the database for whdload installs is updated to october 18th 2021.
tho the last updated whdload .slave seem to be :

2021-08-07 improved: New York Warriors (Arcadia Systems) audio fixed, selection improved, uses fast memory (Info)

In case anyone noticed, I added the following configuration to several variants:

serial_port = midi://mt32

. This however requires updates of both FS-UAE & Launcher 4. Updated builds with support for this are not ready quite yet, but it works fine in testing. If Munt/MT32-emu is running in the background, it should be automatically detected and used. If a real MT-32 is attached, it simply needs to be selected as "MT-32-compatible MIDI out device" in a new MIDI prefs screen in FS-UAE Launcher.

The variants in question are:

Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers (WHDLoad, v1.1, De, MT32, 2369)
Leisure Suit Larry 5 (WHDLoad, v1.5, MT32, 2244)
Police Quest III (WHDLoad, v1.4, De, MT32)
Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers (WHDLoad, v1.1, NTSC, MT32, 1177)
Police Quest III (WHDLoad, v1.4, NTSC, MT32, 1341)
King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder (WHDLoad, v1.3, MT32)
Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire (WHDLoad, v1.3, MT32, 1868)
Leisure Suit Larry [Enhanced] (WHDLoad, v1.1, MT32)
King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder (WHDLoad, v1.3, It, MT32)
Leisure Suit Larry 5 (WHDLoad, v1.5, De, MT32)
Conquests of the Longbow (WHDLoad, v1.1-B, MT32)
King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder (WHDLoad, v1.3, De, MT32)
Castle of Dr. Brain (WHDLoad, v1.1, NTSC, MT32, 1287)
Castle of Dr. Brain (WHDLoad, v1.1, De, MT32, 0304)

I'll do another round of adding updated WHDLoad slaves to the database soon.

hi frode!


may i ask you for another database-update? the whdload-developers are quite active and again there are many improved versions of our beloved games. would be amazing if fs-uae would recognize these.


thanks and best regards

[FrodeSolheim]

I will do another update shortly (Also, I'm thinking to automate the process, either now or later, so updates can be done continuously).

Hello, is it possible to add/edit Amiga WHDLoad games variants (new fixed versions)? Best regards, Jeff.

As far as i understand Frode must do the update by himself, we can't add new versions of improved games.


Hopefully Frode will do an update soon.
