WHDLoad on WinUAE - Page 3

AMIGASYSTEM · 17 March 2016, 19:51

You did not have to use ImgBurn (usually the ISO "Amiga" burned with this application are missing file) , it would be enough to drag a Windows folder on Workbench and with a file manager like DirWork (portable, you do not need to libraries or other) copy everything in the Amiga environment.

I've always used ImgBurn, because 7-Zip, WinZip and WinRAR files can be modified, such as files deleted or moved. ISO images cannot (at least I hope not).

For future reference, you can lock the archive in Winrar.

Foebane · 17 March 2016, 20:14

BTW, is the single WHDLoad file in C: all I need?

Arnie · 17 March 2016, 20:18

For playing games, yes. The prefs file in S: is for customising WHDLoad, specify a global quit key for example.

The contents of the ISO can be changed without problems with programs such as WinISO, MagicISO, UltraISO etc... these applications allow you to add, delete, rename files and folders contained in many varieties of ISO.

1. Good job I don't have any of them, then.
2. 7-Zip allows me to view, extract and test ISO files, but that's it.

They do this in many also WinRAR !

I did again what I did last night with the HDFs and copying them to Windows folders in WinUAE, but this time afterwards made sure that the attributes were all removed from the files before I packed them up. This time, it worked fine.

I now have a means of running WHDLoad files if I want to. Still got some testing to do, but I will keep using the single-disk floppy games as they're no problem. I only really wanted to try WHDLoad because of the huge games that are a nightmare for disk swapping.

I've been playing around with WHDLoad games for a while now and I find them really convenient and fast, when they're coded properly that is, but I am wondering about the following:

When I start a WHDLoad game, the quit key is always mentioned, but sometimes it doesn't work - why is that? What I mean is, sometimes F10 will work on one game but not on another, or other keys do or don't work either. Have the files in S: related to WHDLoad got something to do with it?

The function keys change for game, in some cases the required keys do not match on the PC keyboard as for the key (PrtSc) in this case on the PC you will need to press the star key (*)

You can set the preferences so that (for eg) F10 is the quit key for all games.

EDIT: quitkey = $59 (for F10)

Which file do I change?

S:WHDLoad.prefs.

Open the file in ED and change

;QuitKey=$5a to QuitKey=$59 (note ; is removed)

Sorry, that's no good, as a few games use F10 for quit anyway, like Shadow of the Beast 2.

What's the code for PrtSc?

Arnie · 22 March 2016, 00:10

$5d

Arnie · 22 March 2016, 00:26

Prtscr is also on the keypad on a 1200. The 600 is the only one that didn't have a keypad.

I forgot that you're using a 600, correct?

I've been forced to use an A600 on WinUAE because WHDLoad refuses to work on Workbench 1.35.
