BUG : WHDLoad games cannot save/load

[balrog74]

Tested two WHDLoad games so far, I either get an error from JST (see attachment) or just a black screen ...

Pool of Darkness -> Error msg

It seems in the case of the error, it may be a current JST limitation. From the project readme https://github.com/jotd666/jst?cmdf=jst+slave

- the resload_ExNext function is not supported (yet): directory read won't work in games

Just tested Moon Patrol AGA HD from here -> https://jotd666.itch.io/moonpatrol500

Added mpatrol_HD.lha to A600GS, started it, AmiBerry Logo comes up and since there are two slaves inside the archive it asks which one I would like to start. Selected Moon Patrol AGA and it loads and plays fine, no issue here ...

I've just tried the same with my A600GS. I get a "Software Failure 8000 0003" after choosing the Moon Patrol AGA slave option. Firmware version 46.2.1069.

Yes, weird is right!
The ROM was imported but not using the official Amiberry naming convention. I've just re-imported with the correct name but still not working for me.

The file was amiga-os-310-a1200.rom (decrypted) from the Amiga Forever CD.

And this is exactly what is happening with any WHDLoad game I try to add that isn't natively supprted by JST.

This would appear to be the case for me too. I've only had mine for a few weeks and updated straight to the .1049 (I think) firmware.

I've had some (limited) success adding the Amiberry keyword _AGA_ into the filename of the whdload files before reloading on the A600GS. I was able to get Moon Patrol going this way and it also solved a freeze I had during loading for Ruff 'n Tumble (though this was a known whdload file). Unfortunately, this doesn't work for everything.
