How the heck do i use whdload!!!!

[doctorq]

the game is on the amiga hard drive perfectly, I think my problem is that i didn't configure WHDLOAD at all.  How do I set up the settings in WHDLoad so games word.  Am i supposed to first start whdload then click on the .sla game icon, or is WHDload always running in the background ready to start?

If your extension is called .sla, you haven't installed the game correctly. Unpack the archives on your Amiga instead of a PC, and doubleclick the icon in the drawer.

WHDLoad doesn't need to be configured, it's just an "executer" for slaves. All it takes is for the WHDLoad file to be placed in C: (or any other system path). Configuration is done in the WHDLoad.prefs file, but the program works fine with the default prefs file.

It's posted on the splash screen when you start the program.

Remember to register if you haven't already, it's by far worth the small amount it costs.

Where do you get your games from and how do you unpack them?

The reason for games not running is most likely because your computer doesn't meet the requirements; the games requirements can be seen in the readme.

Again, if you have to enter a command to get it started, you either have uncompressed the archive wrongly or have gotten a badly created archive.

Have you checked that the files on the CD hasn't been made into 8.3 format? Get an unzipper from http://www.aminet.net instead and unzip them on the Amiga instead.

The archives on http://www.whdownload.com contains all the icons and files needed to run the program, so I believe the files burned to CD isn't in the correct format.
