Hypersports problem - freezes before 1st event?

I am using Fuse on Mac OSX, have tried a few of the available Hypersports in the archive now, but each one appears fine until I start the first event, it freezes on swimming, anyone else encountered this?

    I have checked this and it appears indeed that Hyper Sports doesn't work with Fuse 0.7.0.1 on MacOS X 10.3.8. Loading goes fine, but just when the first event (swimming) is about to start it crashes. Although I have been able to play Hyper Sports with previous versions of Fuse...

    Thanks for the reply Paul.

    Shame, will have to try another emulator as that's probably my all time fave game.

    That sounds like a bug then :(

    Could you tell me which (if any) of the older versions available from the project page it does work with?

    Just checked some legacy versions:
    0.7.0 - negative, Hyper Sports crashes just like in the current version
    0.6.2.1 - positive, Hyper Sports plays well

    Have tried Hypersports with this emulator too - zxsp 0.6.2 - MacOSX 10.3 it starts loading but you get a R type loading error near the end, ironically I thought my days of those messages were long gone ;)

    Phil is the author of Fuse and therefore I tested legacy version of Fuse. Funnily enough there's also an 0.6.2 version of ZXSP but this is not what I tested. Try Fuse 0.6.2.1 and you'll see that it'll work. :)

    Oh, and I've encountered some Tape Loading Errors on ZXSP too. Unbelievable how far some emulator authors get to replicate the authentic machine..! ;)

    Try Fuse 0.6.2.1

    Where can I download that version from?

    There's a subtle hint somewhere in this thread...

    A quick bit of investigation reveals that the "improved" retriggered interrupt code in 0.7.0 is what's causing this problem.

    If you're compiling from source, you can (bodge) fix this by changing the "tstates < 48" test in z80/z80.c:z80_interrupt() to (say) "tstates < 37", but I don't yet have an accurate value for how long the ULA holds /INT low for on the various models. Anyone?

    FWIW, this is now fixed in Fuse's CVS. Thanks to Indigo for reporting the problem and Woody, Jon Needle and Ramsoft for the correct timings.
