Amiga 1000 and Whdload

[paul1981]

You can set the quit key in the global prefs file; this same quit key will then apply to all WHDLoad slaves, except in cases where the QuitKey tooltype is specified in the actual game or demo icon file (it won't be unless someone has set it). Edit the file S:WHDLoad.prefs and locate the QuitKey line and change the hex code to the one you'd like by referring to the keymap above. You can use Ed to do this which is included with every version of Workbench. Open a shell or equivalent and type in the following:

ed s:whdload.prefs

Make the edits and then select save from the menu. Then load a game or demo and test out your new QuitKey.

From the icomp ACA500 wiki:

"WHDload lists the 68010 processor as a minimum requirement for using the Quit-key and return to the Amiga's Workbench. The ACA500 has special circuitry that lets you use the WHDload quit-key at any time, although you "only" have a" 68EC000 processor. This is supported by WHDload V17.2 and higher."

If yours is the plus, I doubt they would have dropped this feature. Re-check your config. :p
