some help please. It is a long time since i used winuae and aiab. I have it all up and running, my problem is that i forget how to install hdf files on to hd-games folder in aiab. assistance appreciated.

HDF files have to be added as additional hard disks.

Get KG's WHDload packs if you like to run a lot of games from HD.

But I would reccomend you to use ClassicWB with those packs.

It might not be eye candy as AIAB, but it has much more functionality then any other packs, and works great on real hardware!!!

i downloaded on of the whdload packs, can you please tell me how to install it onto my hd-games folder in aiab.

You have to anarchive all those zip files in GAMES hd folder in AIAB folder of your hard disk. (browse until you find games folder)

Note that some games will not work as on real Amiga you can have * and other signs inside file names, and windows doesn't support that.

Well they will if he unpacks them within AIAB

AIAB uses windows folders as drives. You sure they will work that way???

Yeah it'll work fine. I use windows folders for all my whdload stuff.

WinUAE has a workaround by creating files (usually called something like __UAE___) that contain information which WinUAE uses to figure out the correct filenames of the files in the directory.

Oh, I see. So as long as you unzip files inside of emulation (in this case AIAB) it will work.

Didn't know that. Thanks!
