiga 500
Tracksuit Manager (HF crack) Write enable disk 3.
using my script...
in your script style...
Amiga 1200

Try removing the statefile setting, that could be the main problem.

Many thanks for taking the time out to reply.
However same problem I am afraid. World Games - even with all GEMUS settings removed - still hangs on a black screen. Tracksuit Manager 2 still crashes when preparing the game.
Could it be anything to do with running an older Gamebase? I am using V1.3
Just strange when I use WinUAE separately from Gamebase - even though linked together - the 2 games above load up fine

could be the floppy drive speed settings.
If you speeded up the loading and saved the config, and your script does not reset it to 100% compatible.
check your .UAE file for the setting.
floppy_speed=100
or add this to your script
where AMIGA.UAE is your gamebase.UAE filename in the scripts folder.

Code: Select all
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||floppy_channel_mask||0xffff)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||floppy_speed||100)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||floppy_volume||33)

I feel such a noob!
I have been adding the scripts you have typed up below in GEMUS - take it that is completely wrong - I need to add them to my script?
I go into my Script folder and I have a lot of text docs named:
Amiga
Gamebase Amiga A
Gamebase Amiga B
Gamebase Amiga C
Gamebase Amiga Joystick
Gamebase Amiga XL
Gamebase Amiga XR
Hands up I aint got a fookin clue what I am doing now.
Thanks for your patience fella.

Defo a strange one - tried again - using World Games v systemz v5.0 crack
Loads up fine, green screen, black scrren then title page when loaded up on WinUAE
When on GameBase - whether GEMUS blank or entered with the above - black screen hang
Tracksuit Manager 2 AGA actually does load, but always crashes when the game is prepared after you have selected team and manager details - but again, in WinUAE outside of Gamebase - loads fine

the "v" in the file name stands for "virus" infected disk.
virus = systemz v5.0
I have uploaded my script with a clean copy of the disk.
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/8208f17a
This is setup for my gamebase paths, and it will need to be ran from here...
c:\gamebase\amiga\
extract the ZIP file to that location.
copy your "amiga gamebase.mdb" file to c:\gamebase\amiga\
and rename it to "amiga.mdb"
the main files that make it work are...
scripts\Amiga.uae (winuae config)
scripts\Amiga.txt (the main script file - read it for info)
Emulators\WinUAE2410\winuae.ini
you can edit those files in a text editor if you need to change the paths.
both of those games you mentioned write to the disk, so it might be a write enable problem.
