WHDLoad, the AmigaOS friendly Harddisk-Install package, version 16.8 has been released.
WHDLoad makes it possible to install quite a lot demos and games, which were originally designed to run only from floppy disks, to your harddisk.
New/Changes:
*** 16.8 (19.08.2007)
- fix: the requester displayed when audio.device is already used defaults to 'ignore' now, so it works in combination with option NoReq/S (Horace)
- fix: the online help displayed when WHDLoad is called from the CLI without arguments has been fixed for the options Cache/S and DCache/S (Hexaae)
- fix: CLI args fixed to fault on too many arguments (Psygore)
- chg: the install template supports installing from disk images via diskimage.device, trackwarp.library and capsimage.device
- chg: kick31.s supports also the kickstart image from the A500/A600/A2000, with that it is possible to make Slaves using kick31 which are compatible to a 68000 CPU (Don Adan)
- new: WHDLoad itself disables the interrupts of Mediator boards now while running the installed program, this should solve problems like freezing and gfx/sound distortion on these boards, thanks to John Girvin and Elbox for providing the solution
- chg: WHDLoad now avoids opening the WorkBench screen after exiting,older versions have always opened the WB if no other screen was left open, requires at least v39
- new: WHDLoad now shows the task name on exceptions if there was a working amigaos running, it also shows segment name and offset if SegTracker was running (inside emulation of course)
- new: option NoMemReverse/S added to the global configuration (Ralf Stützer)
- new: catalan translation of documentation, thanks to Manel Beltran
- new: its now possible to use special rawkeys for the QuitKey/N option to let WHDLoad quit from a button press on the mouse/joystick/joypad
- chg: some changes to the kickemu, check history therein
