I am busy testing out the machine. Put my roms in place and everything is going nicely.
Now, when I try to install WHD files to the launch menu I hit a dead end.
I select a whdload .lha archives and add it. It boots - the Amiberry logo pops up - and then it tells me that DH0 is write protected.
What am I missing here? :-)
-
Well, actually. I cannot got ADF's, HDF's or WHD's to run.
I have roms installed. Sometimes it goes to kickstart3.1 when I launch a game from ADF.
WHD's all boots and then tells me that device DH0 is write protected.
If somebody has any success with this I would like to know how they did it?
I really want this to work. It is a nice little device - networking and all.
-
What Configuration have you chosen ? If you want to start an ADF that is for A500 be sure you got a KICK13.ROM imported and choose A500 config, for WHDLoad games you got to have a KICK31.ROM, config will be choosen automatically
works fine here :)
-
Well, it goes like this. :-)
In the pictures I have added a whdload Aladdin.lha-file
-
Just tested with Aladdin AGA WHDLoad Slave 1.7 and it´s running fine, please re-check if your kick31.rom file is indeed an A1200 Kickstart 3.1 Version 40.068 (test it in WinUAE maybe) ... if I delete that from my imported ROMs Aladdin won´t load ...
Also you could check the LHA if all files are in there (.slave and data directory) ...
-
Thanks! I will unpack the Aladdin lhd to see if it is all there.
But it looks like the rom is okay, doesn't it?
-
40.063 is Kick 3.1 for A500/600/2000 ... ;)
-
Sigh... :-) I will test with this one instead!
-
Thats the one.
-
Great. I will use this rom and this All new world of Lemmings AGA-lha files. As you can see the data is there.
-
Sadly that did not solve the issue. It remains the same.
I use the rom tested on WinUAE and the Lemmings.lha I showed yesterday and it still goes like shown in the pictures.

Then I´m running out of ideas here, just tested the exact same WHD LHA from your screenshot and it works fine ???
Maybe you have to restore your system partition, maybe some files missing ? I really cannot tell :'(

Like SkullEater, I'm at a lose, as mine also all work perfectly fine.
-
Thanks. I will try to restore the system tomorrow. It is a really lovely piece of hardware, but not as useful as hoped right now. :-)
-
Well, I tried to restore systemv46, work og programs to default and that did not change anything.
I still get the Volume DH0 is write protected for all WHD.lha files. I guess there is nothing left but to contact Amigakit support about a refund or repacement.
Thank you for your help.

This might be a silly question but why do all your filenames have a dot underscore prefix?
I presume you are loading in the correct files and not "thumbnail" from somewhere?

LOL, I didn´t even recognised that ... that are files created by MacOS on volumes not using the HFS+ Mac filesystem when using the Finder and yes, they contain infos about icons and things ... You can remove them by doing "sudo dot_clean /Volumes/NAMEOFYOURVOLUME" and since they do NOT have a copy of the needed files inside (since they aren´t really LHA files) you cannot use them of course :o

Great I missed that too. I believe he has already reflashed his entire SD by now.
MacOS is stupid. I remember when I used it, it filled every dir of my nas with rubbish files.
-
macOS is stupid?
Windows does that too!
I would dare to say Amiga OS is stupid. Those files in your NAS told macOS all interesting things about your files, the comments, the tags, creation date, access dates etc.
AmigaOS is stupid, you copy something to a different file system and protection bits and comments are gone.
I did that once, I copied some files to an usb stick went to windows and it was full of stupid .info files, but all the comments were gone and all the protection bits too, even when I went back to Amiga. That's very smart of AmigaOS! NOT!
Btw you can tell macOS to refrain from writing those files to a NAS or any other external drive, all together or selectively. Wow, how stupid!
And if it is a good NAS, with more than only windows support but macOS support to, you should even be able to tell it to hide those pesky files you wrote about.
-
I look into this on friday when I have the day off. :)
I have not yet found the time to reflash the SD, so perhaps I got lucky.
-
And I just tried this morning anyway - and it works! ;-)

Don't know what versions of windows you have been using, but it only puts "volume information" in root of a drive. MacOS dumps a "_MacOS" and "_Trash" in every directory. We are well aware of moving files across different OS's can cause issues. Hence anything Amiga related is done on Amiga side and either lha'ed or Zipped up. Nothing gets altered then and all protection bits are happy.
That was when I tried MacOS on my old nas's. Now using OMV6 (which creator must be an Amigian and it has lots of Amiga easter eggs, :)). Haven't used MacOS in atleast 8 years.

Glad you got it working, was it naming of files in end?
-
Yeah, it was as simple as the file names. I should have seen that myself...
