Problems with 3.1 kickstart in WHDload

zap64uk · 24 March 2010, 14:09

Wonder if anyone can help?

I am having problems getting any game to load with WHDload that requires the 3.1 kickstart. I have amiga forever so have a legal copy of the roms. I have read on here and on the whdload pages that some older games may not work with cloanto roms. What I am looking for is the name of a game that will work with these to try and help triage the problem. Can anyone tell me one they are sure that works with these roms?

My setup - A1200, mtec 1230 with 8mb ram, 3.0 roms

Thanks Guys

are the right files in your devs:kickstarts folder

As you have bought AmigaForever and legally can use the Amiga ROMs you could probably just download the 'hookie' ones now and use those instead

Yeah I have all the roms and other required files in Kickstarts in Devs. Thing is I have other Roms also but they dont seem to work either which makes me think there is a software setup issue somewhere. So I thought if anyone new a game that defo worked with the Amiga forever roms then that would eliminate the setup issue.

It is getting stranger :-). I have been using a few games to test this. One has been Syndicate CD32 version which accroding to the notes needs the A1200 rom. If I have the rom there it say 'invalid rom ect'. If however I rename the same rom to A4000 standard it works. Shows the Rom is fine I guess. Tried the same thing with another load but it must only check for the a1200 one. Any suggestions anyone?

You need to have rom.key in that DIR to use AmigaForever encrypted ROMS with WHDload.

I have that in the directory also. The same rom image is working if it is named as a 4000 image but not if it is a 1200 image. Some games seem to only look for a 1200 image.
