Red line blinking under ROM credits + saving machine issues ?
nicolasbauw opened this issue · comments
It seems my config file becomes corrupted (vAmiga says so - see screenshot below. Usually I just click on "use as default" on every single tab, but I wanted to try a specific A600 config file).
Note 1 : I saved the config file manually (Machine-> Save as) juste before quitting. When quitting, vAmiga asked a confirmation, saying machine was changed (I did not change anything since the save). After quitting, and reloading the config file, I had the message.
Note 2 : on this machine, I have 2.01 and 2.1b4. Maybe that could be a problem. I was using 2.1b4 during all the test.
With that happening, and amiga not booting, I noticed something:
A red line "dancing" under the animated floppy. That does not happen when the chipset is OCS, from what I've seen.
EDIT: with 2.01, attached drives are kept in the "untitled" machine. With 2.1b4, I have to attach them each time. I did not observe this behavior on my other mac (wich has only 2.1b4 installed). So, it is very possible there is something happening when both versions are present.
Thanks for reporting!

Yes. Snapshots are not compatible between different versions. Normally, there is a version check that should display a message telling the user that the snapshot cannot be loaded. I guess I have changed the snapshot format without modifying the version signature in the snapshot header. When this happens, the "inconsistent state" error occurs.
The dancing red line is a bug in the ECS Denise implementation. I've opened up a new issue for it (#723).
