ACA 630/25 32mb+1mb chip with WHDload?

[lauri.lotvonen]

Should whdload work without issues if I get the ACA 630 card with 32mb ram for my A600  with only the basic 1 mb of chip ram?

Im used to having the full 2mb of chip ram because I mainly use my A1200 with whdload without any problems.

But now I wonder that do I really have to get the 1mb chip ram upgrade as well if I buy the ACA 630 card for my A600 ?

A600 would be great for WHDload, since it's so small and it fit's perfectly under my TV table.

IIRC many loaders require 1MB of free chipram to work so an extra 1MB would help

Feel's a little crazy that I will have buy an accelerator with 32mb that costs me 160€ and a 1mb chip ram upgrade that cost me about 50€ ...
Oh well, a (amiga) man's got to do, what a man's got to do :lol:...

There are second hand expansions too (will cost you around ~20€) and DIY expansions wiring chips directly to the MB (and simm modules). But IMHO the 2nd hand option is less risky.

Just did a little testing using winuae I installed ClassicWB ADV pack, configured the WinUAE as following:

030 processor
ECS chipset
1 mb chipram
32 mb fast

All the WHDload games I tried ran just fine...

And do you use exactly the same WHDLoad settings? You could take your HD/CF and use it directly on WinUAE to see if it's related to ACA630 configuration or just a general problem of your OS/apps install
