Upgraded WHD load, now black screen with white lines?!

Hi! I upgraded WHDLoad from 17.x to the latest 18.x release on the website, but now all games load a black screen with white lines moving up and down.

If i copy the old WHDLoad 17.x files back to C the games load perfectly.

Does any one know what the issue may be and how to upgrade please?

Thanks!

Not sure on your issue but when I upgrade I only copy over 2 files from the Whdload user small download package. They are WHDLoadCD32 and Whdload which I put into C.

Try some older whdload version and see until which version it works and with next don't. Then have a look at History file that may explain what could cause the problem. http://www.whdload.de/whdload/old-whdload/

It is also a good idea while updating to a new version to merge new/old whdload.prefs file. I would recommend to copy new files too. Reading the History file can also help.

Probably a cracked keyfile. Search for whdload.key and delete it.

@Jeff
Even more hilarious when you consider how old the cracked keyfile must be now!

Gotta love Wepl's blacklist implementation.
All the bug reports there's been over the years, and many was "false-positives" just because of no-no keys.

@Wepl : the latest whdload program seems to not like the A1200 vanilla with 68020 + 8mb of fast.

A friend of mine had to roll back to whdload v18.4 ; Many games remains on a dark screen on startup.

A report via the bugtracker would be nice.
