whdload packs?
« on: January 29, 2008, 11:32:33 PM »
i'm trying to work out if these are the full games all ready sorted for quick use? if so do you just drag and drop them onto your amiga hard disk? i like that idea i don't want to have to use floppy disks.
i will bless them that bless you. i will curse them that curse you. gods promise to his chosen people the jews.

There are packs where they are the full game and you usually have to unzpip them and then they work.
(assuming you have whdload and the keyfile)

They are illigal unless you own the game

You don't need a keyfile for WHDLoad, there will just be a delay each time you run a game.

The downloads links on the  Amiga Forever site has links to free legal downloads, including WHDLoad packs.

Everyone should register whdload. It is the best thing that happened to Amiga.
A4000T, 604e@400&060@66, 128MB+16MB+Zorram256, CVisionPPC, VLabMotion, Toccata, XSurf100&RapidRoad, Prisma Megamix

A1200, Blizzard060@50, 256MB, Blizzard IV SCSI, FastATA mk4

many WHDLOAD slaves will not work with unregistered WDHLOAD installs....

£15 is the price. It is the best Amiga purchase that I have made in 10 years!

"requirements: a minimum of 1.0 MB RAM (sometimes more, it depends on the installed program)"

is that fastram? just wonder how well it works on a stock a1200?

It really does depend on what game you play. Extra Ram will allow you to use the preload option which makes the loading of games quicker

it's all setup and installed and i've managed to enjoy some games. but alot of them keep nagging about silly version named kickstart roms i haven't put in my devs/ kickstarts because none of the rom images i have seem to work.

any idea what versions they are supposed to be. and where to get them? i am legal to use them all.

job done.

Nice attitude. Then I guess life is too short to waste on games as well.

But seriously, don't expect people to just mail you Amiga ROMs out of the blue. If you really have those ROMs, just fix it yourself. Read the WHDLoad documentation, it says exactly what these ROM files must be called, and what else you'll need. :rtfm:
Theology is just a debate over who to frame for creating reality.
