WinUAE and Gamebase help needed, please

[Belgarath]

the 256kb 1.3 ks is the correct one, altho i dont think it actually matters.
er what version of winuae are you using?
because one ver of winuae broke the commandlines as used by gb amiga

see http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=535027&postcount=9

or just tick use 8.3 filenames

Do you mean 1.5.3? Because then you shouldn't need the fix.

No, there isn't. When you start WinUAE, click on 'About' and you'll see the version number. Anyway, since some games do work you apparently don't need that fix

Its version 1.6.1

When a game doesn't autoload, Gamebase asks for:
KS Rom v2.05 (A600)
rev 37.299 (512K)
[391388-01]

or

KS Rom v3.1 (A1200)
rev 40.68 (512k)
[3791773-01/391774-01]

I have in winuae:
KS rom v1.3 (A500, A1000, A2000)
rev 34.5 (256k)
[315093-02]

KS Rom v2.04 (A500+)
rev 37.175 (512k)
[390979-01]

KS Rom v3.1 (A500, A600,A2000)
rev 40.63 (512k)

But scan of roms shows only A500 Boot Rom 1.3 and A500+
as available.

I'm still struggling with this, even with alternate versions of kickstart, gamebase in most cases either fires up the 1.3 disk icon, or says it requires workbench 2 or 3 rom or in a few cases it works. I've looked at the configs for a game listed in gamebase that does work (Benefactor i think) and one that doesn't work (Power Drive) - well, Power Drive played through gamebase starts to load and eventually results in a guru meditation, though i can play it no probs in WinUAE by manual config. - and theres no difference in the config details in gamebase, apart from my Winuae always seems to be defaulting to A500 setting with 1/2 MEG RAM?

I must have something(s) configured wrong in WinUAE.

I've read something about copying the gamebase amiga.uae file from GB amiga directory to WinUAE/Configurations? Can someone explain a bit more about the exacts steps to do this? Do I rename it once copied? Is it likely to solve my problem(s)?!

Thanks!

Seriously I have no idea whats going on with you, need a proper chat if we're gonna sort this out. come on the irc channel so we can talk in real time, and try and use a proper irc client rather than mibbit if possible.

I have been using mIRC for many years. Since I got a new PC I'm a bit paranoid now that its susceptible to trojans and that kind of thing until I've got the security up to scratch..especially after I got a virus after d'l what I thought was a kickstart..because, do you essentially have to have an open connection in order for mIRC to function properly? There were never any issues on the old pc...but seems to be now with XP.

I don't know what is going on either with the winUAE and gamebase...I haven't actually tried using an earlier winUAE version than 1.6.1, what do you recommend? In case its a bug with my WinUAE version.

I'm sure i've got something configured wrong in WinUAE but just cannot sort it out. Can you point me to the basic setup I should have for it?

I really cannot understand the roms scan - that, however many different versions of the kickstarts i have in the directory it only ever shows A500 and 500+ as available and all the others unavailable, but i can play AGA if i configure myself.

Sorry to be a pain, it would be nice to be able to launch from gamebase that's all!
