WHDLoad Rom Files (Problems/Questions)

[3246251196]

I am trying to get WHDLOAD to work with AGA Theme Park (the disks i got installed fine but when i click on research there comes up a SOFTWARE PROBLEM!!!) so, i am to use another verison - the WHDLOAD one (installed via a different THEMEPARK)

anyway. it first said unable to located kick40068.a4000 so, i copied (into DEVS:kickstarts) something like A40003.1.rom and renamed it "kick40068.a4000". loaded up again, now it wants "kick40068.a4000.rtb" - so, it seems as though you need TWO files. what is this RTB file!?

thanks

Read the docs for the Thema Park AGA WHDLoad Install, it will tell you where to get the RTB file.

but why not? every game it's just as every other buggy program.

[3246251196]

yeah. so this happens to you guys?

i mean, i restarted - closed everything so i had as much mem as possible and then the game runs fine. just happens from time to time i suppose.

right?

This problem is a well known one . . .

If you use Miami, just close this program prior to run any WHDLoad game.

It's a imcompatability between WHDLoad and the TCP/IP stack.

I know for sure that Miami causes this, but not as sure about other stacks. But probably they cause the same behaviour.

WHDLoad is rock solid.  It sounds like you're running a TCP/IP stack.  This can cause freezing like you describe.  Other possibilities are using the wrong disks for the particular installation (ie. pirate copies, unsupported versions, etc.).

[3246251196]

think that makes sense. i think i was running my network when i was running the game (TCP/IP stack). FTPMount

I too had freeze error's i could not explain, until i realised, I still had Miami/Amiga Explorer running still while loading the games after transferring off of the Network from PC.

Works a treat here.., but my 4000 has no network card so I have to use 1.44MB floppies..

yup. things are working well now. good stuff!

i would not mind registering so that scroll screen doesnt come up. you guys registered?

[Matt_H]

you guys registered?

Absolutely. Don't even give it a second though - just register. Worth every penny.

[3246251196]

i agree. WHDLoad has to be one of the greatest pieces of software made - and thats not even being anti-serious.

few questions though:

1 - you guys use the latest model? because i use 16.1, is it good enought?

2 - you get a key when you register right? where do you insert this (when using your amiga)?

[krize]

yes, register it ! I have regged years ago and is really worth it!!! Download latest version yes You get instructions when ordered....
