Nothing Runs!
« on: May 15, 2010, 07:37:43 PM »
As some may know I have an Amiga Inc A1200, with HD running WB 3.1, a trapdoor 8MB card or PCMCIA 4MB.
I can't seem to run any games, I have some floppies with old saved documents that run, but any games ran from WB or even reset boot from floppy don't work! I've tried Super Skid Marks, Total Carnage, Zool etc all original and a couple I have two copies.
Back in the day - 1999- without the 8MB and HHD the A1200 ran fine.
I have got a spare CA1200 which I swapped the floppy drive but it seems to be broke, I also removed the 8MB and put in my original 4MB PCMCIA card but it didn't change anything - any ideas?

I like the idea of WHDLoad....but I need to get it across to the Amiga....it isn't on the net or networked yet ;(......I get so confused over what I need to do! I only just remember the double mouse click boot menu.......it has been over ten years! ;)

Hi Cammy, well What I did was......got myself a serial cable, and Amiga Explorer, which is now running fine, I downloaded some .info games, which won't run because I need the WHDLoad file to install on WB? So I downloaded it from here http://www.whdload.de/index.html usr.lha, copied it to the Amiga and tried to install, the Amiga returned with not able to run Tool. Grrrr....any ideas on how to install WHDLoad? or was it the right file?

Thanks! What I've been doing wrong is when LHA was extracted it the file names was LHA_[CPU], so I renamed it lha.....then it has worked, extracted and installed Installer, and now it is doing WHDLoad.....fingers crossed!
