I had similar situation, I wanted to have one machine with KS2.0-

It is OK, but everything is x times difficult than with KS3.1/OS3.1, so I give up and bought 3.1 roms.

You will need old version for new icons, it will gave you some problems.

Without it you will get strange screen corruption when you open folder wich has game inside, wich doesn't have that few pixel bog normal icon, wich should be there. Some of them doesn't have that.

You can't use PeterK's icon.library because it doesn't support KS2.0. That would be best/easiest solution.

You might want to have magic menu wich has also some problems.

If he's only using it for gaming, then Peter K's icon.library or Magic-Menu doesn't matter. Just stay with ROM 2.x. The standard icon set is the same as the icons from 3.1.
And WHDLoad works just fine. No problems at all!


It sound logical, but it doesn't work that way.

Prety much every whdload game you can found has new icon. It is not easy to start those games with that bog standard icon wich is sized to 0,5mmx0,5mm. And there is also some games wich doesn't have event that and they crash system with KS2.0

Editing some hundresds icons would be pain.

About a crash. It happens when you open a folder wich has a newicon wich doesn't have that bogus standard icon sized to few pixels. It corrupts screen and it you try to do anything else than close a folder, it leads to crash.
