WHDLoad usage with A600 is only neat if you have an accelerator installed.

Try using a vanilla setup with 2MB Chip / 4MB PCMCIA Fast ram, and you'll see that plenty of games refuse to work as they should, due to the 68000 cpu. It is missing some WHDLoad needed instructions, that only come with 68010+ cpus. Lots of games don't work due to this. :-(

@adolescent:

It could be related to my rev 1.5 motherboard perhaps. I am not sure. My tests were conducted with A600 rev 1.5 mobo, 3.1 rom, 2MB chip / 4MB fast ram, OS3.1 installed on the hard drive.

I can confirm that a lot of working games wouldn't exit, and a lot of wouldn't work at all (and yes, I know that I need to tweak the tooltypes when trying WHDLoad games between different Amigas...e.g. tooltypes that were good for A1200 don't necessarily work with A4000 with 060, etc.). :-)
