Well you'd better hurry up it won't be "state of the art" for very much longer..... :-P

Wow! The difference of the real thing vs. YouTube is quite startling. And easy.

Put Aminet6 cd in, click on SOTA, dms it to a floppy, warm reboot, choose ECS & Nocache, and viola!

Hmmm... this still isn't working my A1200 with WHDLoad.

I did DMS it to a floppy and it didn't work either.  it crashed about 4 seconds in.  I did try ECS, but I don't think I selected Nochache.

What type of machine and expansion?

What are you doing wrong that it isnt working yet? Haha... Can you show us whats in your SOTA directory, DEVS:Kickstarts and make sure the 2 important WHDLoad binaries are in C:?  When you ran the SOTA Installer did it report any problems?

Version of WHDLoad: 16.7.4217 (16.11.2006)

I've tried just about everything. Still no luck.

I even removed my accelerator board and clock board and booted from floppy with ECS and NOCACHE.

No luck.  I also tried a degrader. No luck either.

I just added NOAUTOVEC and NOMMU and I made it about 5 or 10 seconds into it and it locked up. Arrrgh!!
 :pissed:

Oh wait, I got it!!  I rebooted in ECS PAL and tried again.  Whoot!

Unfortunately I tried the same steps with FutureWars and no luck

How did you run the installer? Which version of SOTA did you use?

What does your S:whdload.prefs look like?

Where did you get your ROM? Make an image, download, or Cloanto Amiga Forever CD?

[vic20owner]

You must have missed the last part where I said I got it working

I don't remember which SOTA I used. One of the two from aminet (not the exe).  

WHDLOad.prefs has everything commented out.  I wasn't even aware of this file. Looks like I can globally disable a lot of the things I am doing in the tooltypes.

The goal now is to get future wars working.

CDW sells them. Imation is still manufacturing these disks.

If you had to reboot and use the early boot screen, you didn't get it working. If you get WHDLoad working, ALL of this crap will work for you, with no silly stuff like having to reboot and pick ECS.
