secret of Monkey Island WHDload. load error

13 July 2012, 16:16

Hey Guys'nGals. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this load error when attempting to load a save game.

"Reading unknown struct 0 from saveload"

really looking foreword to playing this for the first time. I didn't have the mem expansion in my Ami 500 to play it back in the day.

Hardware:

amiga 1200, Apollo 1230/42 card.

Thanx!

Was there ever any solution to this? I get the same error, using the whd version from whdownload.com.

The solution would be that I update the install. Because if the game was incorrectly installed, you could run into trouble.

Also, there was probably a lot of OS-flashing when saving.

Adding to my TODO list (that's not a big issue, I think I did that same thing for some other game recently, just have to remember which it was)

update: found the other game (was ... Secret of monkey island II

), so will be easy to adapt. Now stumbled on access fault... just a small hiccup.

Doesn't the unprotected release load from your HD ?
Or does it suffer from bugs that are fixed with WHDLoad ?

all releases load, but the savegame is a tricky part, because whdload flashes like hell if you don't buffer the writes.
