There's not much point putting a hard drive into an A500 because most games don't use the hard drive unless you get WHDload.

That's bulls**t! Most games will work on a HDD and
without using WHDLoad! You should do your homework properly.

Yeah ... you can use JST instead :-D

Seriously, the vast majority of games do need a 3rd party HD installer of some sort, even A1200 ones.  WHDLoad is about the most comprehensive one, though it's made to work with originals so isn't so much use with all the ADF images found on Bach2Roots (almost all of them are taken from the 'cracked' ones as they tend to work better under UAE).

Hmmm Boinghead... what kind of Amiga do you have?

Wouldn't be military spec by any chance would it?  :lol:

Sounds like we have another doommaster account here indeed...

@scaleskin:
Nevermind boinghead's unneccesary rude remark.

Yes! I have an A5000 rev.1.b with an MC68090/175Mhz,
AAA+ rev.1.4 Chipset, 512MB, 120GB HDD, DVD-RW.

IYHO is the Amiga 2000 series the best of the Amiga computers?

No, It isn't. I know that's a trick question!
I'm NOT Doomy... (I think)
But if you all try hard enough, I'll soon turn
into Doomy!

Hell, I'm not a moderator, but staying on topic keeps everyone happy :-)

As I recall, having a HD with summat like an A500 - I remember getting the A500-HD8+ Impact Series II back in '92 or whenever - means you can run games that run from Workbench from the HD.

As so many Amiga games had their own custom bootblock loaders, more often than not they are not HD installable. However, there are still a fair few that can be installed, such as Sim city for example (IIRC)

Just replying to see how many posts I have these days. :-D
