Problems with WHDload (yes, me too)
Hi all,
I'm a new (WinUAE) Amiga emulation user and a former Amiga 2000 owner. I'm very happy to be back (sort of) on the amiga platform again. I bought the Cloanto Amiga Forever version and it seems to work ok. But, like a lot of other emulator noobs, I too have problems with WHDload. I know about the kickstarts and I have them in the devs:kickstart directory. WHDload (I've bought a licence for that too) doesn't wanna read the kick34005.a500 file. Ive deleted the .PAT extension and now I get a read error, look here: http://www.blinq.net/temp/grab1.jpg I've been trying all kinds of stuff the last few nights but to no avail. Can someone help me with this? regards, Simon |

Have you copied the rom.key to Devs/Kickstarts too?

a kick34005.a500.pat file is not the actual kickstart file, you need a proper a500 kickstart file which will be 256k in size, just copy and rename the 1.3 kickstart you use for winuae.

Of course you need the Amiga 500 kickstart in the "Kickstarts" folder too. Search for "kick130.rom / amiga-os-130.rom" on the Amiga Forever CD and rename it, and don't forget to copy the rom.key file too.

Hi Retro-Nerd,
There wasn't a rom.key file in the Colanto's ROM directory, but there was a 'rom' file. I copied the 'rom' file to the devs:kickstarts directory, copied it and renamed it rom.key. I also copied all rom images from the colanto rom folder to the devs:kickstarts directory and renamed the amiga-os-130.rom to kick130.rom and the amiga-os-310.rom to kick310.rom. I did all this in windows XP. Still the same problem. My devs: directory is on my D drive (PC) from wich I boot to windows XP. The path is: D:/Documents and settings/all users/documents/amiga files/system/dir/system/devs Is this maybe the problem? I did install the WHDload through the emulator in the C directory (in System). Could it be that WHDload is corupted? |
