gunit Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks gigapig, I read this earlier but found lots of amends etc to the post. Is this out of date now ?
nimpa Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Worked for me.. Set it up for 4 months ago.. Ofcourse i had to read a few more pages of it but working 100% btw what means with "amends"? Heh
gigapig Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 It's the best and only guide out there and should be fine afaik.
gigapig Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Sorry I made a cock up and linked to the wrong guide, the title of which didn't mention using the loader that's why I missed it, Boo! I don't personally use WinUAELoader any more and would recommend just using the WinUAE guide instead. That one emulator can be used for CD32, Amiga Demos etc. Here is the other one. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/2702-complete-guide-for-commodore-amiga-in-hs-and-RL-using-winuae-only/?hl=%2Bcomplete+%2Bguide+%2Bcommodore+%2Bamiga+%2Busing+%2Bwinuae+%2Bonly Here is the guide for CD32 http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/2410-complete-guide-for-commodore-cd32-in-hyperspin-and-rl-using-winuae-only/
gunit Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 I'm still confused, as in the pictures they show a rom.key file. Woud it be possible to share your files with me so that I can compare and correct what is missing ?
gigapig Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I'm still confused, as in the pictures they show a rom.key file. Woud it be possible to share your files with me so that I can compare and correct what is missing ? That may be in Rons folder but it's not in mine so you probably don't need it. Why is that file causing you trouble?
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I did have something for this in my FtP folder... think.... it may help Simply Austin's YouTube
gunit Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 heheheh no trouble, I'm just trying to do everything to the book. I guess my question is ... why is the rom.key file included in the images ? is it needed ? what is it for ? How can I get this ?
gigapig Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 It has something to do with unscrambling CD images in Amiga Forever, which you're not using so you don't need it.
gunit Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 oh cool - i'm just after the AMiga 500 - as this is what I had as a boy Thanks for your help
gigapig Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Just as well he didn't have any Brittany Spears pictures in there. Wouldn't want to explain those.
gunit Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 ok all done but ... 1) When I load the game in either hyperspin ot a quick test in RocketLauncher - the result is lines/graphics flickering. You can select games, get to a blue amiga loading screen but after this is a black screen with mulitple vertical flickering lines? 2) I have the official xml Amiga list and muliple game roms versions from various sources but lots have different names for certain games, no clean set - what can i do here ?
nimpa Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Run dons rom renamer? Or hyperspin rom manager.. See if they match..
gunit Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Any idea why games do not fully load ? blue screen with amiga and game details loads up but then goes to a black screen with lots of flickering lines almost as if its like an old skool game loading but nothing ever happens.
gigapig Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Nope. What are you settings in Winuae? Post some screen shots. What game, every game or just a few? Also post the host file you used.
gunit Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Here is a test when loading a game loads like normal with this screen:- https://www.dropbox.com/s/gwz0fo1svasnqs5/amiga-screen1.jpg?dl=0 Then turns to this screen which flickers etc:- https://www.dropbox.com/s/nvr2gj2e0tbe26a/amiga-screen2.jpg?dl=0
gunit Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 I have tested about 10 random games and it does this to all of them
gigapig Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I'll post my settings then, it may help if you posted your Amiga host file. I have not seen a screen like that before. Mine
gunit Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 hmmm I think my WHDLoad.key might be dodgy! - Do you have one I could test ?
rfancella Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Or you could buy a key. They are not that expensive and would help out the developer! They are still doing development on this software. Thanks, Ron Code Monkey and all around Command Line geek!If you like what someone has said or done for you, be sure and 'Thank' them. And if they changed your life, send them a Beer!
