Amiga Emulation WHDLoad don´t work?

PhantomLord80 · 2018-10-30T19:08:07+00:00

Hello, I try to use the Amiga Emulator. It works well with a lot of ADF-Files. There is a way to use WHDLoad insted of ADFs. It is more comfortable for Games...

here is a testversion for the raspberry pi 3

kodi is not working, i have trouble to download the sources.

to activate whdload you have to set whdload as core in the advanced gamesettings for each amiga platform (or rom).

sorry for this terrible hoster.

i can't join your chat in this moment. sorry. maybe later tonight.

PS: This code is up to date with your github code.

PSPS: Please chnage amiberry to this version:
AMIBERRY_VERSION = c4cf0a009c4efabc0bbcc1527c5afd9ec1eafb3d
its the final v2.24b9 from yersterday

nadenislamarre

hum, there things to change.
did you create the patchs yourself ?

nadenislamarre

but don't worry i will include your work.
i've to take time on it first.

kara2010

all patches are made by me. its the first time, sorry if you have to work on it. Whats wrong with my patches?

All sources that i send to you are made by me.

nadenislamarre

ok nice.
dont worry you did good job, but it cannot be 100% the first time

nadenislamarre

nice job. i've started the changes.
can you just explain me :
- why it uses retroarch config files ?
- how to recognize a file is whd ? it has the .whd extension ?

kara2010

Hi,
i use Retroarch config files because in the last version from amiberry it is the best way. This make sure all controllers from batocera supported and works out of the box with amiberry. And this makes custom controlls working.

here is the wiki from amiberry to the controller stuff.
https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Setting-up-Input-Controllers

To recognize it is a whdload zip file you have to chose it as core in the advanced settings. I do this to keep the nomal adf support. so you can use zip/adf and zip/whdload together. you can switch whdload on to every system like a500 a1200 ...

nadenislamarre

ok. can you send me a whd file so that i understand please. because ideally, the enduser must have not action to do.

kara2010

here is a demoversion from a game.
https://www.file-upload.net/download-13413674/GodsDemo_v1.0.zip.html

you have always a gamename.info file in thwe root from the zip file.

you have to look for a .info file to recognize it is a whdboot game.

if you never test whdboot you will love it. And you never touche aggain a adf file. make no sense.

kara2010 if you never test whdboot you will love it. And you never touche aggain a adf file. make no sense.

There is still a lot of games which only exist in adf format.

so @kara2010 your solution (well amiberry's native solution) only is compatible with lha/zip format for whdl ? not decompressed folder ?

good work on integrating newest amiberry's version 🙂

kara2010

@nadenislamarre

please add lha extension to amiga for whdload.

lha is the new format for whdload, zip is outdated.

Files are similar to zip. you have a gamename.info in the root of the archiv.

kara2010

new amiberry version v2.24b11:
AMIBERRY_VERSION = aafa0a03c661cea12cf3c20d8cecb09d89247ba1

tested and works like a charm

nadenislamarre

kara2010 ok i note these points. i've done most of the work ; i've to finish and to show you.

nadenislamarre

5.20 beta in the forum for rpi3 works with whdload.

kara2010

whdboot working at the moment for lha/zip. this is right. Is there any reason to place unziped games on your sd card ?

the whdboot support don't touch the adf support.

voljega

kara2010 my custom solution for recalbox used uncompressed folder that's all.

does official integration supports saved games (I suppose so) and if yes how ? is the zip/lha modified or some extra modified content saved somewhere ?

Hello everyone !

I am trying to make WHDload roms work on X86 with batocera 5.20. I tried to copy some files I had working on recalbox into the amiga 1200 folder. When I launch a game (.uae) I have a screen with a moving floppy disk and with written 3.1 rom but nothing happens. To be more precise, I have in amiga1200 folder for each rom:
- a file named romname.uae (empty file)
- a folder named romname.uae (containing different files and folders)

Is this the good way to proceed? That would be nice if someone takes some time to explain how to proceed (and maybe useful for other users). Thanks!!

chris256

chris256 That would be nice if someone could give me a link to explain how to proceed (or tell me if WHDload is even supported on X86). Thanks and have a nice week-end!!
