Title: WHDLoad or KG packs....
Post by: Claw22000 on March 17, 2009, 05:32:03 AM

It seems to be that most games and demos have some graphic artifacts or gliches in them. Sometimes they don't even run at all, or start and freeze with the music still playing. The exit key still work most of the time. I searched the Forums and didn't find much. Did fine the thing about the os swaping so now that I know thats normal on saving that makes sence. just need to know what I can do to fix.

Amiga being used in listed in signature

Thanks in advance.

Try the different ToolTypes; especially NoCache. Also try removing Preload Tooltypes from your game icons; you're a bit short on memory for some games.

For some reason when I right click and pick Information form the icons menu it shows the stopwatch then after a few seconds does nothing and allows control again?

Here's a video of whats happening.  This is 3Demo and says it need 512K and only 2Meg for preload.

Here's what happens when trying to play Ruff N Tumble



Any help appreciated.

Any other way to edit the icons tooltypes?

I see you're still using WHDLoad 16.8; 16.9 is out already. But that shouldn't really be the problem.

When you can't edit any ToolTypes there's something broken in your install I'm afraid. Maybe a bad icon.library? Try booting from your Workbench disk and editing some Tooltypes of your WHDLoad games.

I have some disk file that boots up via a startup-sequence, but I'm trying to speed it up by bypassing the filesystem and doing sector reads directly through the boot-block so don't have to wait for startup-sequence to load and run the script.  Any ASM source small enough to fit into boot block to read a few sectors into a fixed memory location (that works regardless of kickstart version)?  Wanted to ask since I know some disks that do boot directly and don't have any filesystem and thse whdload people must be expert enough to have knowledge of this stuff.  Or should I figure it out on my own from hardware reference manual.
