How do I run these games on WinUAE?

25 June 2010, 12:59

I have WinUAE, and most commonly play games that are in ADF format, which is fine. However, some of the downloads I have are similar in setup to PC games (bunch of files, subfolders, etc). For example...

"F-15 Strike Eagle II", brilliant game of its time. The list of files are laid out like so:

Main Folder Contents - Folder named "F15StrikeEagle2" and file named "F15StrikeEagle2.info"

"F15StrikeEagle2" Subfolder Contents - Folder named "data" and the following files: "Docs", "Docs.info", "F15StrikeEagle2.info", "F15StrikeEagle2.Slave", "ReadMe", "ReadMe.info"

"data" Subfolder Contents - Following files: "CE.WLD", "end", "f15", "frontend", "game", "hallfame", "LB.WLD", "library", "ME.WLD", "NC.WLD", "OSEmu.400", "PG.WLD", "select", "VN.WLD"

None of those files scream out to me, "Click me! I'm an application!"

How do I make these games run? A majority of the games I've downloaded are like this, so I'm missing out on a lot, I feel.

Just try it

I would try 'game' first. If it doesn't work check the next file without an extension.

It is, of course, a pre-installed WHDLoad game, isn't it TCD?

I skipped the first subfolder contents it seems... Oh dear... Sorry

Of course it's WHDLoad. Have a look here : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=5267
