PiSTORM in general
« on: April 18, 2024, 04:44:13 PM »
I see not much is posted in relation to discussing the PiSTORM.

I didn't know until the other day, someone created a tweaked version of WHDLoad.
Its basically a wrapper, that alters Emu68 command line options on the fly. It checks its database for game your attempting to run, then alters PiSTORM config to allow that game to runs without glitches.

Have to say, this is final piece of puzzle for my new setup, I have been working on.
So, if anyone uses WHDLoad with PiSTORM, check out WHDLoad Wrapper.

A lot of work went into the database for whdload wrapper, people in the Pistorm community testing and tweaking every reported trouble with games.

The WHDL wrapper works not exclusivly on Pistorm-ed machines btw.

Also for Vampires and 060-equipped Amigas it can be helpful.

The options regarding Pistorm ofc are irrelevant for others.

Dont forget winuae. Sure I saw that mentioned.

@F0LLETT I get the impression that many PiStorm users get their info direct from other sources like the PiStorm Facebook Group, Discord, Patreon etc where Claude and Michael are really active. Granted that doesn't cover everyone so it just needs a few people to think about sharing the news they see more widely, like you have.

I generally get my information from Michals Patreon page. Some on discord.
However, Im sorry. I cant stand facebook and discord. They are so messy, dissorganised and hard to search.
Discord is a Chat server, so why is it trying to be a forum of sorts. Thats what websites are for.

More exciting PiStorm news...the new Alpha WiFi driver has security built in.

I've not tested it yet and its unfinished, so please don't ask me how to use/ fix it. Here's a link to the Github download.

When you add this bit, please can you include setting it to read/write and mounting on the Amiga side? I do this and it allows me to update the version of Emu68 without taking the card out. I'm not in front of my machine right now, but I'm happy to contribute the steps if you want.

Added, hopefully it makes sense and easy to follow.
