https://www.a1200.net for new cases and keys. But you should consider retro-brighting instead. Or just put them out in the sun for some days - works as well as long as the sun is strong enough.

https://whdload.de for WHDLoad. Just download the latest version (usr or usr_small), extract it on the Amiga and run the installer. Note that this will not update any slaves.

Retro brighting will be my last resort as never done it before & unfortunately I think I've missed the good weather ref the sun.
With regards to whdload I've never used it so could you answer a couple of queries I have
1.Does the installer just update the main programme for compatibility & does not updating the slave matter?
2.is there a package I can download to actually update the games I may be missing.
3.I use AGS on a Mister is this something you would recommend for real hardware or is Whdload the best option as I only intend using it for playing games.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me I appreciate the help

The installer only updates the main program. Slaves must be updated either by hand, or by having the Amiga connected to the internet (WHDLoad will then check for new slaves when starting a game).

AGS is just a front-end for starting games, isn't it? Never used that, nor a MiSTer. You can check out iGame, which is also a front-end and can detect all your WHDLoad installs automatically.

Yes it's basically a GUI game selector I didn't realise how complicated WHDLoad actually is ..well to me anyway compared to other systems I think I may need to try & see if there are any quides on YouTube I can watch before attempting it.
Is there a resource where I can download a roms package I do have loads of adfs but would like to update it in one once I fully understand the process

WHDLoad uses HDF files however this will help:

WHDLoad does *not* use HDF files. WinUAE uses HDF files.

WHDLoad uses files or disk images from original media.
