boon

First off, YAY for Frode being active in here and I thank you both for bashing your clear minds to get all this as user friendly I always wanted it to be. I first thought oagd hashed the whole zip so if you changed the argument in the info files you would then have a game unrecognised for FS and therefore kinda unable to be editable. Nice that it isn´t. Now I´m a bit puzzled if I should post issues/features here or in FS forums but I might post them in both places. When I launch Alfred Chicken AGA, WHDLoad version, there are tick boxes which I guess is directly switchable arguments? Is that just possible if the WHDLoad releaser make it so or is there a switch? Would've been nice if they added joystick support to tick the buttons.. To see games in lister that isnt even in unreleased state so that it would be easier to filter or make configs for etc. Possibly bad if non amiga game zips is in same folder. Would make it easier to help oagd? Some games would really be more enjoyable by playing with a faster CPU or equivalent config. Such as Extreme Racing or Gloom. Maybe some would break but would it be possible to have an option to use 030/060 on all WHDLoad games that uses A1200 config without making a special config for all those? Also applicable on CD32 games. Would such changes be ok to report to OAGD? RetroArch have really neat shader configs (I find crt-super-xbr amazing!) would those be possible to have those in FS? To be able to launch two instances of FS to play linkable games (Lotus 2, Populous, Stunt Car Racer, Extreme Racing) like it was just a split screen. It´s apparently possible with WinUAE according to this thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=68529 . This would be super! Enhancement 1. Explanation window when hovering over edit buttons. I too was unaware of this nice feature, thought I could change to a custom name there or something. Bug: When I scroll down the lister in FS it jumps back up to top when I come to Adventure Quest which seem to be unclickable aswell. There are more games where this occurs, all seems to be games I don´t have. I´m trying out 2.9.3dev portable x64 version but recall I had the same issue in earlier version as well.

Yeah your right, this will actually only specify the whdload arguments if you start it through workbench and or use the .info file to start the game. And it wouldn't say what processor to use for sure. Oh well doing special configs for some games wouldn't be too much work either I suppose. Glad you could help my buzzing mind again

Ah yeah I dreamt too far, would've been nice to be able to include extra parameters that overrode the config. Atleast for now it will be quite easy to specify all CD32 games to use 68030 processor in a commandline through launchbox, since they all seem to use the same settings. Argh! I almost feel like I'm about to unpack and edit every damn .info file with proper config and repack em just to be able to handle them as any other rom file afterwords. Wouldn't take TOO much time hmm.. joined forces anyone?

It would've been nice to be able to bulk modify games config in FS-UAE. As in general you will benefit, atleast on most AGA games, of using a 68030 processor. To get a snappier games, like in UFO enemy unknown. I guess I'm better off doing that extra bit in LaunchBox, right?

I had to try one more thing and it turns out the workbench question pops up if you try to run a game with a replacement rom, i.e. I tried to run Citadel without real A600 rom and then the question pops up in amigashell. Not that it seems to matter though because the game still crashes with or without workbench disk (setpatch) and with or without real rom anyway

I had watched it about 4 times by then because as I said I'd really like this to work and I am very thankful that you did such a detailed video. What you think I'm talking about is the WHDLoad.prefs file but there is/was a WHDLoad.key file that I meant and that was MY mistake.. just forget it About the lha zip thing, maybe I was too detailed. Simply said if you don't have the exact same release of whdload game, i.e. if you make the dump yourself, then fs-uae wont help you with the setup. However, I had the 2.8.0 x64 version and today I tried the 2.8.1u3 x64 version and now everything works as intended. No workbench disks queastions no other wierd error! And to my pleasant surprise FS-UAE also recognized newer releases of whdload games in the lha format. Now ill just pump Frode for my last whish Sorry to have bothered you! And again I'm really thankful for your video!

Sorry for long answer but I really want this to work; This tutorial couldn't have come more timed with me really. I recently bought LaunchBox because I wanted the simple way to add roms -> choose emulator and flicker thrue old time games for some fun with friends. And I waited till last with the Amiga which is my primary aim for this because I used it a lot back in the days and because I really want to use WHDLoad for the games that is supported and for those who isn't I can do adf/dms. What I wish for is to have only one (the best looking) version per game. So if theres an AGA version I want that one only. With a lot of other emulator roms I could use "1G1R" (one game one region) with some programs but that wasn't easy to track down how to do. Now for the first question about the key I meant the registration key for WHDLoad, but I looked through your video (a few times) but couldn't spot you talking about it anywhere so ill just blame that on the fever I had when I wrote it <:). About the dual emulation setup ill see if I can ask Frode instead or manage to set it up myself. If manage I might do a tutorial ;). Now I've been trying to set this up but the first problem that occurred was that the A600 rom wasn't found amongst the Tosec (0.04) until I let it scan the "modified roms". I that why you had some problems maybe? Second problem was that when I wanted to launch a WHDLoad game it needed a Workbench disk 3.0 . NOT the latest 3.1 disk but 3.0. "Luckily" I got one of those but that wasn't mentioned in the video? Third problem was that you have to have the exact release of the game to get the info on how to launch it. Now that is quite weird since if you'd owned the game and used whdload install and then zipped it you would probably not end up with the same hash that Frodo got on his files.. which means I now have to find the same releases that he used. Since KillerGorilla doesn't do any updates any more and a few games cant be unzipped in windows the files nowadays seems to be double packed zipped lha files which cant be run through FS unless you simply unpack the zip and run the lha file. So this kinda sucks since I really want proper setups. I already had all this set up on a single amiga hardfile and using X-bench as "launchbox" but I really like the launchbox frontend.

Great tutorial, too bad you have to fiddle this much even with FS-UAE. The keyfile for whdload isn't needed anymore, since last release one year back. Your not even able to register if you wanted. Doesnt FS-uae come with that version? What would be awsome is to be able to launch two UAE at once to play all those linkable games like discussed here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=68529 Could you help on that Zombeaver?
