Amiga 600HD problems

[Harrison]

That is good news. So it was just a bad partition setup causing the problem.

Do you only have 2MB of ram in the A600? If so you will need to disable precaching for WHDLoad games otherwise you will find many run out of ram trying to load. This is because by default it tries to cache the whole game code into ram for much faster loading and access. With limited ram you can disable this, so it loads each part as needed, and it isn't much slower.

Take a look here for how to edit this if you need.

Yah i have 2mb.

I have tried some games. Turrican 2, Ruff 'n' Tumble, Super Cars II, R-Type 2, Dogs of War and it works fine.

I will do the disable precaching thing. Thanks for the tip =)

I just checked my WHDLoad.prefs and i dont have any PreLoad entry in mine. So i dont use preload?

Here is my config

That is the default config file that comes with WHDLoad. It doesn't include most of the options listed on the config page I linked to. You would have to add them to the file to activate them. But as you seem to be getting games to run with the default setup I would leave it as it is from the moment.

You can also manually change settings for each game, rather than globally. For individual games you can remove the "Preload" entry for that game by editing a Game's Icon Tooltypes. So if you find a game that won't run, or crashes, then you could try this to see if it helps.

Now i use the shell to start games.

ex:

whdload dogsofwar.slave

how do i disable preload?

Like this?

whdload dogsofwar.slave preload

[Harrison]

Yes that is correct.

You could also try:

whdload game.slave PRELOAD NOVBRMOVE

As some people have said that helps.

You could also try adding the following into your WHDLOAD.PREFS file as some report this helps greatly when the Amiga only has 2MB of ram available.

ReadDelay=50 
CoreDumpPath=ram: 
NoFilter 
SplashDelay=0
