New to the Amiga scene, need help with updating WHDLoad

Navvy · 14 April 2020, 23:27

Hi,

this is my first post here and I am very unexperienced with late Amiga stuff.
I bought Amiga OS 3.1.4 preinstalled on a CF and successfully updated to 3.1.4.1
I learned that WHDLoad ist preinstalled, but that there's a newer version of WHDLoad available online.
So I am still sometimes a bit confused about the inner workings of 3.1.4 and want to know how to update WHDLoad.

Thank you for your help and patience!

Just download WHDLoad_usr.lha from the WHDLoad site. You'll find the latest WHDLoad version in the archive which you can simply replace your current version with.

... which can be simply done by copying the whdload executable to "C:" drawer, overwriting the old one.

I don't know if the WHDLoad installer does it but it could be a good idea to merge old and new whdload.prefs file by hand. I did it several times in the past because of new options.

If you don't have lha get http://aminet.net/util/arc/lha.run and run it and it will self extract (maybe it's included in AmigaOS 3.1.4, I don't remember).
