I've given a closer look at ishar 1 and ishar 2 on Falcon.
They are both "installed" on my hatari falcon hard drive in a directory
Ishar_1 and Ishar_2.
When I launch them, the program loop forever in these lines :
[...]
The Trap BIOS 7 is : get floppy disk boot sector. This means that a
floppy disk has to be present in the floppy disk drive.
So, the problem with Ishar 1 and Ishar 2 is absolutely not a problem of
Videl or cycles or whatever but just that the games should be on floppy
disks and not on the hard drive.
(From what I understand of the problem).
Can someone confirm ?
There are few programs with which it's enough to have some
disk in floppy drive, but otherwise they work fine from
hard disk.
Do your Ishar 1 & 2 work from HD with Mercurial tip version
of Hatari if you have (e.g. empty) floppy in?
And do they freeze with Hatari 2.0 & earlier even in that case
(i.e. did they also have the Videl address counter issue, so
that I can properly update docs)?
