Genesia - WHDLoad - How to save?

mailman · 06 October 2007, 19:25

I read the readme file and according to this I:

1. Run the setup.
2. Answered "NO" when the game prompted me to choose if my game is installed (as it is in readme)
3. I chose "FLOPPY" as a destination for saves (Actually there was nothing more to choose than this - it is also written in readme to do so)
4. I started the game.

Now, when I want to save a game the red screen appears and I see the text saying that I should unprotect my savegame disk.

Did anyone experience something similiar? How to handle with this?

I have simply copied what Genesia Info reports on the whdload.de site:

"When you save your games, always choose to save games to/from harddisk, NOT FLOPPY"

Yeah, you are right. I mixed it up a bit but still, I cannot save because the game is not giving me other option than FLOOPY to save.

mailman · 07 October 2007, 17:04

I checked everything, step by step.

1. First question is about installation. When I answer YES, the program asks me to enter path where the game should be installed. I assume this is wrong answer and I should answer NO (as it is stated in the readme file). So I answered NO.

2. Second step is configuration of the game (difficulty level, entering your name, world generating and stuff). One of the questions concern information about booting up the game. The options are FLOPPY DISK and HARD DISK. HARD DISK is crossed out and the only available is FLOPPY DISK. So, according to the readme file, it is wrong. How to change it to HARD DISK then?

Any help? Does anyone play this game using WHDLoad?

Bump?

Something wrong with v1.4 of the slave, wouldn't come out of the configuration screen, and hence not make a config so the game wouldn't load without it, i reverted back to v1.3 and it works no problem (with the privilege violation (as noted as fixed in v1.4), but it broke something else!)

Yeah, the quitkey doesn't work on 1.4 slave, so the config won't save unless NoWriteCache option is used.

Hi,

I never could get Genesia working with slave v1.4 on my A1200 with Blizzard1260. That is configuration you're running this game?
I'm looking for slave 1.3 to try it, but couldn't find it so far.
