As you can see in the picture below, something's seriously wrong. For the people who know the game: I freed Port Fargo in Fernando of some monsters and killed Demonlord Dur in the process. I am supposed to meet Danzig at Amok. So I went there, and guess what happened: the conversation gets stuck! Obviously there's an error on the disk image I use. What have I done to resolve the problem: - I bought a disk drive for my PC to create fresh images from my original disks
- I have got two original disks 1, because the yellow one (original w/ copy protection) doesn't get thru the copy protection anymore. I resolved this a couple of years ago with Sunrise - I got a copy-protection-free blue disk 1
- I copied both the yellow and the blue disks 1 onto my PC
- I tried 'inserting' those when the game loads the savegame - all to no avail.
Who can help me?!
Bug in Danzig's conversation @ Amok, Fernando. Lost World disk 1. |

OK, the issue has been resolved. I contacted Peter Meulendijks (Umax): he sent me his disk image of disk 1. Unfortunately, it still didn't work. He tried to pass that dialog himself, and succeeded on one occasion. This type of bug is pretty random, or so it seems. Each of the 15 times I tried to pass that dialog, it didn't work, but at Peter's it worked once. He saved the game after the talk with Danzig and I could resume gameplay  So far, we have no clue what might have been causing this bug.
In any way, thanks Peter! |

Maybe your MSX has blight? Hmm, it seems you're using openMSX... Could it be an openMSX bug? Did you try other openMSX machines?

manuel: No, it's not openMSX that's causing the trouble for sure. I did try a couple of different MSX machines. Several years ago I came across the same problem with PA3, but on a real MSX I got 'fixed' disks from Sunrise, but those too didn't work for me. The ones I ripped from the MCCM CDs did work, weird enough. Maybe it has something to do with bits falling off disks orso.

The problem is the excessive shaking of the disks. Sometimes bits fall of the border, remember a disk is just like the earth - it is flat and round! If you navigate further, you fall of in the ether. Oh...I'm not feeling well this night...

Well indeed poke, but also not informing sunrise if they are aware of it.
But tomorrow I got the complaints most likely ...
