Whdload games not working.
« on: February 06, 2012, 03:46:12 AM »
I am having a little issue here. I have WHDLOAD version 17.2 here, I have all the correct kickstart version installed and everything but every time when I double click the game to play it, all I get is a black screen and nothing else is working. In some games I get the introduction or flash screen of the game and then black screen and nothing else happens. Plus I cannot quit the whdload game and I am forced to restart the entire Amiga system over and over.

I do not know what to do. I tried the game Settler, I tried Reunion, I tried x-it, and all of them give me the same result.

I have the worst expansion card in the world I know, it is an Apollo 1240 which is equal to 68030 with 16 MB of Fast RAM. I do not know what to do in terms of getting the games working in my A1200. My A1200 is PAL version by the way, any help would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Try and make sure you have the best 68040 library installed for your card. I really don't know what you need for a Apollo.

I can't recall one whdload that that worked on my 030 that quit when I upgraded to 060. When one does not work the usual suspect is Subway or Miami.

I don't believe you that the Apollo is that bad. I heard they don't have the same build quality as some of the others, but if anything I have read they are faster. If you insists it runs like an 030 I'll by happy trade you one of my spare 030 40mhz boards.

Wait a second!! Here! I have Subway alright. So you are saying my Subway is causing compatibility issue with WHDLOAD? How do I fix this issue and still have subway, thanks in advance?

I just wanted to clarify something to you, do not be fooled by the actual name of the card. This is one card that does not follow the conventional name. It is ACTUALLY a 68030 card, not a 68040 card.

See this is the card that I have, just so you know. The qualities of Apollo is way inferior to that of Blizzard series, I am noticing it from hand on experience. Blizzard series are more durable, better and more reliable in my opinion...but putting aside the apollo bashing communication I am being informed that the actual problem is my Subway, it is causing a problem with whdload...how do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
