Somethings gone horribly wrong!

Dopus can be run from the launch menu, or the right click popup menu, or from the default Workbench menu at the top of the screen.

A-Programs: is an assign that is setup to point to the program folder. It's so you can move it to somewhere else if you want (like another partition), and change one assign to update all the links. If that's not present, then it can't of installed correctly as the "s/userstartup" file isn't being called.

It sounds as if the install procedure has failed? Did you boot the HDF and follow the instructions?

[Tiago]

Yes i did it by the book, but will try again.

[Tiago]

Ok, i did it, now it worked Bloodwych.

Looks good mate.
But i could had decompress the zip file using winuae, and i did it in the A1200 witch took an 20 minutes but that's ok, ir really looks good.

Good job mate !!
I will now try to install whdload

[Bloodwych]

WHDLoad is already installed.

Also, a built in WHDLoad launcher is present in the Workbench. You just need to open that drawer bottom left (next to the launch icon) - it has scripts to add games automatically (any you've put in the Games drawer).

The ZIP method is not the only way to transfer files, it's only for people who want to send an archive over a serial cable for instance or have it split and copied using floppies therefore avoiding removing their Amiga hard drive.

You don't have to use that method. In the instructions, it lists using WinUAE as method 1. In that case, you didn't have to ZIP anything - just copy the files over directly. All the install disk does is unzip Amiga side, it's not required for installation just one way of copying the files!

In fact, once you've got the HDF running in WinUAE, you can copy the files over how ever you wish! Nothing else is required to activate it.

Ok Bloodwych,

very nice work!

That script doesn't seem to do anything when I've tried to run it.

That script doesn't seem to do anything when I've tried to run it.

I can assure you it works fine! All you need to do is unpack some WHDLoad games into the games directory, then run the script.

On a default install, it finds Bloodwych, which I've already included.

If you've unpacked your games elsewhere (eg not SYS:Games), you have to tell ClassicWB where to look as described on the webpage instructions. Open up the "s/user-startup" file (can be done under settings->startup->user) and change the A-Games: assign to where you're unpacking your games (eg DH1:Games)

Everything will then get updated on next reboot - the menus, the scripts etc, as they all use the A-Games: assign which you can set as outlined above.
