WHDLoad questions

[Stuffu]

I’ve read numerous guides and watched a lot of YouTube tutorials but there are still some things I can’t figure out.

Most of the guides are pre amiberry that includes whdload so and I’m not sure how it all applies to current version.

I can start games from RetroPie and most works, some don’t. Especially AGA games.

It doesn’t seem that I’m actually using whdload, rather the default config that works with most games.

Is there anything I need to install/do to get whdload auto booter to work as intended? Like getting a database, run a script? I don’t think a .slave file is created for instance.

And I don’t have the games in lha format, they are all in adf if that has anything to do with it.

Edit: Saw somewhere about file locations that don’t match with where I store them. Mine are stored in /Roms/Amiga.

Appreciate any help!

@Stuffu The WHDLoad auto booter makes use of .lha archives, not .adf files which are disk images.

To set up Amiberry on RetroPie, please refer to the Amiberry wiki: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Using-Amiberry-WHDBooter-with-RetroPie

Thanks, so basically if I archive every file to lha it should work?

Also, i’v read somewhere that multidisk games should be all .adf in one archive?

Thanks again!

Not quite, it's more involved than that - try searching Google for "adf to whdload" for more info.

Please read the documentation I linked in my previous post and it should make the process straightforward.

Ok I think I got it, so a follow up question. Let’s say I have whd package that is in zip format. Should it stay that way or unpacked?

Thanks again!

@dudleydes

Or I need to compress the uncompressed files back to lha? Struggling a bit here, sorry

Guess that worked, sorry for all the posts, eager and stupid is a bad combo :)
