Installing Games to Hard Drive that Don't have a WHDLOAD install

[AmiDude]

The most Amigans think that they are dependent from WHDLoad.
That's not true...
I run several games from HD that doesn't have a
HD-installer, or without the use of WHDLoad.
If the game is no NDOS, just copy the disk contents
to a directory on HD. Eventually you can assign the
game.
Then you can use little programs like "RunIt", "Run500",
"SetChipRev" or "Degrader" to run the game.
If your processor is 68040/68060, then turn of cache
and burst with the Cpu command: "c:cpu NOCACHE NOBURST".
This does the trick for me 9 out of 10 times with
old games that doesn't have a (WHDLoad)HD-installer.

I admit that WHDLoad is a nice piece of software,
but not all WHDLoad games work flawless on expanded
Amiga's. With WinUAE it's even with more errors.

Try getting original games or uncracked adf's if you just want to install.

I tried to install several original games with WHDLoad such as "The Killing Game Show". It failed on every Amiga I have ánd WinUAE. WHDLoad gives repeatedly strange errors
when trying to install. This is not the case with all
games, but it does happens sometimes.
I succeeded to install and run several games without WHDLoad just using the "CPU NOBURST NOCACHE" command and with help from little programs like RunIt or Run500.

Sorry for grabbing this old thread, but the content is very interesting.

....Would be nice if the persons above would share their knowlegde und perhaps put some links to the software they talked about.

Thx
