Title: Problems with HDF & WHD files
Post by: SpoonyUK on August 24, 2024, 03:49:35 PM: Hope everyone is well.

Enjoying the a600gs and looking forward to upcoming features etc..

Hope someone can offer some help or direction regarding the title. I've seen how easy it is to add a hard drive image for Frontier and play it, however when ever i try with a hdf format file it just goes to the dos prompt. WHD files load and amiberry logo displays ( sometimes red, sometimes blue), the file system sometimes appears but after selecting an slave, it crashes and resets.

I've even tried restoring the system but that doesn't seem to do anything (think that's been mentioned previously).

This may well be user error as I'm coming back to amiga from my original A500.

Yeah that's what i have been doing. but the only things i can get working are adf (not all of them) and cd32. whd files or hard drive installs are the next challenge.

i have all the roms from amiga forever imported but still nothing.

I've got just about every ADF working, you might need to select a specific machine like A1200 and it should use the A1200 ROM. I used the ROMs from the AmigaOS 3.2 disc, I also added a 1.3 ROM for the Amiga 500.

I've not bothered with stuff in other formats.

Also if the WHDBoot archive is setup right, that should work fine wth AROS (A600GS) setting using JST. Games I have tested work fine, with standard AROS and AROS roms.

I have already mentioned this. As there are no options for ram, like when using adf's.
