 |
|
| I am wondering, is it somehow possible to boot Street Rod with WHDLoad? I found out an unofficial WHDLoad-package that should work. But first it gave me an error message about wrong place of kickstart file. I solved this by using older version of WHDLoad. But then I got second error about corrupted image files! Is there any possibilty to play this with WHDLoad with A1200 or must I really play this with an emulator? |

| There's no official WHDLoad install because no one has been able to donate an original copy of the game. |

| There are people at English Amiga Board who have managed to play the unofficial WHDLoad version of Street Rod. Their fileserver was also the place where I found my package. It would be really nice to have an official version, but meanwhile I would be more than happy if I could play my favourite game with this work-around. |

| Ok, I found out now that you can boot Street Rod I with A1200 without WHDLoad install. You only need to have floppy version and boot that in WB with OCS turned on. It works perfectly! |

If you're running the generic install from CLI you must use CUSTOM1=2 tool type.
example:
WHDLOAD SLAVE=Streetrod.slave CUSTOM1=2 PRELOAD
CUSTOM1=2 tells the slave that the game is on 2 disks, if not the game will quit with an error.
An easier approach is that you rename WHDLOAD (16.8 ) to WHD168 and copy it to C where WHDLOAD resides.
Then edit default tool in Street Rod icon (right click / info) to WHD168 instead of WHDLOAD.
