Looks really nice but the code (at least the file loader) doesn't appear to be reliable, on my 1.3 A500 (512k/512k) it simply freezes when trying to load a new tune, on my 060 A4000 is loads something but doesn't replay anything. Too busy right now to dig deeper.

Thank for the feedback
Quick look at the code revealed that you are loading the tunes to $50000 which may one reason for causing the problems as the excutable could be loaded anywhere in chip memory. Please fix the code to either properly allocate memory for the tunes or simply use a large BSS buffer. But refrain from using absolute addresses when the executable is a standard Amiga DOS executable which can be loaded and relocated anywhere in memory.
Thx StingRay..
You're welcome. :) I may code a little patch which fixes the problems, no promise though. Should I do it, I'll make the source available so you can have a look what I did.
I saw the problem, I will fix it, I have asked the admin to remove this prod for the moment. Thanks again StingRay
Deleting/removing the music disk is not necessary IMHO. Anyway, I couldn't help it and started the patch code. :)
I'll allocate memory properly and review the code. I am on Winuae, not always easy to see the problems with an emulator.
I'll repost when it's ok.
Many thx StingRay.

Many thx StingRay.
I have finishe the patch, the tunes are now replayer properly on my 68060 A4000. For this I had to recode the CIA interrupt handling. I also fixed the CPU dependent DMA waits in the replayer and fixed the absolute address problems (memory for the tunes is now allocated properly). I didn't fix the loading problem on 1.3 machines, too tired now. Will do that probably tomorrow. Source for the patch can be found on my Github: RetroCity_Patch.s.
Fixed music disk can be found on my FTP: RetroCity2020_Fixed.adf.

It's great stingstay, you have to credit yourself with in the startup-sequence. I will look at the loading problem too.
I tried the version updated by StingRay (thks) on an A500 3.1
I like a lot the parallax scrolls with the "rainbow". Very OCS.
The musics are not chip musics (a bit change compared to the main recent prods).
Nice !

Thx Aghnar ! Yes yes, big thx to Stingwait.
Nice production, very great musics, i like the graphics and parallax scrollers. No problem on my A1200, winuae it also works. Good job
Nice prod, with enjoyable colorscheme

"StingRay" not Stingwait sorry, tired :(
Thx Ok3ano and DaveBaud for your feedback :)
I have improved the patch, the file loading now works on 1.3 machines. I have also added quite a few blitter waits. Source and disk image can be downloaded from the same location I mentioned in my comment above.
Many thanks to StingRay, thanks for spending a lot of time on this prod.
I think one of the problems is caused by my music. NLK had to find some tips to make the music play at the right speed.
Indeed I use specific tempos which work in CIA mode and not in VBLANK mode. Because in VLBANK the music was either accelerated or slowed down.
For example, with the fix there is music N ° 2 which is played faster.
Thanks to everyone who liked this production despite the display and loading issues. The next we will only use real hardware to be sure everything will be correct :)

Can you give me the name of a tune which is played too fast, please? Or are all replayed too fast?
Sure : Between Us, Sidewalk Mouth, Mystery Box are so fast.
Metamorphose is slightly faster but I like it
And Savage Cat is too slow
Night Of The Hunter slightly slower: the drum sample ends before the next one
Weird is perfect (no Fxx function in my pattern)
thank you StingRay for your help, i know you worked a lot on other fixes: I saw your profile on http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/

love them tunes...
nice scrolling & colors
not fond of the Chaos Engine's font rip, but, hey, OK...
La Nuit du Chasseur by Alex, woah, this one could have ended up in a classic Amiga OCS demo :)

Cool tracks, nice compos in varied styles using many classic samples.
Thx to StingRay for the patch, I will correct in my code.
Fine looks with interesting tunes.

Confirmed. I'll fix that.

My pleasure. :) This musc disk is really nice (looks and sounds great) so it is fun trying to make it work properly. :)
I have fixed the tempo problems, the tunes should now hopefully be replayed with correct speed. Source and disk image links updated accordingly.
that's great StayRay, do you have an email where i can reach you ?

Thx :)
Piggy because of StinkRay support. Show something more ambitious Stinky. More ambitious than support to music disk (added as your own prod).

Do i get it correctly if i assume you gave it worse rating because Sting made it work? One of the most retarded things i have seen if that's so. Also i don't know who added Sting credits but it could have been anyone.

Yes you did :-) After my comment you have removed it from list of your prods :-) Have a good day!

This was never added as any of my prods. It has been added by the Fanatic2k members who created it. The credits (which I now have indeed removed) said that additional code for 1.x and 680x0 compatibility was done by me. And this was neither wrong nor claiming that I had made the music disk!

@Nlk
@Alex Menchi
I like it.
A recommendation: a production must be always tested on real Amiga before release, at least the system that is your target.
Only relying on a software emulator is not good enough.

@AlienTech
thank you :) We were too optimistic and we learned that the emulation was not perfect. the next production will be tested correctly

Good(!) job Fanatic2k.
Even if some gfx (blue charset for ex) is not too coherent, I like your prod.
Keep them coming in 2021.
Sidenote.
Amazing how SR helped the dudes to make it work better.
Amazing how Enter bashes a helpful hand, with no reason.
Life still amazes me... ;)

Very nice looking and sounding disk. Good work by all.
Love the city background and pretty cool tunes to. Nice vibe overall.
Nice zik disk! The classic design makes me all warm and fuzzy and I especially like the funky Metamorphose.
thanking yourself for the feedback mr nik? ahahaha

What is the issue, Havoc? Davebaud is my friend, we are a couple, she follows Fnc2k, tests on her machine, and leaves a comment. Can you tell me what the problem is? She will even participate in the next music disk! So if you have an issue, I invite you to write to me at nlk (@) omline.net. Also, is IP collection allowed here?

Again !
Dear Havoc,
It's normal that the IP address is the same, we live under the same roof. I am NLK (Olivier) partner. If I want to congratulate him or test his productions, what's the problem? Your reaction is incredible. Since you have access to the user account, I invite you to contact me by email, and I will provide you with my phone number so we can talk.
I am going to participate in the upcoming intro of Fanatic2k does that bother you too?
Best regards,
Davebaud (Francine)
Yes it is nice, everything, well done.
