is there any special version of whdload for 3.5? or i need to configure something?

Try booting with no startup-sequence, if that works, then there is something loaded within the startup sequence that is affecting WHDLoad.

something=setpatch

but without setpatch i cant use my large drive so 3.5 is useless for me too

its a standard startup-seq, it was new drive > 3.1 inst (and some games of course) > 3.5 inst.
no modyfing startup

bump!

machines:
a1200 commodore, a1200 amiga escom/at (both 3.1 roms)
Blizzard 1230MK-IV(16meg), Blizzard1230 MK-II(32meg), Apollo 1230LC(8meg)
OS 3.5 installed from scratch, 6G and 10G drives
no pcmcia-eth inserted
display devices: TV, 1084 monitor

What is the full description in the startup sequence reference 'Setpatch'.

Also, when you disabled the startup-sequence, did WHDLoad work?

If not, disable startup-sequence again, and then when the CLI opens up, type in what it says in the startup-sequence reference 'Setpatch'.

Not aware that Setpatch would affect your Amiga's ability to see the hard drive as it would have to load Setpatch from the drive in the first place.

C: Setpatch QUIET

as installed

if i run setpatch by hand it says:

installing romupdate
installing filesystem
installing scsi.device

reboot after 3.2.1...

(i think its STANDARD! coz it was installed from scratch)

Chain · 12 September 2005, 18:44

disable startup sequence > games still not workin

BUMP!

Chain · 13 September 2005, 20:21

is there any problem wit new workbench libraries etc?
im trying to run it without startup-sequence, just typah "loadwb", "endcli"

Chain · 14 September 2005, 10:02

nobody knows?
i really need some help please

BippyM · 14 September 2005, 10:15

okay edit your startup-sequence and edit out the setpatch command

Code:

;setpatch quiet

then let it boot.. if it gets to WB then try running a game..

I suspect there are some software complications somewhere

i already tried that, its still the same, with or without setpatch, with or without startup-sequence

Boot with no startup-sequence. Select a game you want to play by copying it all into RAM: and CD to RAM: and try running WHDLoad from there.

Chain · 14 September 2005, 16:06

hooooo, it works from ram: !

sooo where is teh problem? something with scsi device/setpatch?

Chain · 14 September 2005, 16:12

damn, it works from CF card too! but not from harddrive

(((
btw at least i can register it when it works

Galahad/FLT · 14 September 2005, 16:17

It could be the Max Transfer rate has been altered by the installation of 3.5. I think you need to use HDToolBox to alter how much data the system is allowed to read at anyone time.

When you use WHDLoad, I think it will blind load the whole file, whereas AmigaDOS copy command/DOPUS/Filemaster or whatever you are using copies files in chunks, therefore the Max Transfer rate doesn't affect the system.

I had this problem with Devpac if I assembled a file that would have a large output. I had to assemble to RAM: first, then copy the file from RAM: so that there would be no problems.

Chain · 14 September 2005, 16:31

maxtransfer is 0x0000FFFF, and mask 0x7FFFFFFF

edit: filesystem blocksize 512

Chain · 14 September 2005, 16:42

hooray, now im waiting for my key

Galahad/FLT · 14 September 2005, 16:43

So does WHDLoad now operate correctly from Hard drive?

adgloride · 14 September 2005, 19:02

I've used whdload b4 on 3.5 b4 I upgraded to 3.9 and never had any problems.

Chain · 14 September 2005, 19:08

nope, seems that maxtransfer value is incorrect as you said Galahad

it must be 0x00FFFFFF!

Plase kill me soon
