blitz99 & Blitz2k not working (not just slow!!)

**cquealy** · February 14, 2008

I'm running a Dual Core E6850 3.0 GHz so I thought I would give blitz a try to see how the speedy it ran (before I try overclocking). Original Blitz runs at 75% but Blitz99 & Blitz2k stop working right after the team select screen. I tried with several versions of mame(mamep .118, mamepp 123, mame32gui) and they all crash. Has anyone gotten these roms to work (even though they woudl run slow)

see below the errors...

Now a question I am qualified to answer Ok first and foremost I have two E6850 based cabs and a Quad 6600 at work. My E6850 machines are O'Cd to 3.8GHz and my Quad is O'Cd to 3.6Ghz. To get these games to play nicely you first need to upgrade your OS to either Vista 64 bit or XP 64 bit and run a 64 bit build of Mame. With fine tuned overclocking you get a playable result on these and a few other CHD games. As far as the errors go I dunno why you are getting them. Maybe it is a video card issue? I really can't say but these games have always played chopped and screwed for me until I upgraded. Hope I helped

The blitz 99 game crashes mame for me also.

Id submit a bug to mame testers.

Really? What OS do you have and what build of Mame are you using? I've been playing 2000 gold edition. I'ma try 99 right now.

Ok I am running Ultimate Vista 64 using Mamev123u1 and I played a whole game of Blitz99 with no crash.

Ok but what I don't know is what build of Mame are you using? version number and whether it is 32 or 64 bit. Currently I am only using 64 bit. There was a bug in 122u8 where the seattle games were not working but it is fixed in 123.

**Nologic** · February 15, 2008

hmm well I have 122 and games here in Seattle seem to be working just fine.

**bkenobi** · February 15, 2008

Nice job, I was able to resist it for this long and you go and ruin it...tisk tisk <_<

**Nologic** · February 15, 2008

hehe...well it was just begging for a smart ass remark from someone here in Jet City.

The bug was introduced in 122u8 and fixed in 123 (seattle.c0122u8red)

I'm having the exact same problem. The original Blitz works but Blitz99 and Blitz2k do not. I've tried both 122 and 123. I'm running Vista SP1 if that helps. Blitz 2K did work in a really old (.90) version of mame but there have been obvious improvements in speed since then so I'm hoping to get it running on the newest version of MAME.

Here's the error I get:

C:\MAME\MameUI32>mame blitz2k

-----------------------------------------------------

Exception at EIP=0D878DAF: ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION

-----------------------------------------------------

EAX=C50A3E0F EBX=0022FC58 ECX=00000000 EDX=0022FC4C

ESI=3D7CFE00 EDI=BC694982 EBP=00000063 ESP=0022FC4C

Again this occurs AFTER the matchup screen just before the game shows the field/kickoff.

Thanks for any insight/advice!!!

I'm too lazy today to check anything before I post, but have you checked your rom to see if its version .123?

(there may not even be a .123 version, that's where the laziness comes in on my part)

Mame 123u4 is out

**Tempest** · March 9, 2008

Mame 123u4 is out

I didn't know if there was a .123 version of the Blitz99, Blitz2k roms.....I thought maybe JayBTV might still be using his roms from Mame .90. It was just a suggestion.

Oh no I meant Mame 123u4 the emu is out.. From what I understand the roms have not been redumped since the were released. The thread used to be about mame crashing when these roms were run.. It wasnt an issue of the rom itself just a bug introduced in a few newer mame builds... they do break stuff from time to time.

Gotcha....That's where me being lazy came in, I didn't want to take the time to see if a new rom version was out. But I had enough energy to make three posts about it :lol:

Well they work for me. what OS are you running? is it 64 bit?

Nah - Vista SP1 x32 ( 2.4ghz Quad 6600 / GeForce 8500).......I'll try posting on the MAME forum later but I'll probably get flammed

I don't have any 32 bit Vista installs sorry. But for the record I get no errors on my 32 bit XP. it just plays chopped & screwed

Well I PMed cquealy to see if he had figured out a solution. He said if you wait until after the game intro plays (where it shows actually game footage) the game will load and play w/o crashing. So I tried that and sure enough it works fine (60 to 70% speed but still works).

Wierd how letting it run through the demo makes a difference.

Either way my thanks to him for getting it running (kinda) ;-)

**JayBTV** · March 10, 2008

BTW I found this issue is w/ the mame-testers: http://mametesters.org/mantis/view.php?id=974

One other quick question on Blitz2k for those who can get it working. When you enter the games audit menu (F2) are all of the options under adjustments/additional adjustments jumbled and overlapping? Each option appear a number of times and the text overlaps on my side. If I try to change options it says they're invalid. The only ones I can change are clock speed and difficulty.

At first I thought this setup issue might be causing the crash problem but the adjustment menu is fine in '99.

If a few people have this problem I'll submit it.

Thanks!

I didn't know that's what you were talking about. Otherwise I would have told you that myself you posted some kind of exception error. As far as Blitz2k goes they haven't fixed the dipswitches totally. It is playable you just don't have dipswitches. I posted on mametesters as to why when you put in your initials you only play the same three teams.

**cquealy** · March 10, 2008

I founda work around for the two blitz games not working... If you let teh demo play thru until actual game footage starts to play, they work.

Strange but true...

If you don't want to wait press turbo till the demo gets there. then insert credits and play
