Commodore Amiga up and running

[KMHamel]

For those of you who want to run Amiga games under hyperspin:

Need:

1: Whdload amiga games.

2: Winuae loader version 1.73 (http://headsoftware.net/index.php?category=winuaeloader)

3: WinUAE version 2.3

Use Hyperlaunch

Settings:

[exe info]

path=C:\Hyperspin\emulators\Amiga\

rompath=C:\Hyperspin\emulators\Amiga\games\

userompath=false

exe=WinUAELoader.exe

romextension=zip

parameters=

searchsubfolders=

pcgame=false

winstate=HIDDEN

hyperlaunch=true

Add this to the hyperlaunch script:

;**********************************AMIGA***********************************

else if (systemName = "AMIGA" && executable = "WINUAELOADER.EXE")

{

hideDesktop()

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

Run, %executable% -mode whdload -rom "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%, UseErrorLevel

process, WaitClose, winuaeloader.exe

}

Change the paths and names to what your setup requires.

Under winuaeloader remap keyboards a and b to your joysticks.

Port 0 should be keyboard B and port 1 should be keyboard A.

You now have the commodore Amiga up and running.

Now who's making the video snaps.

I have a problem getting this to work in hyperspin but it may also be an issue i have with the loader ,after getting the loader working and loading up roms i couldn't get filters or a good fullscreen setup so i changed the emulator/loader cfg to enable filters and fullscreen stretch but after saving the cfg i load up a game via the loader and i seem to be getting the emulator window opening up and then when i click run via emulator the rom loads as expected wih filter and stretch.

If i try to load up via hyperspin all i get is the loader window ,any help would be great

thanks.

I will check my system and see if I made any changes. I believe I setup the loader for fullscreen and other features outside of Hyperspin. Once the settings were saved It ran fine under Hyperspin.

What software do people use to create flv files?

[corbo_uk]

Just to add to this thread. I use winuaeloader and the following bat file which I name "amigalaunch.bat" in the same folder as winuaeloader. I call this bat file from hyperspin.

"amigalaunch.bat" contains:

winuaeloader -whdload -game %1

The "%1" is the parameter passed to it, which is the path and rom name passed to it from hyperspin.

A simple solution, but it works well for me. Hope it helps someone.

I set this up, and it tried to load the game, then says game.slave not found, up in the top of the amiga game screen. On every game I try. Any ideas?

And the Game.slave is the name of the game I am trying to play, like North&South.slave or Turbo.slave ect..

[ChazMan]

Corrections, My Roms were Double Zipped, Weird.. But the game starts to load, then says Kickstart rom cannot be read. And I have all the Kickstart roms.

Any Ideas?

}

How do I use this "hyperlaunch script"?

Sorry, still a bit new to HyperSpin.

[rfancella]

Are you using RocketLauncher and HyperLaunchHQ? They have their own new scripts. This is a very old thread.

Thanks,

Ron

I am indeed using RocketLauncher and HyperLaunchHQ.

When running an Amiga gane through HyperSpin it seems to start HyperLaunch but nothing appears on the screen, WinUAE or WinUAE Loader never appears.

The process for HyperLaunch stays minimized in the system tray and I can't launch another game before I terminate it manually.

Same thing occurs when trying to run an Amiga game through HyperLaunch HQ.

However running it straight through WinUAE Loader it runs the games just fines.

I'm currently testing it with the WHDload rom of Cannon Fodder as I know that loads flawlessly in WinUAE.

Anyone else had this issue or know how fix it. I'd love to get Amiga running in HyperSpin.

EDIT:

Here's some info on the folder structure.

WinUAE and WinUAE Loader in:

"H:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Commodore Amiga\WinUAE"

Kickstart roms in:

"H:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Commodore Amiga\WinUAE"

Amiga game roms in:

"H:\Hyperspin\Games\Commodore Amiga"

Amiga settings (from "Commodore Amiga.ini"):

[exe info]

path=H:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Commodore Amiga\WinUAE\

rompath=H:\Hyperspin\Games\Commodore Amiga\

userompath=

exe=WinUAELoader.exe

romextension=zip

parameters=

searchsubfolders=

pcgame=false

winstate=HIDDEN

hyperlaunch=true

HyperLaunch Amiga settings (from "Emulators.ini"):

[ROMS]

Default_Emulator=WinUAE Loader

Rom_Path=..\Games\Commodore Amiga

HyperLaunch WinUAE Loader settings (from "Global Emulators.ini"):

[WinUAE Loader]

Emu_Path=..\Emulators\Commodore Amiga\WinUAE\WinUAELoader.exe

Rom_Extension=zip|info

Module=WinUAE Loader.ahk

HyperPause_Save_State_Keys=

HyperPause_Load_State_Keys=

EDIT 2:

Well that's just nuts.

It works perfectly now after deleting the "HyperLaunch.log" inside the HyperLaunch folder.

I do not think this is 100% what fixed it, but it is the only thing I did.

I'll return if it occurs again OR if I found out what really fixed it so others who have the same issue will be able to fix it! Yay

Please, everyone remember to turn 7z to false as I describe here.www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?29476-WinUAE-Loader-1-74 winuaeloader does the extracting for you, so no need to ask HL to do it as well.

Just tested the Amiga with 7z on and off.

This is exactly what caused it! Thanks man for solving the mystery. You're the best man.
