Adding WHDload games
That doesn't work for me. I have no options to choose. It's only adding a WHDload file and then when clicking start, it ends in a workbench screen doing nothing. But Think that has todo that I need to do something in Amibench first. I added the Kickroms/starts in the Devs folder in Amibench. So that part is done. So A video tutorial about that would be nice.

Adding WHDLoad is as straight forward as ADF, just add the LHA file in the A600GS menu but you have to be sure to add the game with the game data and not only the installs :)

Amibench
Amibench needs work...What I read it should like workbench and also WHDload should be installable, but when I download it from the WHDload website (usr version) and install it, then the install freezes in the install wizard after clicking installing for real and want to install it on "c" or anywhere else. I haven't done much yet, but these crucial stuff already wrong. Also the speed, there should be something done about that. When opening stuff (apps) or going through an install wizard it really has big slowdowns. Normal clicking into folders going fine.


Don´t install WHDLoad, just copy the WHDLOAD executable from the _usr archive to C: and that´s it ... oh and IF you want to install anything, be sure to use the INSTALLER43-3 from Aminet instead of the InstallerNG :)

Unfortunately no, I tried many HDFS and WHDload games from different known sites, like the FTP grandis.nu and whdload.com etc, just doesn't work.

There is no WHDLOAD.COM, if you mean by any chance WHDLOAD.DE than be aware that this site do NOT offer the full game, on that site you can only download the INSTALLS for the games, so you will need to provide the Install Disks yourself and make the game out of it ... those LHA archives can not be added to A600GS menu ;)

Oh and the WHDload games still do not work in the A600GS standard menu. I get this error with a workbench screen of 1.3: "Unknown command FAILAT"

WHDLoad games use A1200 config if I´m not mistaken, so it seems your Kickstart 3.1 rom is the wrong one or not detected correct. You can make a test, just download the ADF in the attachment of this post, add it to the A600GS and choose A1200 config. If you start it and get a Kick 1.3 screen, you need to use a working/correct kick 3.1 rom :)

- Slowdowns and unstable Amibench (errors regualrly when using apps in Amibench), not using it much yet.

Well, AmiBench is a Workbench Replacement using AROS, Not everything and every App works anyway or maybe with errors, you may have a look here : https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=76782.0 :)
