Re: [hatari-devel] Falcon demos tests : part 1

[Laurent Sallafranque <laurent.sallafranque@xxxxxxx>]

Finally, I've taken some time now to test with hatari 1.4.

Bound4 : no change between the 2 versions of hatari (but I'm pretty sure 
I've seen a version of all bounds demos working with a previous version 
of hatari)


Bound 5 under hatari 1.4 : it displays a logo "Bound 5"  and then a 
picture with an animal appears and the demo start to play a music (but 
no bounding ball). I didn't have to press any key between the logo 
screen and the animal + music screen.


With current version of hatari : I first thought it was freezed on a 
white screen with pixels garbage, but after 1 minute or so, the picture 
with the logo "Bound 5" appeared. It never switched to the animal image 
and there's no music played (and no bounding ball).

I've tested another time, the logo screen appeared after 3 or 4 minutes 
(I pressed "Space" and "Enter" at least 2 or 3 minutes before, so I 
don't know if this is needed to have the logo displayed, I think it's 
not necessary). It seems to never go to the animal + music screen

It looks like a timing or a trigger behave differently with the 2 
versions of hatari.
