The problem is it doesn't work. Maybe it works with modified ROM but this is not how I would like to make it work. I tried to use the PowerWindows module with LoadModule. While LoadModule didn't report any error, the PowerWindowsNG itself doesn't work anyway. Do I really need to use BlizKick?

it took some time before i figured it out too. i used blizkick for some time, in fact on one of the machines i still use blizkick, but it loads the custom rom in first place instead of applying single patches one after the other. i havnt tried loadmodule hard, but i remember sweeting on figuring out the sequence of patches in blizkick. its much easier to put a custom kick together. believe me.

edit: äh sorry i havnt noticed ur nick before. i see why you wont use a custom rom. lol

LoadModule does indeed give an error. You must not run it with >NIL:, then of course you don't see the error message.

The Blizkick module does not work with LoadModule because it does not contain a resident tag. That's what the error message says.

PW does work perfectly with a modified ROM used in WinUAE. No need to use Blizkick.

Bye,

@Thomas

Yeah, maybe I used it with >NIL: :-)

So the only possibility is to modify the ROM image or use the BlizKick? Can I combine BlizKick with LoadModule?
