No WHDload does not and will never work under OS4.

The nature of OS4 design makes it impossible.

Which is why it sucks ass for classics.

I cannot imagine UAE runs fast enough under OS4 to be fun, especially on a BPPC 160MHz 603e. I doubt even a 233MHz 604e is much fun.

Seems stoopid to use UAE with "OS4 classic" when the Amiga's hardware and a perfectly good 68k CPU is in the box.

If you must use OS4 then create a dual booting setup with an OS3.9 partition so you can reboot to play games using WHDload.

(Or more likely, create an OS4 partition that you use once and takes up a load of room on your hard drive!)

If gaming with WHDLoad is all you do then you won't need a 4000(T), 040/060 or RTG card anyway.

But it makes the browsing to the WHDload icon a much more pleasurable experience ;-)
