I have tried downloading the winuae for beginners but there is no a4000 powerconfig included in the file????i cant get any of these to work using winuae on the pc,help

[Arnie]

Not much info to go on HELP.

What's not working?

Have you got the required kickstart files?

[Help]

Yes i have everything that is needed,when i download the winuae wb to use with winuae on my pc i follow the instructions but it says that i need to use profile A4000power,but its not there so the installation procedure is wrong or there is a file missing.....
How do i add WHDload the wb install on winuae assuming that i have got the wb install pack to work?
thanks

[Help]

can anybody help

[Arnie]

Can you post a link for the files you downloaded?

[Bloodwych]

I do need to update those instructions, as I replaced the "A4000 power config" with "Run Me First then delete" and "Run Me Second then delete" configs.

However the install procedure is the same. Unpack the file, drop a kickstart 3.0 or 3.1 file into the roms folder and rename it "kick3.rom".

Start WinUAE, select "Paths" from the left hand menu and click "Reset to defaults" and "Rescan ROMS".

Check the paths for various WinUAE folders are correctly pointing to the WinUAE ClassicWB folder and double click the configs mentioned above (Run Me First, Run Me second)

[Help]

ok thanks,i also noticed that the green alien WB pack config says use kickstart 2.0,this is wrong and it wont work,you need to use kickstart 2.04 for it to work.Took me hrs to realise this.

Right i now have all the WHDload packs,can somebody link me to a tutorial or explain how to install these packs please?

This is the problem im getting....


When i follow these instructions

temporaraly rename one of your partitions to programs.


or assign programs to a drawer on a partition on your drive.

Or just use the proper folder name at the end of the lha command...

[Help]

Guys can you explain how to do what you say please as you talk in riddles to somebody like myself who dont know what your talking about,ive spent days fucking around with this and its very annoying.

I tried this and this is what i got,another failure,i renamed my system drive on workbench top to programs as you can see


This is where whdload is installed on my drive.
C:\Program Files (x86)\WinUAE\hard disks\programs
What do i need to type?
Thanks

oh yeah how do i tranfer files from Dopus from my hardrive on my pc do i need to make a hardrive and point it at my pc hardrive like i have done here in this picture?(WHD games)?

How do i make a folder on workbench desktop?

[roy bates]

ok.

run dopus first,and try to think as though you where using a real amiga not doing anything on the pc side.this part is important.and remember your partition names.

then find on your drive the archive in the left window in dopus.

then click in the right window and click on the drive where you want the archive to de-compress to using the buttons on the bottom left of the screen.(by default its set to ram)

then go back to the left window and highlight the archive,it should be in black at this point.(you just left click it once)

then click on a button marked "arc ext"and you should see a window come up with the archive unarchiving into the drive or drawer you chose in the right window.tadaa job done.

[Help]

thanks roy that works great thanks for your help mate

[roy bates]

no probs,it does get frustrating sometimes.

[roy bates]

ive just read your edit.


to copy files across you dont really need dopus, its just drag and drop mate in workbench just like you would do it on a pc.
but...if you use dopus just do what you did to unarchive ,but on the last step use the copy button


as for the last question im not sure what you mean,if you mean have a drawer show on screen without opening a partition,then just make a drawer inside a partition then drag it to the screen and snapshot it.just like you would if it was most programme files.


p.s ,dont forget to rename your drive back to what it was,just incase your startup sequence points to a drive that now dont exist.

[Help]

Ah cool i didnt know you could drag items from my own pc to the workbench.

I have tried to create a 1TB drive within workbench using winuae but it only goes up to 500mb i think is there anyway to make this bigger?
Thanks

Hi Help. Just a question: Are you changing your name or always asking for Help? Just a friendly question . You will like this forum...

[Help]

I will change it once i sort this out.
I have tried to put all my games onto my amiga install from WHD packs but im running out of hardrive space fast,is there anyway i can increase it to a huge amount?
Also how do i make directorys dh3 dh4 dh5 etc in Dopus?
thanks

[roy bates]

i have a 10 gig setup in winuae(i dont use it much as i have real amigas)it uses sfs filesystem.

for the most part you wont need a drive bigger than 4gig for all the whdload games.

you setup a drive in winuae then partition it into segments,and have a 500mb partition for the boot and say a work partition then a games partition.(for the most part you would do it just like a real amiga)



have you ever had a real amiga before?,it helps.

You can't with dopus. First, if you are using a Pc you have to "make" a "hardrive" making it as larger as you want, and you don't wan't directorys, but partitions, and you can make it with the 3.1 Install hdf (floppy) using HDinstall.

Or what you can do is to install a Classic Workbench and later you can add any new directory (F12...Hardrives...Add directory or archive) you want. You can select any of your pc. Then press reset. Later if you like it you can press again F12, configurations and save it all. Next time you want to use it you load the configuration.
