Interesting discovery about whdload
« on: May 17, 2010, 09:33:51 PM »
There is somthing very interresting I found about WHDload.  For the longest time, I had a difficult time exiting out of games.  I could never exit and I would always have to reboot my Amiga 2000.  I am currently using a Lyra keyboard adapter w PC keyboard and I found that either "f10" or the asterisk "*" key will exit out of games about 95% of the time.  It's funny because it says press "PrintSCRN" but that never seems to work.

I think it depends on how the game package was made, doesn't it?  Different keys exit for different games.  Usually it says what the exit key is during the load window.

It usually says "Prntscrn" but that never works.  If that doesnt work, then the "*" key does work.

The PrntScrn button is the * button on a real Amiga keyboard.
