C16 Giana Sisters

Unread post by Stinky »

I've had some trouble trying to run this port on the C16 core. Anyone had success/can confirm before I flag it?

The MiST core needed an update to run Giana Sisters, it is a safe bet the MiSTer core would also need one.

The loader for the game tries to identify what emulator you are using and seems to hang. I am not sure how it runs on a real machine for comparison but if you want to at least get into the game, don't load the first program, load MI instead:

Code: Select all

LOAD "MI",8,1

It will take a while...you should see the led on mister stay on for a while.

Thanks, that works for me. But the loading took realy long.
Very good port for C16 / Plus4.
Not thought that the TED could do such cool things.

Hmm, with C16 mode i get then an error that the game data is corrupt. Cant start a game.
I am tried the Plus4 Mode, but that seems the same.

Yup. Looks like it relies on the loader...which isn't working :(

I've not tried it yet, but the c16 core was updated on the 12th, 2 days ago. Might fix it, might not, but if so, let's us know. Thanks!

Just to add it's just the code that's been updated, so no rbf yet. But if anyone can compile it, and post it as a test version?

Oh yeah Sorgelig fixed it, still needs the mwin rbf but works as expected. Try it out here.

Well spotted! I just saw that the source had been updated, I didn't see the test download attached to the issue. Thanks, and of course thanks to Sorg!!
