Just enjoy the 500 Commando.. ie as it was intended. Sure, get a 590 or a GVP HD+ ( better ) and a small amount of trapdoor

I agree. I liked WB 2.04 because it allowed me to softkick back into 1.3 a hell of a lot easier than when I upgraded to WB 3.1/3.5 on my A500. WHDLoad works for most of the games quite well however.

How is softkicking to 1.3 from 2.04 any easier than from 3.1? I have no problem whatsoever softkicking to 1.3 from 3.0/3.1. (not that I ever need to use it - WHDload solves any compatibility problem I ever had)

You do realise that the ultimate A500 was in fact a Checkmate.


@mr_a500: Don't know, it used to work until I upgraded to WB 3.5, and I can no longer go back. Maybe 3.1 would have worked, but 3.5 won't, (I believe the later Kickstart patch runs in ram during boot)

What are you using? I can't remember because WHDLoad works great anyways...

I may just go back to 3.1 if that works OK.
