@ozasis,
The WHDLoad LHA file for the game is in the link in my last post. It looks like there is already an entry for it in the whdload_dm.xml file. So, it should work. I'll try it when I find some time. |

I tried ExtremeViolence-WHDL with the Mini, and it worked without any problems.
I selected Workbench31_4.Slave from the custom boot menu after I booted it |

Current hacked config file way to get to amiberry config screen / load workbench (using files and mounting the USB stick.. no need for HDF image).
Here are the key steps: 1. Download the WHDLoad and Bonus games using the links above 2. Prep the USB Disk using the instructions provided on the Retro Games website 3. On another PC, ideally Linux based (or another Amiga Emulator) Extract the Citadel LHA 4. delete Disk.1 from the Citadel directory/folder (extracted copy) 5. Re-pack the LHA (which should only contain the Citadel directory/folder and Citadel.info file) Note: All this is doing is preventing the A500 Mini from booting into anything useful, just to the kickstart rom 6. Put the USB Disk into the A500 Mini 7. Start the LHA on the A500 Mini Note: This will create a .uae file 8. Using another machine, ideally Linux based, edit the .uae file, which was created by the Amiberry emulator on the A500 Mini, to include the following lines at the top of the file: amiberry.open_gui=F12 amiberry.save_state_on_exit=true amiberry.ignore_gui=false use_gui=yes 9. Put the USB Disk back into your other PC, ideally Linux based 10. Set the permissions for the .uae file to read only (RO) Note: This is VERY IMPORTANT, or the A500 Mini will strip out / overwrite the .uae config) 11. Put the USB stick back in the A500 Mini and start the LHA 12. If you've followed all the steps, you should get the Amiberry config screen / GUI 13. Configure Amiberry as required to boot ADF or HDF images also - want CD32 emulation with CD audio? Use .uae config file the exploit to get the amiberry config menu up. Once your in that you can choose CD32 from the quickstart menu. Prior to that create on your usb stick a folder called ROM and ISO. Put the cd32 kickstart 40.60 and extended rom in the ROM folder. Put game images in ISO folder. In ROM config choose the rom images. Usb stick directory is /mnt/ROM in hard drive CD menu select the CD image from /mnt/ISO. |

You have to do this every time, as trying to savestate crashes mini. Also, it doesnt seem to support CD Audio. As you have to launch .cue file, not .iso for CDDA tracks. Mini will not launch .cue files. |

I just had my Fat32 USB Stick corrupt on me! After I restored from a backup and reprogrammed my ADF host games I still lost all my save state saves even though I backed up the stick on Monday! Where is the save state data saved? |

Note that the directory name for each game is a hash of the filename and directory path. So if you move the LHA game to a different location on the USB stick then you will lose the original save state directory hash mapping. |

I selected all the files on the stick using a Mac and copied them all back and fore. I don't think there is a view all files/folders vs view icons only type functionality on a Mac!

Do you see the.a500states directory? Some systems hide fes and directories starting what a dot/period character.

Hey guys, is it known if anyone is working on a Hakchi style way of editing, adding or removing the built in games and having them display nativly in the built in GUI?
