It uses the Amiberry WHDLoad AutoBooter and shows it in the background (it doesn't do this when it just works with other games you just see the WHDLoad dialogue box with the option for second button to jump etc before it loads).
It recognises the fact slave files. But says "setpatch not found" Then says "Creating Boot Script" but then goes black and does nothing and stays black. This is common to all three games. |

You need to get the latest whdboot folder from the Amiberry github page. You also need to install the whdload kickstarts into the Devs/kickstarts folder in the boot-data.zip file. Do that and all JOTD's games work fine including Supercars AGA. |

I've got version 1.0.0 of WHDBoot created in 4/4/22 and I've got the A500 (33180, 33192 and 34005), A600 (40063), A1200 (40068) and A4000 (40068) kickstarts in the Devs/Kickstary folder. Not really sure what I'm missing!

Does the kickstart drawer look like the attached image?

No, for some reason it only contains the .RTB files not the other two types! I'll add the others. I thought the Cloanto Roms were licensed for this product already! Thanks for pointing out the missing files on my memory stick though. Last edited by BigD; 12 April 2022 at 01:08. |

Nope. With the Roms installed the only thing that is different is that the jotd games now fail on a AmigaDos screen rather than a black one!! Disappointing!

If you join the A500 mini Facebook group. I've put a fully configured THEA500 folder on there. Works with all JOTDs games.

Do you mean THEA500-WHDLoad-unofficial-package-1.0.1.zip? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FVo...1q0-O4lhq/view Will that make the JOTD games work? |

As promised it now "just works"! What a treat! Wow a new Ms Pacman port for a new Amiga machine in 2022! This really is awesome! Last edited by BigD; 12 April 2022 at 16:00. |

Would it be possible to replicate the other early Pac-Man games on A500? (By that I mean any of the titles before Pac Mania)

Not much. The whdload slave provided didn't start on A500. you mean? Pac Man Jr, Super Pacman, etc... I never really played them and there's little documentation about them (they're also a lot less popular). Mrs Pacman was a quick job after all. The A.I. of the ghosts was just slightly tuned. Not sure about the other games. |

Super Pac Man is similar to the original, but it runs on a slightly beefier arcade board from what I remember. Pac N Pal might be the hardest, actually, since it even has background music...
