WHDLoad on PC works fine but not on real Amiga
Hi all,
I am in need of your help please.... The problem I have and cannot understand why it's happening is as follows: Under WinUAE I set up an 8-Gig CF card and installed ClassicWB Lite (thanks Bloodwych - great packages) and have managed to install all WHDLoad games (thanks Killergorilla - great packages too) and installed the latest version of WHDLoad (V17). All works fine under WinUAE whereby games load and run as should be with no rom errors etc, however when I install the CF card into my A1200 and try to load a game, WHDLoad loads initially and then I get the dredded incorrect rom thing or rom missing (cant reember exactly the wording) and that's as far as it goes. I tried loading several games here on my work PC as I was testing everything was ok before the real Amiga installation/testing only to find the above was happening. Today I am back at work and find those games which were not working on my 1200 (rom issues), work perfectly under WinUAE. Has anyone had this problem before and if so how was it corrected? I am running a 1D1 rev 1200 with a blizzard 1230 IV with 8 meg of ram. Tested without the board and problem remains, so it isn't the board. Thanks for your help Cheers, dc |

Are you sure you have the kickstarts in Devs/Kickstarts and they work fine under WinUae?

OK ppl.
I have reverted back to basics and re-installed WB3.1, removed expansion card, tried a different mobo (rev 1B) to no avail. I checked the message I was previously getting and it was: Dos-Error #121 (file not executable) on reading. After reverting back to WB3.1 and re-installing WHDLoad 16.9, I got he "error on reading rom 34005.A500 (or whatever it is - didn't write it down sorry) as opposed to what I had before. I have used the same roms etc which work under WinUAE but they still refuse to work in the A1200 environment..!!??!! Any ideas would be welcome. Cheers. dc |

Read this thread:

Most likely it is common max transfer problem or in worst case >4G problem if you installed it using "UAE" controller.

Good point Toni, missed the 8GB card bit. If it is those issues DC33, there is a lot of info on EAB and by searching the internet.
Also some info here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=32256 |

Thanks for your reply - long time no talk. Although in principle I would agree to a degree on the 4+ gig barrier, my question would then be "does it matter if the CF card is 1,2,4,8,,,,,, or greater, as long as the games (as it is the case for me) are being run from the first 4 gig partition or below? I have put games from 0-K in the first partition (below 4 gig) and the remainder L-Z in the 4-8 gig partition, and as Flashback is within the first... I am or would assume that this restriction would / should not apply right? Cheers dc |

I have done several of your installs on differing configs and have never had this problem - until now whereby I am using the 8 gig card instead of a 4 or less. Not sure why that is tho. Nevertheless, I have patched the drive file system so that the 4+ gig barrier is not a problem and I have manged to prove this on the real Amiga without any probs. Everything is visible and accessible but just wont run under WHDLoad - as I said, will give it a go tomorrow as the 1200 is in the workshop under the house. So it is a tomorrow job. Cheers, dc |

And the maxtransfer setting is correct? If it's not, you may get corrupted file operations with larger files that might not show up in WinUAE use.

Chers. dc Quote:
I have configured the drive step by step following your gideliness and even followed your video guide and have had no issues at all. I have actually been playing around with 8 gig cards for some time without any problems like this one. I can't recall tho, whether other cards I have prepped have been using a real 1200 or not.... At work now so I can't get onto the real machine till tonight. Tried loading games in WinUAE and it works perfectly.... Last edited by TCD; 02 September 2011 at 01:10. |

Update:
Whilst nothing has really changed in terms of workability, for some strange reason when the "Retry - Quit or Make core dump" requester appears, if I choose re-start, the game will work without any problem. Anyone have any ideas why this would be? I am guessing that perhaps this may be an issue with WHDLoad 17 (supplied with latest ClassicWB...??) as I have never had this type of problem previously. Will let you guys know what happens dc Final UPDATE..... Well well, just reverted back to WHDLoad 16.9 (16.9.4672) and everything seems to work without any issues. So it would appear that WHDLoad 17 has some issues maybe? dc Last edited by DC33; 04 September 2011 at 02:41. Reason: more informatyion re: WHDLoad 16.9 vs 17 |

HI DC.. version 17 is still in beta so probably there's the reason.
I'm curious to know which accelerator card you have, as I have a M1230XA in one machine and some games doesn't run there, but they run in another with a Blizz 1230. you might want to help out by reporting the issue on the whdload homepage. cheers T |
