Whdload tooltypes

[Darrin]

I've just started playing with WHDLoad for the first time.

I took a basic OS3.9 install for my A4000, used that to create a "Classic Workbench" environment using the "Classic Workbench AGA" package, renamed and copied the KS1.3 and 3.1 ROMS into the correct DEVS draw, downloaded, unzipped and copied all of KillerGorilla's WHDLoad files into the correct folders and discovered that it is very hit & miss as to whether games work or not.

For example:

Alien Breed Tower Assualt AGA - works perfect.
Defender of the Crown - hangs during the intro.
UFO Enemy Unknown AGA & CD32 - both state that the wrong kickstart A1200 kickstart file is found.
Xenon 2 Megablast - works perfect.
Dune 2 - hangs during intro (after selecting language).

Don't know if it is my Warp Engine 68040 card that is causing the problem.

Configuration:
A4000 with 16MB on mobo, Warp Engine 68040 with FPU and 64MB, Mediator 4000, Indivision4000, Fast ATA4000 (Workbench on 35GB SFS partition of a 80GB hard drive), Deneb, Soundblaster PCI, Cybervision 643D & Virge PCI cards using P96.

Darrin,
 
Have you tried stopping Poseidon before running the games?
This seems to work for me...

No, I haven't.

Thanks for that tip - I'll give it a go.

Cheers.

If that ends up being the solution, you could always set WHDLOAD to stop POSEIDON on launch and then restart poseidon when you quit out of WHDLOAD..
 
Of course I'm way too lazy to do that myself so I just stop Poseidon every time I want to use WHDLOAD
 
(Coincidentally, I have a WarpEngine 040 as well..)

You were right.  All I need to do for the locked-up games is turn the Deneb controller offline in the TRident prefs and they work a treat.  Thank you.  

Unfortunately I still have the issue with the kick40068.A1200 ROM image on a few games.
