Title: kick???
Post by: ElZorro on October 09, 2008, 06:34:03 PM

Hai every one!

When I play a game with (registrated) WHD I get an error:

some 43142kick.a500 (or something like that) not found!!

I look in my drawers with kicks in DEVS, there they are!
All of the kicks, including the one the Miggy can not find!

How to solve this problem?
How can I automaticly let the kicks be found??

please instruct me, I like tot play my games !!

gr. Frisby (ElZorro) :-x

That sounds like either a bad ROM dump or an incorrect ROM ... WHDLoad checks ROM version numbers and checksums IIRC

Any bad ROM's are then immediately identifiable.

The cure? Get a set of valid ROM's  :-)

You need to put the ROM image it's asking for in DEVS:Kickstarts. Check the WHDLoad manual for more info.

I did actually have a look in the WHDLoad manual and couldn't see the information. Then I remembered that it's usually in the manual for the installer, not for WHDLoad itself. For example, from the WHDLoad installer readme for Lionheart (http://www.whdload.de/games/Lionheart.html):

Quote

The game requires an installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and
 must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with
 tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
 If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with
 an appropriate requester.
 Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same
 directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
 "util/boot/skick345.lha" on aminet.

Other games may require different versions of the ROM and RTB, but their manuals should detail the requirements.

@ElZorro

Make sure the roms are in SYS:Devs/Kickstarts drawer.

Also it might happen that only .RTB files are there but not the actual ROM files.
