Title: Alienbreed Special Edition not loading from ADF or WHDLoad Game
Post by: spanner on July 23, 2024, 11:50:10 AM
Been trying to load this since yesterday and its starts to loads up to the point it meant to ask for Disk 2 but it crashes before it, so I am guessing its to do with the kickstart its using, is there a way of copying the kickstarts the A600 GS needs from a USB Stick...?

I did try a WHDLoad LHA file as well but it comes up with WHDLoad not found so does not load the game so its looking for its binary, how do I add that too...?

If you are trying to run it from Amibench, then WHDLoad goes into the C: directory.  We have already installed JST there so you can use that to load WHDLoad Slaves too.

I will try Alien Breed directly from the Games Menu.  One of our team has it running already:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMFnsYT9KRA

You can add KS ROMs under the ROM section on on the left hand side menu.

OK,

Have you imported Kickstart 1.3 (A500) or Kickstart 3.1 (A1200)?
If you have select A500 or A1200, they will use Commodore roms instead of AROS
If you set A600GS, it defaults to AROS roms.

WHDLoad not found. Have you updated, as latest update fixes this.

I have tested AlieanBreed and lots of WHDBoot lha's all worked fine (using JST instead of WHDLoad). WHDBoot lha's even worked in AROS rom.

It shows no LHA file in the menu item when you add it to it too, maybe a good idea if it did like when you add a ADF file...

Another idea is when you press or click on a game or app it automatically highlights the START button so you do not need to then move left yourself through other games and apps and highlight the START button yourself, it would look better if it did it itself... :)

Press the "Start" button on the controller, if all you want to do is start the game (no need to navigate across to start).
Press the "Select" button on the controller, then it will jump the focus across to the start button.

I think he means it doesn't display the file selected. So whyou go to edit menu, you don't see file its using.

Alien Breed Special Edition 92 as a ADF does not load properly, it crashes, the one with the crack where you can switch NTSC and PAL mode by pressing the RMB, it has a blue screen come up, it crashes just before it should say insert disk 2 and shows the LEDs doubled on the screen, see pics.

Just tried this very version. Works 100% Perfect here.
Add game, highlight both Disk 1 and Disk 2, the click select.
Then select A500. (it will by default, use KS1.3, if not found it will fallback to KS Aros).
Then tick the use custom memory settings. Check its set to 512kb and 512kb.
At change disk screen, because both disks were highlighted, you get new option in pause menu.
Select Disk Changer, it will bring up to 2 disk icons. Select disk 2 and then exit pause menu.
Press fire and it boots into AB-SP.

Still have the original of this. Brings back lots of memories.
Saved up pocket money, then pre-ordered it on way home from school one day.

There is an issue, now fixed, when displaying the LEDs and  chnaing screen modes, this may be related, so possible work arround is to switch LEDs off in the System->Display tab.

Fix for this will be delivered soon.
