Amiga WHDLoad is not working

Nukethepeace

I just swichted from Recalbox 18.04.20 over to Batocera 5.15 with a fresh install on a 64GB SD Card.
I set up the Amiga WHDLoad games as on recalbox but they won't boot up.
I tried Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000 Amiberry cores. It just goes to the Amiga kickstart screen and that's it, while on Recalbox the game was loaded.
I put the correct Kickstart files in the bios folder (checksum MD5 is correct).
The games themselves went to the amiga1200 or amiga4000 roms folder incl. a .uae file I already used in recalbox. The game itself was put into a folder also tried them keeping them as .lha compressed file. Doesnt work either.
Oh yeah, .adf games load perfectly with Amiberry on both A1200 and A4000 systems.
What am I missing?

on recalbox somebody developed the support for WHDLoad.

they asked us to not use it :

nadenislamarre Would it be possible to bring Amiberry for Raspberry Pi build of Batocera? In the current version, it has much better WHDLoad interface than even FS-UAE on the PC.
It is simply possible to load archived (ZIP, LHA) WHD games directly via command line. I know RetroPie uses this emulator an and WHD games can be launched directly from ES. With this in mind, there's no longer need for separate sections for various Amiga models in the ES as Amiberry uses internal database to emulate correct Amiga model based on the WHD game loaded. Another neat thing about it is that Amibery can use analog stick as mouse in games that use mouse as primary controller.

Best regards.

Amiga WHDLoad actually works on Batocera 5.21 x86_64 in very basic form described here: https://fs-uae.net/whdload-support. You need to put every WHDLoad game into zip package, internally it should also contain folder with full game name.

In Nov. 18 voljega write:

This was only implemented in Recalbox by me, not in Batocera.

@nadenislamarre
Now that the 'exclusivity' period is long gone, I give full permission to Batocera's team to use my code if they want to implement WHDL usage in recalbox

I will respond in this subject if there is any technical questions.

Anyone managed to mount an hdf file with Fs-uae ?

I think this is through editing a config file with details of A1200 settings and saving it ClassicWB.fs-uae

Would be cool to run amiga OS in a future batocera update.
