Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles WHDload not working

hipoonios · 03 April 2011, 00:33

Hi, I have downloaded the HD-installer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (link) and I have the latest version of WHDload and it's registered.

I've installed a lot of games and they all work fine, except this game. I start he HD-installer and it copies the files from the disks, no complaints on the way. When done it looks like this:

But when starting the game, it shows the usual WHDload window, then begins running the game where I just get a black screen for a few seconds then returns to WB with this message:

I've tried 3 different versions of this 3 disk version of Turtles. One cracked by unknown cracker, one cracked by Triad and the final one which is the CAPS version. All 3 gives the same error.

Sure, I can just copy all the files from the disks to the HD and run it fine without the help of WHDload, but I wanted to use the WHDload approach.

I also downloaded and tried to install an old version of WHDload (15) as this seems to be around the time the HD-installer was made... but couldn't get it to install properly.

Theres 2 turtles games one by Konami and the other by Ultra Games Worldwide - are you sure your using the correct version -Dont use cracked versions to install.
Or download the game preinstalled

Have you tried the pre-installed version?

I know of all versions and only one of them is called "Ninja" and only one version is on 3 disks, this is the one I'm using. I have the right installer for the right game and I have the right disks. And I know not to use cracked versions but like I said before, it made no difference. CAPS is not cracked and that's the first version I tried, and as that didn't work I tried two other versions which were cracked.

Nope, but now I'm gonna

Ok, pre-installed version worked, why won't the HD-installed from WHDload work? as I clearly have the right HD-installer and game disks, no doubt about it.

Well, the WHDLoad install by KG doesn't use the SPS release. Seems like it wasn't available when the install was made, so for the WHDLoad installer it's an 'unsupported' version. Raise a ticket on the Mantis tracker

Most other games have no problem with cracked versions as I've tried installing some (just experimental, I know to use ipf/sps which I do)... but this one didn't like any of the 3 versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I found... which is weird.

Well, the slave is quite old and was most likely created directly from an image of the original disks. Psygore is still active, so a note that the install fails with the SPS release wouldn't hurt I guess.

Ok

Fair enough this is the same reply I would get if I asked. I wonder what you think of the two convertions to me there both naff compared to the NES version

They are both horrible compared to the nes version. Worst is the lame speed the versions on Amiga got, like it's moving in 10 frames per second. The Hero version only has ONE ingame tune through the entire game and lacks alot of sound effect but has a bit more coloring going on. The Ninja version has all tunes from nes I think and way more sound. But both play horrible. A pain to jump in Ninja version as you need to hold fire and release to jump, to attack you need to press fire and quickly release. Here's the Hero version I uploaded today:

I might do this Ninja version next, but Ironclaw said he wants to do it so we both have done one each

, we'll see.
