WHload, how to use?
« on: December 30, 2014, 08:11:31 PM »
I am a little confused as to how to use WHload. I've installed it to the default directory as set up in the instal process.
Now what do I do to instal a game that I own to run on the hard drive. Do I download the game from the WHload website or do I still need the original as well and how do I run the game from hard drive?

There are a ton of guides already out there, just a google search away.  Here's one that might help:

Basically though it depends on where you got the game.  Many pirate sites exist that distribute the entire game, just unpack it and double-click the icon, it'll find the WHDLoad files it needs and boot up.  Other sites (like the main WHDLoad site, itself) only contain the code to create the HD-installable files, and still require the original (copyrighted) game disks to read said data back off of during the creation process.  If that makes sense?  ;)
