ADZ files won't run (while ZIP ones do!)
Ok, while I'm not exactly /new/ to either the emul scene in general or the Amiga in particular, I figured my issue here is kinda too dumb and basic to post it elsewhere (although I swear I have checked both the board here and Googled a bit as well, to no avail).
Now I'm in fact expecting to feel quite ashamed once somebody on the board will most likely come up with the over-obvious answer to it  , so here is:I've recently reinstalled WinUAE (v1.6.0) on a brand new laptop (Intel Core2Duo, alas! running under Vista) and, just as my post title suggests, I can't seem to make any ADZ file to start! Which is weird as hell since WinUAE supports them natively, right?! Now, for what I've already checked so far in trying to fix this: - Renaming any of my ADZ files with a ZIP extension instead will fix the problem and let WinUAE load the disk image perfectly. So the problem is definitely with the extension not being recognized or sth... - Clicked "Associate All" button under the "Priority & Extension" section to ensure that all related formats including adz were well registered to belong to WinUAE. (One strange thing though is that neither ADF nor ADZ files will get the WinUAE icon, although I verified that they are associated with the emulator all right) Now, anyone please step forward and point out exactly what stupid obvious detail I might just have overlooked...! Thx in advance as always. |

ADZ it's file compressed with gzip, not zip. You need zlib.dll and zlib1.dll with older versions of WinUAE, I don't know if with newer too.

You don't need them anymore s2325.
Do the .adz disks work when put in DF0: via the GUI? I also had the problem that without the file associations inside WinUAE .adz images wouldn't be 'mounted' when just associated via 'open with' in Windows. Setting the associations inside WinUAE fixed that for me. |

Probably some simple bug, unfortunately you are 1 day too late reporting it

Should be already fixed in 1.6.1 (gzip issue).
If icons are incorrect AND associations are set in associations panel AND you have vista or newer AND not using installer: run winuae with administrative privileges (only once) to fix missing important registry entry related to associations. |

On Windows 2000 Pro zlib1.dll is not visible for WinUAE 0.8.25. I can not use newer version because I can not install DirectX 9
