Typical for WHDLoad games are:

* An icon/metadata file "MyGame.info" and a slave file "MyGame.slave" (and most often a Data directory)
* The MyGame.info is set to type "project"
* The MyGame.info has WHDLoad as Default Tool
* The MyGame.info has a tooltype "SLAVE=MyGame.slave"
* The MyGame.info may have other tooltypes to pass on parameters to WHDLoad

That is all.

For some reason now when i go into my games folder and click on one of the games it shows the file name but has ".slave" at the end of it. When i try and load the game it doesnt load up

A Scalos window opens up saying

(see attached Image)

That is not how you a supposed to start WHDLoad slave files.

When i insert the CF card with all the whdload games on A-Z into the PCIMA slot for some reason it doesnt show them, ive checked to make sure they are not hidden.

Amiga has no concept of "hidden files".

Any suggestions?

Yes, somehow you are either not seeing, or you are lacking the icon files. On the PC, do you see also files names ending with .info, typically equivalent to that of the .slave file? If you do, then it probably just a matter of ScalOS not being able to display them properly. My suggestion would then be to install PeterK's icon.library, which is able to recognise and display all types of icons.
