I'm Hvaing trouble here too.
I think I'm exacty where you are at now. I have the amiga main menu theme set up and working, I can go into the amiga and have it's system theme set up also, ihave donwloaded the wheel images from the ftp. and all the box art. I made a xml file from the wheel images for the commodore amiga database.
I have downloaded the winuaeloader and the complete kgwhdload set and am using winuae 1.6.0 beta 8.
My commodore amiga ini looks like this;

[exe info]
path = C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Amiga\WinUAELoader\
rompath = C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Amiga\WHDLoad
userompath = true
exe = winuaeloader.exe -mode whdload -game
romextension = zip
parameters =
searchsubfolders = false
pcgame = false
winstate = NORMAL
hyperlaunch=false

Nothings happens when i try to play a game. Pressing enter does nothing at all, when i tred to see if it would work with hyperlaunch on i got to a blank black screen, an error message and then kicked back into hyperspin so i've turned hperlaunch off again.

I've been following other threads on this and i believe i have been following everything by the letter, i don't know what to try next.
I changed my exe = to;
exe = WinUAELoader.exe -mode whdload -game
just incase the ini was case sensitive and that is how the exe is named on my system but no change here either?

Help would be appriciated greatly

Have you run the games successfully with winuaeloader on its own?

Yeah, they work fine straight from winuaeloader.
A10 tankkiller starts to load winuae but returns some error in amiga dos about devs\kickstart roms not being present but they ARE!, thats another issue...#
simple answer is Yes

I used XML Sydaroa.exe as the dir2xml for generating my games list, could this be the issue, here is a sample from the xml;

<menu>
<game name="A10TankKiller_v2.0_3Disk" >
<description>A10TankKiller_v2.0_3Disk</description>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game>
<game name="Aaargh_v1.0a_0511" >
<description>Aaargh_v1.0a_0511</description>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>

etc, etc.

Hmmm,

Everything looks fine....

I'd suggest trying a non beta or examining your whdload.uae config; but if they work with winuaeloader then I don't know....

You are sure you have the right kickstart roms in winuaeloader\WHD\Devs\Kickstarts ?

Well i am going to double check the kickstarts, but a10 is the only game i've com across that doesn't work so far. (Just been playing a bit of Flashback).

Thing is pressing enter in hyperspin does absolutly nothing, doesn't seem to want to try and load WinUAELoader???? I've checked and rechecked the paths over and over.
I think the problem is in hyperspin somewhere, something simple i could be overlooking.

I was using The Beta 8 of WinUAE as you had said in a earlier post on another thread that we have to use that one becuase of auto adjusting screen sizes or something?
Well I'll try the 1.6.0 version after sorting the kickstarts. Cant see anyof this doing anything to be fair.
Guess I'm just going to have to keep fiddling, trail and error unless anyone else has some ideas?

Nice one on uploading the vids over at emumovies btw. just set up a couple of them now.
Cheers for your responses anyway bud.

hehe,

It always something dead simple isn't it?

there is no "\" at the end of your rom path.....

That'll be it.

Yeah that was it :stupid:

Thank you espontaneo, just saved me from chasing my tail around all even there.

AND, I'd forgotton to copy over the kickstarts from my winuae folder to the winuaeloader\whd\devs\kickstart. Done it now
Got A10 working now, so, i think, everything will be done. Finally!
Man that was a bitch to set up.

hehe. No pain, no gain.

PM me your email and I'll send you an updated winualoader config database (games run faster and load instantly), plus it adds another game :)
