WHDLoad and SFS
« on: January 23, 2006, 07:59:27 PM »
I've been having trouble getting any of my WHDLoad games to work on my system, an A1200 with Apollo 1260 66Mhz, 32Mb fast, WB3.9 BB2.  I've just copied my old HD contents accross from my PC, which I was using with WinUAE (all the WHDLoad games run fine on WinUAE).  Everything was working on the A1200, except WHDLoad.

However, after attempting to boot with no startup-sequence to see if this would cure the problem, I found that I could not access my DH1: partition which had all the games on.  AmigaDOS gave me the error 'DH1: Not enough memory available', after typing DH1: and pressing enter.  DH0: however, I could access fine.  Both DH0: and DH1: are using SFS.  I then rebooted, and tried copying a game accross from DH1: to DH0:.  It ran fine from DH0:, but wouldn't run from DH1: giving the error 'Exception: Access fault ($4008)'.  I don't see how it won't run from DH1:, when it's the same filesystem and all the other data on DH1: seems fine.  Has anyone had anything similar to this?

Thanks in advance.

Ok - I ran setpatch in AmigaDOS and now I can see my DH1: partition.  I tried running WHDLoad from the command line, but to no avail - I still get the same error.  Yet I try running the same game from DH0: with the command line and the same parameters and it works!  Which is a shame because my DH0: partition is not large enough for me to copy all the games over.  D'oh.

I checked the maxtransfer for DH0: and it's set to 0x0001FE00, my DH1: is set to 0x00FFFFFF.  Could this be the problem?  One thing tho, I did copy a couple of games from my DH1: to DH0: and they started working, so if the files were corrupt on DH1: then surely they shouldn't work when copied to DH0:?

Thanks guys, I got it working.  I changed the maxtransfer of DH1: to the same as DH0: (0x0001FE00) and now it's working fine. :)
