WHDLoad Question
« on: May 26, 2009, 08:12:27 AM »
What exactly does WHDLoad allow you to do?  Does it allow you to play any Amiga game from your HD?  Will it allow otherwise non-compatible Amiga games to work on your particular model Amiga (ex.  Alien Breed on an Amiga 1200).  Thanks.

Is the setup pretty elaborate, or is it a simple file you drop in the C: directory?  I believe I attempted to load it in the past but was unsuccessful.

which version do I use?  The WHDLOAD.dev.lha or WHDLOAD.usr.lha?  Which one is the more common version to use?

If you are using an accelerated Amiga 2000, will the games play faster or will the program slow it down to actual speed>  Thanks.

This is awesome.  For compatibility reasons, I had my Amiga 3000 stored away since it only ran about 50 percent of my software.  Now I can  use the 3000 for all my gaming and put away my 20 ton Amiga 2000.

So,  how do I actually install a particular game on my hard drive.  Do I first need to adf2disk then install back to hard drive with the installer?  Thanks.

When I try to install "WHDLoad", I get the following error message:  Unable to open your tool 'installer'.

Is anybody aware of this message?  What is the installer tool and how do I get it?  Thanks.
