http://www.whdload.de/whdload/WHDLoad_usr.lha - Download and then unpack this (unpack on the Amiga).

Install it and you should be off to go..

1 - install http://www.whdload.de/whdload/WHDLoad_usr.lha - this will copy all the whdload files to the correct places

2 - download http://www.aminet.net/util/boot/skick346.lha, and copy everything in the kickstarts folder to devs:kickstarts/

3 - put your kickstart files in devs:kickstarts/ and rename them as it says on http://www.whdload.de/docs/en/need.html. you dont need to do this untill whdload asks you for a certain kickstart.

4 - get a game from http://www.whdownload.com/ and extract the files to a folder and run the .slave file, or get the slave itself from http://www.whdload.de/ to install your own games

5 - have fun!

Post by: amiga2009u on April 09, 2009, 06:04:34 PM: Thanks everyone i'll give all this a try, what I kept getting was a runtime error 10 or something, is it all in CLI or should it bring up some sort of GUI?

You need to copy the copyrighted kickstart files to "devs:kickstarts/"

Post by: amiga2009u on April 09, 2009, 10:54:41 PM: I'm using the ones from the WHDload website.
And have re-named them accordingly as it says which i can make out is by removing the ".PAT"?

There aren't any Kickstart roms on the WHDLoad site.

The ROM files needs to be renamed, yes, but the additional files from the skick archive shouldn't.

Post by: Derfs on April 09, 2009, 11:41:25 PM: no, you need an actual image of kickstart, from amiga forever, or from a real amiga.

and classicwb is excellent, i use it for winuae and my a1200 030/50
