Good WHDload games, bad written slaves?
Hello.
I'm stuck in some WHD games I have. Some simply refuses to work due the slave configuration. An example: I have Cadaver & "Pay off" installed in mine 2Mb chip A600, but the slave claims I need 512kb Chip + 512kb Fast (who I don't have). But I'm sure 2Mb is more than enough to the original game (who requires only 1Mb of chip, BTW). The game is already WHDloaded, but I face this issue trying it from HD. How to fix it, since the slave don't accept the edited tooltypes I've put on the game icon? I don't think I need (but I will, in the near future) to put a FAST RAM board inside the A600 just for gaming. |

I've just tried Cadaver with 2MB Chipram only in WinUAE in and it works fine, strange.
LOL: On my real A1200 i got this "not enough memory available" message too with 2MB Chip only. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 06 May 2008 at 03:46. |

Not strange @ all if you use the .adf disks images. I'm using the WHDload version!

The 600 surely will work with Cadaver and Pay off, since the game(s) is/are ECS. Why in heaven I need fast RAM to it works? That's why I think the slave is bad-written. BTW: I like your Elvira avatar! ;-) |

Perhaps it isn't so strange, for example directory harddrives use very little Amiga-side RAM (all buffers are in non-Amiga memory) compared to "real" harddrives. (hdf or ide/scsi emulation)

I remember having a program that could divide your chip ram to chip & fast ram. Try that to run the game on your A600.
EDIT: Fakefast was the name , i remember now. |

But don't worry. Jotd had tipped me. All I need to do is remove "PRELOADS" from the icon's tooltypes. |

So the slave wasn't badly written in the first place.
