Booting WHDLoad games from Startup-Sequence
« on: October 02, 2004, 05:57:35 PM »
I've been trying to get a few Amiga games running from CD on my CD32. I can make a bootable CD easily enough, but some of the games I want to run need too much RAM to be run from Workbench, so I need to work out how to run them directly from the Startup-Sequence. Unfortunately, this is a lot harder than it seems.

The game I need to get working in particular is Super Street Fighter II AGA. This game uses the latest, registered version of WHDLoad, and has a lot of gibberish in the Tool Types in the .info icon file.

I assumed that simply having this in the Startup-Sequence would make it work:

WHDLoad SuperStreetFighter2AGA.slave

But as soon as the AmigaDOS screen comes up, a requestor appears saying that the game needs the AGA chipset to run... even though the machine IS an AGA machine.

If anyone has any idea what I should be doing here, or another way of loading it on a 2MB CD32, please let me know.

The game is available to download at Planetemu (www.planetemu.net) and the WHDLoad Installer at www.whdload.de

I would only ask for help from anyone who owns this game, I don't support piracy myself either, however, if anyone using UAE would like to help, it would be easier to download the files rather than converting the disks to ADF.

I have tried adding C:SetPatch Quiet to my Startup-Sequence, and it comes up in AmigaDOS as this:

: Unknown command
failed return code 10

Yet it runs fine when I type it in from AmigaDOS.
