Emulators better than the real thing?

Well, after a couple weeks of tweaking, hacking, and rebooting my A1200 trying to get various demos and games installed via WHDload, my success rate is about 50%.

No offense, I had some similar issues before too... but I suspect that a large part of your problems are due to PEBKAC errors.

Um, well, I doubt it. I used DMS to write the State of the art demo to a floppy, and cold booted from it.  It locked up after 3 seconds.

Where in there does PEBKAC come into play?

Btw, I've been using Amigas since 1989, and have had about 13 of them of the past 10 years (3 3000's, 4 1200's, 6 500's).

I am using 3.0 roms skicked to 3.1.  It doesn't seem to work with either.  I just ordered some 3.1 roms just in case... plus it'll allow me to remove some patches.
