Whdload on KS 2.05 and PRELOAD
Hi again,
I've noticed that using the PRELOAD option with Whdload when booting a 2.05 (37.350) KS causes the games to hang before start. In the same computer (Amiga 600 and Minimig), with the SAME memory configuration, the same games work great with PRELOAD option if I boot a 3.X KS. An example is Cannon Fodder. Is that expected? Any hope to have preload working in 2.05? Thanks |

2MB Chip and 1.5MB OTHER (Slow ram).
Please note that the game preloads perfectly with the same RAM configuration if I use KS 3.x. It's NOT a lack of ram problem. |

It isn't expected. Can you still quit using the keyboard?
For diagnostics please set option TRACE and cite the resulting .whdl_trace file. |

Ok, trace in the attachment.
The whole computer hangs. I have tried the same thing in FS-UAE, Amiga 600 and Minimig. It's the same for all them: with the same CPU and memory config, KS 3.x runs the game with preload perfectly, but on 2.x KS preload makes the whole computer stall. No response at all. Frozen image, mouse pointer and all. Note that the game runs fine under 2.x without preload. It's the preload option what makes the game stall while it's preloading. Works perfectly well with preload on the same memory configurations (2MB chip, 1.5MB SLOW) on KS 3.x, as I already said. |

Yes, you can reproduce it very easily with UAE, keeping the same CPU and memory configuration and changing KS versions between 2.x and 3.x

I have found the exact same symptoms in other games. Same CPU, same memory configuration: they PRELOAD perfectly on 3.x but they hang the Amiga when trying to preload on 2.x.
These games are Leander and Wizkid. I'v attached the corresponding traces. |

Absolutely brilliant, Wepl! I'm using this new 17.2 version now!
Every game preloads now without problems on KS 2.x! Amiga600 users enjoy!!  Indeed, Whdload is one of the best pieces of software I've ever paid for... sopport is awesome, thanks, thanks Wepl!! |
