WHDLoad installer errors out, #800000003)

[TheBilgeRat]

I'm trying to install WHDLoad onto my Hard Drive, but it gives me this error every time.  I d/l the whdload user package from the whdload website.  I am wondering if it is just my setup:  A2000 ECS agnus, 1meg chip, 2 meg ram.  Am I just lacking the "oomph"?

Also yes, you may need more ram, at least another Mb of CHIP RAM, though some games "might" let you get by with what you have.

There was also an issue with installing with 68000 processors at some point, ran into it myself but can't remember what the fix was.  Different C:Installer file, maybe?

In which case you'll want to use pre-made HDF images if you can't install.

I got around it by telling the WHDLoad install to use a different Installer executable.

Right on.  I went to HDToolbox and found no widget that would let me mess with MaxTransfer rate.  It is a SCSI hard drive, tho...Not too sure if that changes anything or not.

Which installer executeable?  I actually snooped around on the hard drive and found that whdload had been loaded at some time (unregistered, so it gives a nag warning.).  On any .adf image I try it on (whdload FOO.adf) it says not enough memory.  Even Ultima 4! :lol:  I'm thinking I need to keep on keeping on with the adfblitzer until such time I can boost to 2meg chip and some more ram in general.

My fault, for some reason I was thinking you were using a Compact Flash card with IDE adapter.

I think you need a little more ooomph.  Check out ebay, there is a 68020 Accelerator for sale.  Sale ends pretty soon; a little more than a day.

You don't run adfs with whdload. You need a whdload installer for the game to install it on your hd. Installer packages can be downloaded from the whdload website. Most installers require that you use real floppy drives as source so you need to write the game adfs back to floppies. Depends on the installer if it accepts "modified" versions of the game.

I will try it the proper way today, and while I'm at the website I'll RTFM :lol:

Thanks!
