rom placed on "sd card root" does not work

[goofyseeker311]

so where the rom should be placed, /media/fat/ and ./games/amiga/ does not work.
with the amiga forever 10 roms 1.3/3.1 renamed to kick.rom or KICK.ROM with recommended settings.
even selecting the rom location from the settings does not make the rom loading work.

in /media/fat/Amiga/
after selecting, save config to default.

[goofyseeker311]

did not work before. have you tried recently. I cant guarantee amiga forever 10 roms files are correct tho.

not /media/far/games/amiga? but /media/fat/amiga? nope none of the options for the rom location work.

maybe amiga forever 10 roms are broken?

[sorgelig]

ah, sorry /media/far/games/amiga of course.
not sure about amigaforever roms. Aren't they encrypted? Minimig supports some encrypted roms, but i'm not sure which exactly.

[goofyseeker311]

yeah they were, had to use the rom toolbox to get the normal roms.

one button would make things easier, swap disks button (between loaded disks).
edit: alien breed 1992 special edition does not want to continue from "insert disk 2" when loading even if the correct working disk (winuae works with 1.3 kickstart rom) is inserted. not with mouse clicks or fire button press.

edit: with 1.3 kickstart rom a500 the fire button does not work when it asks for disk change but with kickstart 3.1 rom a1200 the fire button works and the game loads fully.

edit: numlock as (undocumented) feature to change between keyboard/mouse/joystick1/joystick2 modes. ok got it.

edit: kick 3.1 a1200 sounds are hilariously off (also using winuae) for alien breed 1992 special edition. better use 1.3 rom on a500.

There is a project WHDload making many games load easier with compatibility patches applied. So you may have a whole game collection of HDD without messing with different kickstarts and HW configs.

[goofyseeker311]

cool cool. so why is it not included in the core like its in amiga forever winuae.

[sorgelig]

Because WHDLoad is Amiga software. Repository doesn't deal with software. Only Core specific drivers/addons are included. You are free to choose which apps to use in Amiga.
