Help with WHDLoad and Mediator
« on: April 08, 2008, 11:24:52 AM »
I cannot get any WHDLoad image that requires a ROM to work on my A1200.  I'm using WHDLoad 16.8 and it is registered.  I'm using the ROMS from Amiga Forever 2006 ISO and have moved and renamed the ROMs in DEVS:Kickstarts.  I did not install Amiga Forever.

My A1200 has the following hardware:

Mediator SX / Voodoo3 and Ethernet
Blizzard IV 030 50mhz + SCSI, 64MB Ram
Subway USB, clockport
OS 3.9, no boing bags

WHDLoad starts fine and displays the splash screen with my registration info.  The screen then goes black and the games never come up.  I can hit the exit key and return to workbench without any problems.   I've tried using the NoCache, NoMMU, and VooDooInit=NO flags with no success.  Games that don't need ROMS work fine.

Thanks for the help!
Bubba

Yes, I have the rom.key in devs:kickstarts.  I did not install Amiga Forever, I just copied the roms from the iso image.  I assume I don't need to install it.

I have a cypress CM-348S scan converter.  I'm staring Whdload from an AGA screen not from a voodoo screen.  This works fine for games that don't require roms.

I've tried many settings with no luck:  nommu, nocache, etc.  I found the VoodooInt reference via googling, but I think it applies to an older version of whdload.

My next thought is that it's some hardware issue.  I am using a wireless keyboard connected to a Lyra adapter.  I had a probelm with a wireless mouse where one game would freeze.  It worked fine with a regular mouse.  I'm going to try a wired keyboard and see if it improves the situation.
Thanks for the help.

Update...

I booted with the start-up sequence disabled and whdload works!  Now I've got to figure out what's causing the problem.
