Hi Austin. Got to say that if it wasn't for you, my wife and kids might have seen more of me in the past few months. Ive always dabbled with emulators, and even built a name cab in the past, but your videos made the possibilities amazing. Now with launchbox also, I can do in minutes what used to take hours on hyperspin. Keep up the good work, I hope that dodgy adsl gets sorted.

Yes this also works with my setup. Save / load first manually. Then the quick saves work. As ive said on oracs fsuae thread, I'm working on individual configs for adf files. Downside is that its long and other than providing my files I cant see how its easily duplicated.

Thanks for this Orac. I am also working on adf files with individual configs, to be able to save. Tested a couple of games, now just need to sort / find the best versions of each game. Its a very long process.

Hi. To my understanding the quick load / save work ok whilst you are in the game but once you have closed the game down you cant reload the last quick save.? The main problem is that games that save to Floppy cant long term save when they are WHDLoad file. Please do tell me if i am wrong.?

OK. Here goes. Please accept my apologies this is my first guide so I hope I don’t miss any “Crucial” steps. What you need to start. WinUAE WHDLoad (Registered) WinUAE Loader Amiga Kickstart Roms First extract WinUAE into the folder you are wanting your emulators to be located. Do the Same for your WinUAE Loader. As you can see I have created a WinUAE Loader for each of the systems I will use (and an extra for demos). Next extract your WHDLoad files and copy them into each of the WinUAE Loader folders. Copy your kickstart roms into each WHD/Devs/Kickstart Folder Ok now onto configuring. Run WinUAE Loader Paths Tab. The Sections boxed in RED are the only sections you need to set if using WHD Files. The WinUAE Exe is self explanatory, This is the location of the WinUAE EXE File. The WHDLoad section is the location of your Amiga Game WHD Roms Input Tab This is broken into 3 sections. Input options:- Ensure that this is enabled to allow controllers to work with the games. Exit Options:- This allows you to set the key that will close WHDLoad. The Default is Esc but as the Amiga games use that key quite a lot I changed mine to 19 (Pause/break). It also allows you to set how long it takes to close. Default is 1 Second. Input Mappings:- Allows you to configure the various inputs available for games. (I didn’t change this) Configs Tab Im not sure if this is needed but I change the Amiga configuration file location to match the location in my WinUAE folder. Settings Tab The Red sections are all you need to configure, Use the settings displayed. Tools Tab If you want to test your settings, make sure to change this section to WHDLoad. Now on to launchbox. As usual go to: Tools Manage Emulators Add Give your emulator a name. Set the location of your Winaue Loader EXE As we are using WHDLoad files you will need this command line. Don’t for get to add the Associated Platforms. Thats all you should need to get the games running. Just Import some roms and test. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I promised you the ability to save games. Its not pretty BUT It works. Load the game you are wanting to play. When you are wanting to save don’t use the games usual save process. Instead Press F12. This will bring up the WinUAE properties. On the left choose Miscellaneous As you can use the Save State function to save your game and Load State to reload the next time you play. Once Saved or Loaded click OK to go back to your game. I am sorry if anyone was already aware of this method. But for me its the easiest way at the moment. I know that you can map the save state and load state buttons so my next task is to find a way to make this possible and a smother process. If i do i will let you all know.

Ok. To quote an ancient Greek. EUREKA. Using just WinUAE, WHDLoad and WinUAE Loader i now have my WHD files loading (although some appear to run a little fast). BEST OF ALL..... I can save on all games. I have tried on a few but especially the best game in the world the AWESOME Dungeon Master. To be honest saving is completed via a almost unknown part of WinUAE and a bit of a cheat, But it works. At the moment it is 10:15 pm here in the UK and I've been at work all day. As such i will try to post a complete guide, with screenshots, sometime in the next few days.

Well it would seen i was a little premature. The only Winuae, WHDLoad games that save are the ones for the CD32. I still have all the games working but not the save feature. I wonder if i could write a BAT file to mount the standard .adf files correctly and run WinUAE.? Back to the Drawingboard

Hi all. New to the forums and launchbox as a whole. Ive been playing around with Winuae, WHDLoad and Winuae loader this evening and I think ive cracked it. Every game i've tried, loads. On the one game i've tried (Cannon Fodder), i've been able to save and reload the saved game, even after a full system reboot. Ive also managed to import well over 100 games into launchbox and tested successfully. I don't have big box so cant vouch for that. I'm going to give it another run through tomorrow (will test with Dungeon Master) and hopefully will be able to provide screenshots / guides how I did it. BTW there are also no legal splash screens.
