Loading WHDLoad LHA files in Retroarch Android

endre1952 · 04 January 2022, 22:56

I used to make HDF files with lots of games on it, but now I prefer to simply load the LHA's in Retroarch. It's working pretty well, however with some AGA games, I get a Workbench error message, the system is looking for kick40068.a1200 in devs:kickstarts

Any suggestions to this problem? Obviously, putting the games inside a hardfile would work.

Obviously the cure for a missing file is putting the missing file where it is supposed to be (where all the other Kickstarts are).

I got it working. Seems the .PAT file was missing for the A1200 ROM.

What games require .PATs? I haven't found one yet.

I'm not 100% sure that was the problem, but the WHDLoad patch for AGA Star Trek 25th anniversary didn't work before loaded straight from the LHA archive, but it works now.

Works fine here without it.
