WHDLoad problems

Rod_cl · 29 July 2007, 21:48

Hi:
i have WhdLoad latest version installed and registered on my A4000. After 10 minutes the game freezes and i mean only the game because if i press F10 or PrtSc i get back to the Workbench screen.

I experienced the same behaivour with Slam Tilt, Jurassic Park and Colonization, all AGA versions from www.whdownload.com

I have the standard 040 with 16 mb config.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

BEst Regards

Rod

Sounds like another 040 issue.

Rod_cl · 29 July 2007, 21:53

Another 040 issue? Meaning what?

Retro-Nerd · 29 July 2007, 21:56

I meant, that some EAB users reported problems with several WHDLoad games & 040 CPU. Have you tried to set the NOMMU tooltype?

Hmm, and you are not using WHDLoad with a pirated key? Because somehow I have the feeling your problems will vanish with a valid key.

Or, maybe you have some extra hardware installed (network cards etc?), try disabling these.

Try the nocache and novbrmove tooltypes as well, they (especially nocache) solve quite a few 040-related problems.

And before the freeze you can play the game? Maybe it is the problem with your hardware? Maybe AGA chipset is getting too hot and WHDLoad has nothing to do with it?

What do you mean by standard 040? Is it Blizzard 040 or BlizzardPPC+040 or Apollo 040?

I guess, he has a normal Amiga 4000.

Hi:
the key is 100% valid and i paid for it!!.
With standard A4000 i meant the normal A4000/040 with no third party accelerator.

I will try the no MMU option and post the results..

Thanks

Try NOCACHE too, as mentioned before.

Also worth trying might be booting w/o startup-sequence. Maybe you have some patches running which don't work well with WHDLoad.

mailman · 29 July 2007, 23:13

You didn't answer what happens before the freeze.

girv · 30 July 2007, 00:32

This quite often happens on expanded Amigas. Interrupts from the extra hardware - network cards, graphics cards etc. - are the usual cause. I'm not sure theres much can be done about it

Rod_cl · 30 July 2007, 05:55

I'm trying with the nocache option.
My A4000 has the following zorro cards:
1.) e/flash 1 mb
2.) x-surf
3.) some scsi card i can't remember...

I will try Colonization AGA now.

update:
30 minutes without problems.. i think it solved the problem at least with colonization

Disable any TCP/IP stack before launching WHDLoad.

Rod_cl · 30 July 2007, 19:35

Ok. I will have that in mind as I always have Miami online.

Best Regards
