Welcome to the Home Page of WHDLoad, the AmigaOS
friendly
Harddisk-Install package. WHDLoad makes it possible to install quite a lot
demos and games, which were originally designed to run only from floppy
disks, to your harddisk.
There are two versions of the WHDLoad package. The USR package
contains the documentation and all programs which are required to use
WHDLoad installs. The DEV package contains all files from the
USR package plus addtional programs, sources and support files.
The DEV package is the right choice if you want to create
installs for yourself.
Both packages are provided in LhA and LZX format.

If the install does not work ?
First, don't panic, don't swear at the install, don't swear at WHDLoad
and don't flame at comp.sys.*.*. If you want, curse the company which
has created your broken software so that it needs to be fixed and
installed.
In fact all installs are written to work with an ORIGINAL,
that means that the install will not work with versions which has been
altered in any way.
Before sending a bug report, yourself should try to solve the
problem. There various things you can do:
- check the version of the install and WHDLoad, make sure that you are
using the latest versions of both, many installs require the latest
WHDLoad version, also installs will be updated from time to time - so
check if there is an new one available
- check the Tooltypes (or the options if started from the CLI/Shell), many
things can be adjusted setting Tooltypes, there is hardware which
requires that you set the correct Tooltypes, maybe your system is to
fast - so set NoCache, some games are working only under PAL or
NTSC - so try the Tooltypes PAL and NTSC, some extra
hardware creates at random interrupts which confuses the installed
games/demo - so try Tooltype NoAutoVec, sometimes also the
Tooltypes NoVBRMove and NoMMU may help
- read the readme or other documentation supplied with the
install, it oftens contain important issues about the install, his using
and his limitations
Although all installs are tested before public release, a bug might have
escaped unnoticed. If you think you discovered a bug, write a detailed
report of your problem to the author of the install. For this use the
bug report form which can be accessed if you click on the author on the
download pages. Try to report your problem accurate. If the authors
aren't informed about bugs they can't correct them.
Note also, that the reasons for problems are often an different
version of the game/demo. Many commercial games have been sold in more
than one version (full-price-release, budget-re-release,
coverdisk-release, PAL/NTSC version, ...). Of course a install can only
work if it has been written for the version you have. If you have a
different version of the same game, it won't work. In that case, you
have to contact the author of the install and ask him to support your
version.
Best viewed with any Browser. If you have problems, suggestions, new slaves
please contact me.
