Certain demos not working in WHDLoad
Hello,
I recently got my A500 setup with a TF536 and a 2MB chipram expansion and a 4GB compact flash card that I have been putting games and demos in for use with WHDLoad. I installed the demos Elysium and Enigma just as per the instructions I followed on whdload.de but for some reason the demo isn't playing properly. The Sanity splash screen shows without any music and then the screen goes black without anything else happening, and Enigma did nothing at all... Not all demos are having issues it seems, I got Arte also by Sanity to work just fine so I don't know what the deal is. Anyone got any ideas on how to get around this and have all demos work the way they should? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. |

As always, you need to fiddle with the tooltypes to get everything working. Unlike popular believe, WHDLoad is not simply "install and go". Every Amiga is different and especially demos need tweaking of the tooltypes due to the way they abuse the hardware.

I'm not overly familiar with WHDLoad's tooltype yet, do you know which ones might help my problems?

Possible Reasons: -screen will be promoted -PAL/NTSC/DBLPAL/DBLNTSC monitor not installed -not enough free store It's worth noting that I have the display for my classicWB install and the locale set for NTSC high res and United States respectively, would that make a difference? |

Workbench screenmode doesn't have effect on WHDLoad. If PAL or NTSC option is not used, then WHDLoad uses the mode Amiga was during bootup. |

The files PAL and NTSC were already in devs/monitors when I set up classicWB so I'm still confused as to why it won't work.

Can you switch to PAL on Early Startup screen? Since your A500 has 2MB chip, I assume it must have ECS Agnus, which should enable software toggling between PAL and NTSC. |

Yes I can toggle between PAL and NTSC in software, but also the Elysium demo randomly started working on the real Amiga so I guess that got solved?
