Title: WHDLoad error
Post by: bradhansen1 on May 10, 2025, 06:53:53 PM

Hi all, whenever I try to run a game in iGame that calls for Kick34005.a500 rom the programs crashes with
the message that there was an error loading this kick rom. Got this rom from Amiga Forever so can anyone suggest
a fix or tell me what I can do to get this fixed? Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks,
Brad Hansen

Do you have the kickstart named correctly and placed in Devs/kickstarts ?

The md5sum of mine is 82a21c1890cae844b3df741f2762d48d

Yes, let's assume I have everything setup correctly. I can play lots of other games that are not calling for
this particular ROM file. I have no idea what this " 82a21c1890cae844b3df741f2762d48d' means or where to find
it.
Thanks for the input.

Amiga Forever ROM files are encrypted. You have to copy the rom.key file along with the ROM file. Or run Transrom or a similar program inside Amiga Forever to save the unencrypted ROM.

You have OS 3.2 right? Type this in the shell and press enter:

md5sum devs:kickstarts/Kick34005.a500

If you get same number as me, your file is identical to mine and should work.
