I preferred the BetterWB and rolled back after I couldn't get igame / whdload working with any games on ClassicWB. But after installing WHDLoad in BetterWB I couldn't get anything working there either so back to the drawing boards and reading. This should be easier....

I'm with "carvedeye" TSgui has given me best results writing ADF's :)

Experimenting with new Kickstart ROM's and I do it on the Amiga else I set all up on WinUAE first since it's a lot quicker and if I need to copy over huge amounts of files and some larger ones then minutes compared to hours is a big plus.

@mbob -  Wait what? Did you put the kickstart images in the correct location (Devs:Kickstarts/)?

Sure did, and even reformatted my system to ensure the CF card transfer was set to 0x1FE00

It crashes to GURU.  I am playing around with it working in WinUAE so I may have a compatibility issue with my Falcon 040 accelerator.

Games play just fine from disk but no matter what I do WHDLoad crashes.  I run Memtest in workbench and it spits out error after error so there must be something up with the 040 board.

Hi, I can speak for BetterWB itself only: ;)

There is no impediment whatsoever to install and use WHDLoad with it. Many people have reported it working without issues. If you are sure you didnt corrupt your installation, it is surely a hardware issue.

I used to have a Falcon 1240 some years ago. I remember I used falconpatch (Aminet) to fix some problems it had. I also remember falconpatch was kickstart dependant. Maybe it helps...

Do you have a correct 68040.library in your LIBS: ?

The Commodore 68040.library will work fine and was supplied on the Workbench Install Disk IIRC.

It is there and I tried using the falcon's custom install disk which may patch it as well.

I think this Memtest failure is pretty key to this.

Have you tried booting with no startup-sequence from a cold boot, and then running Memtest?

My bad, the memtest tool was for a 680000 or 020.  I can't seem to find a 040 test tool.

Do any WHDLoad games work at all? Are you clicking on the games via their icon? Have you modified the WHDLoad.config file in S: at all? Does everything else work okay other than WHDLoad games?

Scratch that, its the memory.  32MB stick and copying files to RAM: always crashes around 16MB.  I will need to research and see if I can find a dimm for this board.

Trying this FalconPatch now: http://se.aminet.net/util/sys/FalconPatch.readme

This gave some different errors with WHDLoad getting devs:kickstarter/kick errors.
 
 It also did not fix the system crashing when ram reaches around 16GB (half).  So I guess I need to start hunting down some ram for it.

I just grabbed one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/161121922148

And am crossing my fingers this is the fix to all my problems. I also dug a post I made when I bought this 1200/040 in 2011 where I seemed to have traced this to the memory then. I did buy a SIMM back then but it wasn't good. This one is advertised for an 040 so wish me luck.
