| I would like to improve the dev. of the firebird.
Some Whdload games still do not work with Firebird. Also those games showed the same issues (crashes or behaviours) with V2 500+ back in 2017 with Gold2. You can look it up here (search for WHDload compatibility, page 2). CLICK HERE
I tried almost everything to get the following games down below to work.
First some details to my System:
Firebird V4
Latest Cores Fire_8885a and 8768 as well as 8900 (also not).
OS: Coffin R60
A500+ 2 MB chipmem
Two different power supply (there of one of Jens Schoenfeld)
Whdload prefs settings such as NoVBRMove, NoCache, ExpChip
Turtle mode on or off
Different Versions of the Game (Jaguar XJ220) from Whdownload.com
Games, that are not working:
Lotus (black screen, only race position on the left is shown, when starting the race, Firebird freezed)
Jaguar XJ220 (After starting the race, race is in 1-2 sec over,more often the Firebird crashes with red picture.Only turning off the A500 will help to restart the machine).
Hero Quest the return of the Witchlord crashes as well
All those games work with V500 V2+ Core 2.12 and same config.

| You posted this before, and many people told you before
that these games run fine for them.
What does this hint us?
Maybe some prefs are wrong?
How about you join the Discord and compare your system setting and prefs with those people that have absolutely no problems running them?
What do you think?

| Just for the audience: in discord there are up to 7 people who have the same issues and no one who has no issue. Gunnar is checking the incidence. Once I got feedback, I post it here again - hopefully a solution.

| Lotus 1 works! I installed now Apollo Boot ( hell yeah!) Trio and on that archive file on Coffin. One can checkmark with NoCache and Expchip and it starts the race! Wonderful. I will now check out Jaguar XJ220.
