I can't get a single WHDLoad game to work on my A600GS!

If you open the Manage ROM Files Tab, what Kickstarts are listed there ? Can you make a screenshot ??

Here's my ROM files (just in case)

By the way, when a WHDLoad game is started for the first time, I keep getting a notice that the Setpatch is not found. Why is that, and what might it affect?

Well, a little update. Some WHDLoad games aren't working, but they are, however, working fine on AGS 2.7, from where I copied them. WHDLoad Autoboot initializes for the first time, and then the title exits. I'm going to try downloading those games from the Turran FTP EAB and see if it makes any difference.

I thing your problems are rom realted.

Setpatch will only be there if it's needed.

From my own experience with WHDLoad games:

1. You need a full complement of ROMs (1.3 and up). It sounds like your Amiga Forever ROMs are still encrypted, if you have a Windows install I believe the ROMs are decrypted after first run of the Amiga Forever emulator.
2. Not every WHDLoad game will work - partly because the A600GS uses JST instead of whdload. Use ADF/ISO/HDF instead, or you can run them from an Amiga OS install (you'll need to install whdload).
3. Enable "Faster Chipset" and/or JIT as a last resort. They're just as likely (if not more so) to cause problems as fix them.

Whoa! I finally did it! The Cannon Fodder WHDLoad version started to load at last! The problem was that I had to uncheck the "Use Faster Chipset" option, which was preventing the game from running for some reason.

Use faster chipset was added as an experiment for those requesting options for WHDBoot games, (previously default setup was always used). It's can causes quirks though and you should always start with it set to off and only turn on if you experience slow performance on a heavy blitting game. This would also explain the flickers in the ADF version BTW
