Upgrade Workbench with ADF files
« on: April 01, 2012, 01:21:32 AM »
Hello,

I have an Amiga 500 with KS 3.1, but with WB 1.3 on a HD.

I can easily get ADF files to my Amiga, but I can't do anything with them.  I tried to install ADF_Device, but it doesn't work.  Also I tried WHDLoad, but it also doesn't work.  I'm assuming because I need to upgrade my WB.

I have the WB ADF files for 2.x and 3.x.

Which version should I install? (my main purpose is WHDLoad/games)

And is there a way I can mount ADF files with WB1.3?  Or write them to a floppy?

Thanks,

Neofree

I dont know if it is compatible with your version of workbench but the programme i use is TSGUI which is on aminet fantastic little prog for transfering adf images back to floppy :)

Use the program "ADF Blitzer" and write them back to floppies.

Thanks, should I use WB 2.x or 3.x?  Just want to be able to play the most amount of games (old and new) for A500 via WHDLoad.

Neofree,
Doesn't using WHDLoad require some form of accelerator and expanded memory, it
 won't work on a stock 68000 System.
