If I copy the ZIP and LHA files to my CF and place it in my amiga can I use Dopus to extract the files or do I have to do them one by one in the SHELL window?

Retroplay · 24 September 2012, 22:49

Of course you can use Dopus to extract multiple archives, that's what I do.

ClassicWB comes with a nice Dopus setup, if you don't have it I recommend you try it out.

@Galahad - Thanks.

Ok, thank you very much for the information.

Thanks for these continued updates, just one question,

Along with the files from 'Retroplay/WHDLoad_Updates' on the FTP, what other WHD installs do I need for a complete collection (finals not betas) ? Is it the whole collection on KillerGorilla's site ? and/or are there more ?

TCD · 27 September 2012, 20:59

You'd indeed need KG's packs to make it 'complete'. No other sources needed though.

liveevil · 27 September 2012, 21:06

Thanks for the very quick reply. What happened to the idea about clrmame DAT files ? I see there was something posted by Retroplay but it says they were removed. I take it that all the installs on KG's page work with WHDLOAD v17 (I don't have a key but I assume the mojority work without one?), i'm quite new to the WHDLOAD part of Amiga retro.

TCD · 27 September 2012, 21:15

There are a few installs that don't work with v17, but that's not KG's fault

Usually bug reports are made on http://mantis.whdload.de/ and when a fixed slave is released, Retroplay will install it and put it on the file server. Don't worry about it though and just grab them for now as there are only a very few that don't work with v17

Edit: Again, most installs work without a key, but some will have features that are disabled or simply won't work at all. Have a look for yourself, but it's a good idea to spend the few quid to get the key

liveevil · 27 September 2012, 21:35

Thanks for the info. Just one more thing, I know GamebaseAmiga is very out of date so I was looking at ClassicWB. Do you know if the Screenshot previews for the WHDLoad games (iGame ?) are updated and know of a site to download them ?

I need to get my Amiga 1200 out of the loft sometime.

TCD · 27 September 2012, 21:45

I don't know of any new iGame screenshots for Retroplay's updates, sorry.

liveevil · 28 September 2012, 21:44

Is there a new or easy way to play these in emulation ? Gamebase Amiga only supports it's own list of games (I like WHDRun but it leaves all the unzipped files in the GBGame directory), I tried ClassicWB but you have to unzip all the files into the designated directory of iGame and end up with thousands !!

Is there a newer version of WHDRun that I can use with WinUAE and not need GameBase Amiga ?? Are there any other options ?

HOL2001 · 28 September 2012, 22:47

Something is weird here.
When I load GreatGianaSisters_v1.4_2945.lha into my system shown im my Sig I can't jump.
With version 1.3 it still works fine...
Means when pushing the Joystick upwards, there is no reaction.
Tried that with different Joysticks -> Same
Tried that in Emulator -> works!
Can anybody else copy that?

TCD · 28 September 2012, 23:00

Have you checked if any tooltypes for a second button to jump are set?

Retroplay · 29 September 2012, 00:23

I can't jump either, only button 2 works as jump (Wico Red Ball joystick in my case).
Works in WinUAE, not on real Amiga.

[edit]
Bug reported to Psygore.

Toni Wilen · 29 September 2012, 11:27

Does emulator behavior change if you change GamePorts panel joystick type to Gamepad?

No it doesn't make any difference.

I can't find installs for these games:
Nigel Mansell's World Championship (Non-AGA)
Oscar (Non-AGA)
Top Gear 2 (AGA)

Perhaps you missed them when creating the installs? There are only AGA installs for the first 2 and the ECS install for Top Gear 2. And I think these were all on KGs packs already.

Retroplay · 01 October 2012, 12:05

Oscar (OCS/ECS) is not supported by the WHD install.

Nigel Mansell (OCS/ECS) & Top Gear (AGA) both have slave errors.

Ah that explains it then, thanks.
About Oscar I wasn't sure, the readme mentions 2 different floppy versions and hol mentions a WHD install for the ECS/OCS version, so I guess that info should be corrected at hol.

Hi Retroplay,
In AttackOfTheGreenSmellyAliensFromPlanet27b6_v1.0.zip the default tool for Instructions.info is AmigaPower14b:MuchMore
Probably a duff link on most people's systems!
Thanks
