Problem with WHD load games

[Rocky1980]

Hi all,

I hope someone can help this is driving me crazy. I picked up one off those CF HD full off games for my A1200 now because I only had 2 meg of ram most off the games would not work but with some fiddling some did. I then picked up a PCMCIA tranfer kit and installed the drivers for that on the CF HD (it is split in to 3 parts WB GAMESI, GAMESII). I then took the plunge and picked up a ACA 1230-28 card from amgia kit, I have the jumper set to kick 3.0 (thats what my rom is 3.0), I also installed the ACATune software so the amiga would pick up the right amount off ram (64meg). However now when  I go to play ANY game all I get is a black screen with some gfx errors then if I wait long enough the red box with click left mouse button. This is drving me nutz I picked up this card so I could play some game now I cant run any !!! any ideas people

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me, right I have tried

CannonfodderPlus - Loads to a black screen then I get white/black boxes scrolling in a loop
Then I tried adding NOCACHE it just loads a black screen and sits there

CivAGA- Loads a black screen and sits there

Pinball Preluide - Loads a black screen and sits there

Zool2AGA - Loads a black screen with the odd bit of white flashing now and then, adding nocache has the same effect

Ishar3AGA - Loads right to software failure then machine reboots, nocache same thing





Does the screen rez effect the loading at all ?. I did install the Gloom demo before I put the card in, it did not work but with the card it now works. someone else said its because I am still using kick 3.0 not 3.1, or I might have to reformat the whole thing (something I really dont want to do)

SORTED, thanks all

Retro-Nerd on the english amiga board came up with the answer, turns out my CF card has a hacked WHDload key file all I did was remove this and games started loading fine. So Iam now off to pay for WHDload, worth every penny I think. I guess thats what I get for buying on ebay
