Hello Laurent,
That looks like (and I'm certain that it is) a palette fading routine
for the Falcon. The reason that it's probably failing is that perhaps
the Falcon palette registers (starting at $ffff9800.w) aren't updated
so the fading loop never ends. I'm not sure why this happens, but did
you run the game from ST compatible modes? Can you try launching from
256 colour mode?
Regards,
George

Hi,
I've given a closer look at reeking rumber :
I can let it run under hatari by doing the following :
Under the GEM :
b pc=$0707d8
Then, start reeking rumbler by double clicking it
hen the breakpoint is reached, just do
r d5=0
c
and the game run
Here is the corresponding code:

<------- Here is the the test that never goes throw with hatari
$0707da : 6680 bne.s $7075c
$0707dc : 4cdf 07ff movem.l (sp)+,d0-d7/a0-a2
$0707e0 : 4e75 rts
At least, the game runs under hatari except for this infinite loop that
never finishs because of this d5 register.
May this gives some ideas to somebody.
