Even if your machine has the same exact ROM version, you need to have the rom file in Devs:Kickstarts if WHDLoad requires it. Either use a utility such as Grabkick if your machine has the correct version ROM that you need or buy or obtain the file some other way (ehm...).

So if i just use the Grabkick and rename it and place it in Devs:Kickstarts then it shuld be fine !

BTW is it leagal to grab ur own Kickstart and use it as a Backup or in this case WHDload ?

Have you read the documentation of WHDLoad?

It is needed because WHDLoad is locking the system and performs (emulates) all the actions which the game wants. When WHDLoad is loaded your system does nothing and for WHDLoad it basically does not exist.

You also need some files from the skick archive on Aminet IIRC.
