Adding whd load games

vertigo · 01 August 2017, 00:41

Hi, im a new user to FS-UAE. What it is i have added lots of adf files including some whd games automatically with the games database but i also have many of the games it seems to not have (greyed out).

For instance the Lost Vikings CD32 ( i cant remember the exact name im at work at the moment). I point the database to the main folder of the extra games i have in a A-Z format but picks nothing out of it. So i point it at the Lost Vikings game directory with the slave files in but it still wont see the game. The game folder is not zipped.

Im sure it must be easy, but i cant see what im doing wrong.

Any help appreciated.

Hmm, if you have run the WHDload game (Lost Vikings), it is possible the game has altered one of the files causing it to be no longer recognized.

I suggest trying to point FS-UAE Launcher to a fresh WHDLoad install of the game, having the game in an archive (.zip or .lha) is a nice way to ensure the files are not modified.
