Can't install WHD loader
« on: November 23, 2009, 09:15:20 PM »
Hi, I'll be completely honest I am struggling a bit here with the new Amiga.
 
I got one of the PCMIA adaptors with a CF card so that I could port files across from my PC to my Amiga. I managed to get at up and running so that I could see the CF card in workbench, but I couldn't see the files on the card. They are LHA files. So I used EasyADF and then extracted the WHDload installation file from the CF card onto the internal memory of the Amiga 1200. However everytime I click on the install icon I'm simply told 'Can't open needed libraries.'
 
Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
 
Can someone point me in the direction of a guide to get whd load running on an Amiga 1200 and get the games off the website as well using the PCMIA adaptor. I'd love to get a game of project x going but I can't figure it out.
 
Cheers in advance for any help guys.

Well, somehow I managed to get it unpacled on the amiga 1200, but now everytime I install it. I just can't find it anywhere. There is no icon for it in the directory where I am installing it. Its like it installs but the Amiga has no record of it afterwards.
 
If I try and click on 'install game,' for any of the games I get the message unable to open your tool 'installer.' message.

Is there a guide on how to do this anywhere because the only message I keep getting everytime I try to do anything is 'unable to open installer.'
 
I downloaded installer 43.3 as suggested elsewhere on the internet, but to no avail. Some games don't require installing. But for those ones I get a window saying please donate and then an error message saying 'can't allocate shadowmem.'
