Thats 128 Colour on an 040 @25mhz, if you run it at 64 colour (which is the standard setting) then it should be nearly as quick, at least it is on my Typhoon Mk2 on my Desktop A1200

Heres also the link to the CWB Site:

Wow not bad at all Steve . What was th front end you were using for your WHD games ?
Like the web browser too , what do you need to get A1200 hooked up to internet .
Was that spectrum emulator you ere running ? Lots of cool stuff Steve

Mostly everything there is included with CWB which is why I rate it so highly, Bloodwych has done an awesome job with his packs.

IGame is the WHDLoad browser and that and the screenshot pack are both included with CWB

I wrote a guide to setting up Internet Access a little while back:

You just need a compatible PCMCIA network card like the Netgear MA401 that I use. AWeb is included with CWB but IBrowse is commercial software but the only snag is you can't buy a key anymore

Speccy Emulator is ZXAMSpectrum, the AGA mode is great and runs full speed, and was even full speed on my old M-TEC 1230 which was 28mhz/8mb

If you need any of the files drop me a PM with your email.

Thats brilliant !!

Cant wait to get my monitor sorted out as the first thing I will setup is ADVSP .

Did you install ADVSP in WinUAE ?

Thanks for the links btw it all looks great , cant wait

EDIT : Do you recommend 3.1 roms ? I have 3.0 atm

I've been using 3.0 Roms on my Desktop (CWB ADV SP) with no problems but if you ever decide to go to OS3.9 you will need to upgrade them as 3.0 are not supported for OS3.9 (Or 3.5)

I do all my work in WinUAE, and then use DOpus (Included with CWB) to copy all of DH0 to my new CF or HDD

Then I copy the games from my PC in the same way, much faster that way, all through WinUAE + Turbo Mode (End+Break)

Hey Fitzsteve,

Im having trouble installing ADVSP . I get as far as installing the Igame option and then it asks me to reboot , so I reset and nothing has happened . I have completely formated my DH0 and have nothing in it . I managed to install CWB LITE a while ago and have no idea how I did it .

I would like to install ADVSP onto my CF in WinUAE without effecting DH1 which has my games in it .

Can you give me some noob pointers to get this to happen ?

Hi Kakaboy,

Take a look at the guide I wrote in the below post for another member:

Hopefully that will get you going

Thanks mate , So are you saying that the WB install is contained in the .HDF file ?

EDIT : Ok just read the rest of your tut , and will transfer files with dopus . I had a go at installing it at work and had to use 3.1kick rom and all went smoothly .

Any ideas Steve ?

@kakaboy

1. Can early startup see the CF partion(s)
2. What prioities have been given to the partition(s)
3. Did you make the partion bootable

Althought Dopus is good for copying files, I have had issues at times.

I would suggest using the following -

1. Open a new CLI
2. type the following "copy HDF0: ALL DH0:" without quotes and press enter
3. It will now copy all the files from the the HDF file (HDF0:) to the CF Card primary partition (HD0:)

good luck =)

Hi Zetro,

Im using the same partition I had setup with CWB Lite . So all I have done is reformat DH0 as DH1 has my games on it . But I have called it Workbench , will that matter ?

I have reformatted DH0 again and going to give it another go .

UPDATE: Thanks Zetro , after failing at a second attempt to copy files in DOPUS I did it in CLI and worked great

Now how do I change my old icon for DH1 to something a bit more flashy
