Unfortunately, although I already knew I needed the files above ending in A500 and A500.RTB, I'm not sure where to get them or how to install them

Oh for the love of...

And just stick them in Devs:kickstarts, as already mentioned above. :D

Try playing around with the "Preload" option in WHDLoad.  You might be able to save a little bit of memory that way.  Also boot with no startup-sequence, etc.  But you probably already know that, already.  ;)

So far, I can only see little squares instead of proper icons.

I'm looking for a list of WHDload games and demos which will run on an A1200 with only 2Mb fitted, but at the moment I can't find one, so it's just pure luck that any of them work. Not long ago, there were some lists of these games under eBay CF cards, but now there are no lists saying 2Mb. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which games work and which don't.


As has already been suggested, install the Peter K. icon.library to correctly view NewIcons-format icons.

And for the love of god, get more memory! You know you need more memory. We know you need more memory. I do not understand why you are wasting so much time struggling with this and banging your head against a wall when simply adding more memory would solve 100% of your problems.

Well, maybe not 100%, but close to it, as far as your Amiga is concerned. ;)

I don't think there's any point me installing the Peter K. icon library, because I can already see some icons I need to click on, but also because I think this would use more RAM.

Why, then, do you bother complaining that "I can only see little squares instead of proper icons" when you refuse to install the tool that would fix that for you? GAAAAAHH.  I give up. :(
