Lord of the Rings by Interplay

Does anyone know if there are plans to make a WHDLoad version of the Lord of the Rings Vol 1 by Interplay at all?

Many thanks.

I had no idea it was hard drive installable.. If it is, I'll try and get ADFs onto real discs and install it.

It is, indeed. Works fine for me.

Hi.
It seems there is still no WHDLOAD install for LOTR.
Funny, because i am under the impression that there was one as i remember to have watched a lot the intro on one of my Amiga and not from floppy.
It seems the copy protection is really annoying and surely it would be nice to have a whdload.
Perhaps even a port for the MSDOS version of the Two Towers, unfortunately cancelled on the Amiga (who knows with all the new stuff coming up these days).
It it was still near Christmas, i would ask for an Amiga port of the unrealesed MSDOS part 3 which might have been a WIP at Interplay.

Would be interesting if the engine for the first game could be used with the PC data for the second game. Or even better find the unreleased version for Amiga: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php...87#post1662887

I managed to get it working using a generic WHDLoad slave based off of Aladin's French version. It was a complete PITA. I'll upload it at some point.

Why that a PITA?

It was a pain because if you replaced the french install completely with the english one, you'd get a CLI error in WHDLoad. I had to combine the english and the french versions to get it to run. It took quite some time to work out what worked with what. I've zoned my version. Not played it too much, so there might be errors.
