CD-I Quizard v2.2 game...
#236501 - 10/16/10 09:26 AM


Well, I am a little bit confused. I tried to run e.g. Quizard v2.2 but I was unable to enter the game past the initial configuration screen.

According to the whatsnew.txt the upper mentioned game should be working, as it was lifted to the games now running.

I have seen the warning message in the selection screen of MAME. Is there a special trick to enter the game? I tried to press F2 -> nothing. I tried rebooting with F3 but with no result.

Should the game be still unplayable?

Another question. Do these games have those Philips logos or is this visible only in MESS?



Best regards,
RetroLover

Last I checked it was still listed as not working in the latest full release of MAME. Which version of MAME are you trying to get it running on?

There was an issue in u4 where the UART wasn't properly reset to a known state at startup, so sometimes the game boots and sometimes it doesn't. (In cases where it does boot it should be playable with no further problems as Harmony's blog describes). This was fixed for 0.140.

I did have the same problem. Press Fast forward key (Insert). This works!

The trick with Fast forward works only
for normal MAME and not MAMEUI32

Well, finally I could start the game, thanks to MASH.
I am sure, MASH is playing this the whole weekend

Unfortunately my mobile equipment with Atom CPU is a little bit to slow for the game

Nevertheless, nice work from Harmony!

Though, I am still wondering where those Philips logo can be seen or has this something to do with the undumped MCU ?

Best regards,
RetroLover

Well, this is something I can overcome with

And 0.140 might be just around the corner!

The Philips logo animation you linked to is for software published by Philips. Quizard was created by TAB-Austria so obviously it has no such logo.

unlikely. emulation is the same. most probably you hit one of the random events which do not make the game start and which are equally probable in both MAME and MAMEUI...
