Inviyya getting it working on my Amiga Mini
I have just bought Inviyya
https://tigerskunk.itch.io/inviyya which is simply amazing. But I cant seem to get the LHA copies given working on my Amiga Mini... it finds the slave and goes to the infinite life menu... then I just get a black screen. Anyone have any ideas how to resolve? As would love to have this on my Amiga Mini as well. |

I know some people online who wrote that they got it working. I will ask them and report back.. :) One question though, what have you done so far to get it running? I heard you need to edit a startup XML for instance. |
Edit the xml database file from the game-data folder off your usb stick with notepad+ and add a new game entry.
Copy paste the lha filename and it will work. |

It still doesn't seem to be working for me... this is what I added directly the last entry... <game filename="Inviyya_WHD_7LVL.lha" sha1="7abd2d8a9db905c816b6c36916ddd429dfb2d43e"> <name>Inviyya</name> <subpath>Inviyya</subpath> <variant_uuid>55b87587-0af0-5ced-8c99-800570ad9202</variant_uuid> <slave_count>4</slave_count> <slave_default>GenericKick31.slave</slave_default> <slave_libraries>False</slave_libraries> <slave number="1"> <filename>GenericKick31.slave</filename> <datapath>data</datapath> </slave> <slave number="2"> <filename>Workbench31_1.Slave</filename> <datapath>data</datapath> </slave> <slave number="3"> <filename>Workbench31_32.Slave</filename> <datapath>data</datapath> </slave> <slave number="4"> <filename>Workbench31_4.Slave</filename> <datapath>data</datapath> </slave> <hardware> PRIMARY_CONTROL=JOYSTICK PORT0=JOY PORT1=JOY FAST_COPPER=FALSE JIT=FALSE SCREEN_AUTOHEIGHT=TRUE SCREEN_CENTERH=SMART SCREEN_CENTERV=SMART FAST_RAM=8 </hardware> </game> </whdbooter> |
Which slave do you select? Try 31_4
|
One more thing, the Inviyya LHA doesn't contain a "working" Whdload slave as far as I remember (I might be wrong, though). You still need to install that one with your game I guess.
Wish I could be of more help here right now, I don't have much knowledge about either whdload nor the Amiga mini. I am more than willing to upload a proper version of the LHA that works with the Amiga Mini once we found out what the problem might be, though... :) add/edit: Asked in my FB group as well, hope we can get something rolling here. :) |
I created an install that I use on my A1200 and it works fine on my mini without adding it to the xml database. I posted a video on the Inviyya facebook page. Mine is a proper install and not one of those generic ones. I'm happy to send it to you for use on your page if I can find a way. The only issue is it might not work unless people have updated to the latest software from the retrogames site.

So I guess I will just upload an already installed version that I pack into an LHA then. Should do the trick... :) |
Okay, now it's getting a bit weird.
Tony Aksnes, who helped me tremendously with testing the game and asking Psygore to get the WhdLoad slave going just told me, that the LHA on itch.io is already the installed version, and should be ready to go with the Amiga Mini. Maybe it would be helpful to know, if the last version of the Mini's firmware was installed, since that seems to be the least complicated approach according to Superman's post above... :) |
I think it should work. :great
Edit: it’s a long time since I bought the game but I’m sure I had to install the whdload version myself from the adf files as I could only find the installer online. |

Okay, seems the solution is that you need to download the
Inviyya_WHD_7LVL.lha edit: Seems you need to install "THEA500 WHDLoad Package" unto your USB stick. Follow the instruction here https://retrogames.biz/support/thea500-mini/whdload/ and you should be fine. The Inviyya_WHD_7LVL.lha works right out of the box with the Amiga Mini. (I now deactivated the older versions from download, so that's the one remaining now) @TheDrisk: Please tell us how it went... :) |
I can confirm the version on your page is working fine for me also. :great
