It is unfortunate, but many of the WHDLoad games were worked out and tested on machines that were not like the ones they are being run on (yours, mine and others).  If you really want it to work, you may have to code the game yourself on your setup.

Well, I've tried it and I get the exact same error! :laugh1:
 Seems as though this could well be a slave error.  The slave was written in August 2006, so it maybe works with a WHDLoad version from 2006.
I don't suppose this is a game that many people are interested in, and so this error has slipped through the net.
There's a lot of slaves for OCS/ECS games that are written to require a 68020 CPU & KS3 which is crazy, as all OCS/ECS games ever required was 68000.
One such example is Bubble & Squeak for the A500. I did my bit there and submitted a bug report last year via the Mantis Bug Tracker. It was one of my favourite games and I saw no valid reason why I shouldn't be able to play it on my A600. As of yet nothing has been done about it though, and I'm not holding my breath.
My advise... use an A1200 for WHDLoad, as that appears to be the target machine when it comes to slave testing and development.

Well that's a relief, I thought I was going stir crazy!!!

Thanks for your help Paul.
