Quote from WHDLoad reg page, " Starting with WHDLoad release 18.2 a registration is neither required nor possible. Please update to the latest available WHDLoad version. "

Yours is version 16.8? Might be the problem.

 

Is the WHDLoad_usr.lha or the WHDLoad_18.2_usr.lzx file i need?

I downloaded the WHDLoad_usr.lha (which is supposed to be the latest version) and extracted in WHD folder of my WinUAE (Following the tutorial)

The .lha file was capable of being decompressed with default 7zip. The .lzx was an unknown file association. I would probably stick with the .lha for simplicities sake.

History for that file states version 18.2 and restates that registration is not required or possible.

So i downloaded WHDLoad_usr.lha (as in the video) and still get the Register Warning

Hey @ci2own, I updated both WinUAE and WHDload last week, the only thing I needed to do to make it work was remove the key.reg file and it worked, otherwise I got a weird error, so my problem was solved just removing that key file, I'm far from being an expert in this system, just trying to help somehow.

I have two keys, one in kickstart rom folder and one in OS rom folder. Which one do you refer to?

Same, i removed ferst the OS rom folder and RL asks for it when run a game (so it's needed). Then i deleted the one in kickstarts folder and i can start games but still says "Not Registered"

If I remember correctly, it was a key that needed to be placed in WHD/S, today I don't have any key there and it was the only way to make this system work now.

Also, make sure you try an updated fresh install for both WinUAE and WHDload, the only way to run Amiga after a few tries was doing this update, just copy your kickstart roms to the new fresh install and try it.

Same here Aorin (WHD/S).

What sort of garbage? I remember that was caused by a cracked WHDLoad key which you no longer need of course.

That's it! Having problems with Amiga in HyperSpin I was looking blindly for any solution on my own. So I downloaded the WHDLoad key. Now I removed it and it works great. I don't get "not registered" message mentioned by ci2own, too. Thank you very much!!!

I have one last request: could you point me to the place, where I can get wheel art and other media for Amiga? Maybe it's my fault, but I don't have "Commodore Amiga" on systems' list in HyperSync

I did a new install:

Extracted WinUAE 3.4.0 on          D:\Emulators\WinUAE\WinUAE\

Extracted WHDLoad_usr.lha on   D:\Emulators\WinUAE\WinUAE\

Create "rom" folder in                   D:\Emulators\WinUAE\WinUAE\

Placed OS Roms with Key in        D:\Emulators\WinUAE\WinUAE\rom\

 

Games are working but still can see the "Not Registered" Screen when launch a game.

 

(No Kickstarts ROMs added)

 

Maybe the OS Folder Key.ini is wrong? It has a poem inside ?58b8706505542_Capturadepantalla2017-03-02alas20_19_46.png.c00d53b3ad233d69b0403f24006bdca1.png

Ok, my bad, problem solved :)

So now almost everything works fine. I have just one tiny problem: I can't make The Settlers to run. When I try to start it, the WHDLoad says "Can't allocate ExpMem" and quits. My ROM name is "Settlers_v1.5_0143.zip". Is there any workaround?

After my first setup following the guide, my sound is very crackle, and the games seem to run very slow, Anyone seen this or any ideas what settings to start messing with?

Hi, i come back to test a fresh install but i have a problem and don't find a solution :

i setup the amigahost.uae, change everything i need and setup game ports 1 & 2 with keyboard, but when i launch a game by rlauncher to test, the config is changing, game port 1 setup with mouse etc ....
i have save here :" Configurations/Host/amigahost.uae"

Any idea ?

Thanks

Did someone run 'Flashback' and 'The Settlers' on HS + RL + WinUAE?

I tried both of those and my ROMs got to the WHDLoad screen but didn't start.
