This is a step by step guide to setting up Classic Workbench and WHDLoad games on a 4gb CF Card for use on a real Amiga. These are the basic steps to get you up and running, should be easy to follow for a novice user.
There are more advanced settings and file systems that can be used however I wanted to keep the guide as simple as possible for Amiga users returning to the scene.
I hope this helps :)

Hi Fitzsteve - first of all, I'd like to thank you for this great video about the basic steps for installing WB3.1. I had difficulties to use my brand new Sandisk Ultra 8 GB cards on my ACA500+ as always dropped a write error - but thankfully, I was able to continue the process. It's a great tutorial.

Fantastic. Worked first time for me. I used an 8gb card and made a dh2, dh3, dh4 and called them games1 games2 games3 and spread the games pack across the 2gb partitions. 9 directories for each drive. Awesome tutorial. Thank you.

Hi! Thanks for the kind comment :) I was lucky not to have any issues with either my ACA1220 or ACA1232 however it can be a bit of a lottery, good news is Amigakit can do the timing fixes if you need them. Also my A1200's have had the Caps replaced and I'm using an ATX PSU converted for the Amiga, this really helps too for a stable system.

This is what I love about the Amiga systems, they were future proof. I have an Atari 1040STf with a built in Hard Disk that I can not do anything like this to because Atari opted to use SCSI like Apple did...and it's not cheap to do anything like this with SCSI.

Excellent tutorial, made installation pretty straightforward, thank you! Now all I have to do is find out why the A1200 refuses to boot with all 8mb of fast RAM enabled but is perfectly happy when configured for 4mb..........these things do come along to try us :-)

@fitzsteve 9 жыл бұрын

Tim Marshall Glad the tut was useful :) Do you have anything plugged into the PCMCIA slot? If so you need to remove it to use all 8mb, or if you have an Amitek Hawk Ram board this is a known issue, for some reason Classic Workbench does not seem to work with this board in the 8mb configuration. I was never able to work out why.

@tim7099 9 жыл бұрын

fitzsteve Hi Steve, I still have the 3.0 ROM so PCMCIA slot works fine with a normal HD (IBM 855mb) WB3.1 and 8mb but, refuses to boot with CWB and 8mb (load gets far enough for the anti click to kick in then stops). I presume that it's a Hawk, it looks like the ones shown on various posts, although one piece of software reported it as an Apollo.....Badge engineering? The 8 meg configuration wasn't trouble free even with the 2.5" drive. Each time a game was loaded in WHD I got a yellow recoverable alert, (press left mouse button to continue) but the game loaded normally after that. I guess that I will just have to put up with 4mb. I seem to recall having a problem with an accelerator board (030/25) putting the PCMCIA slot out of use back in the day and had to fiddle around with a long IDE cable to get my PCMCIA HD working. Some things don't change :-) Anyway, thanks for this and your other interesting videos!

Fundamentally nothing has changed this will still work on your Amiga, although there have been new versions of Workbench since which require updated Roms but it still works in very much the same way.

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

Yes indeed, it is the same for all types of drives however bare in mind you need to patch the scsi.device for drives over 4gb (see Classic Workbench tutorials on the CWB website) and you also need to install a fie system like SFS or PFS3, I'm hoping to a guide on that soon!

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

Classic Workbench already includes the Compact Flash Device and Fat95 driver, you only need to type in CLI 'Mount CF0:' or move the file CF0 from Storage/DosDrivers to Devs/DosDrivers. Maybe you chose an install without the theme? You can add a wallpaper/backdrop by right clicking on the Workbench Bar & choose Scalos>Pattern :)

Great guide. One thing I noticed is that when I partitioned my 4Gb card the Amiga initially didn't see the two big partitions to be able to format them (I think they ended up around 1640Mb each), but when running ClassicWB DirOpus was able to see and format them no problem Now to copy all those WHDLoad games over. One question for those who know these CF card set ups well, once you have done one, can you do a 100% duplicate on to another card without going through all the set up stuff on a real Amiga? Basically cloning the card.

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

It can be quite complicated to get WinUAE to recognise the CF Card and allow you to partition it under emulation as Windows & WinUAE protect you from overwriting system (OS) drives. It's much easier to put an RDB in the CF card first and then WinUAE will let you do what you like with it! Classic Workbench needs to be activated first before you can use it, all the files are inside the HDF. It is possible to copy the contents of the HDF straight to your CF card and then activate with real Disks.

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

Hi John K, Indeed you can setup an 8gb CF with 5 partitions but you must use another file system such as SFS or PFS3. I have used 8gb Kingston CF's, they worked fine but were not compatible with OS3.9 BB2's SCSI Update so I had to add the 'Skipromupdates "scsi.device' command, if you are using WB3.1 this isn't an issue :)

@fitzsteve 10 жыл бұрын

Hi Guys, thanks for the comments. I've been considering a guide for 8gb guides but it seems there are a lot of variables depending on file system used as some brands seem to be incompatible with certain file systems and require further patching, it can get a bit complex and I'm not sure I can cover all eventualities, a guide could end up causing further frustration. I think it's better to read the documentation for SFS and PFS3 for anyone who would like to experiment with larger CF's/HDD's.

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

Hi! You need to have minimum 37.300 Rom (you can see in the Kickstart Screen the version you have) you also need at least a trapdoor 1mb upgrade to run WHDLoad and some Fast Ram (PCMCIA SRAM) 2 or 4mb is recommended. Kipper2k at EAB & Amibay sells 4mb Fast Ram that clips over the CPU, well worth a look at too! The version of Classic Workbench for the A600 with 2.0 Roms is called GAAE :)

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

Hi, You can use either Full or Lite as long as you have 3.1Rom (or use the ACA Maprom to load 3.1Rom) Full uses Scalos and Lite does not, depends if you want Scalos, it will be a little bit slower an use more Ram but you get IGame + screenshots pack :)

@fitzsteve 11 жыл бұрын

Hi! Max transfer probably isn't an issue with UAE's scsi.device, the scsi.device on the Amiga isn't compatible with modern ATA specs so that's why we have to limit the size of the data chunks, you wont notice any problems until you try to load a large file, they you will have corruptions. If you setup the CF correctly in WinUAE there is no reason you will have issues on the Amiga :)

@Mr.plv767 11 жыл бұрын

True, for a system where it is written once and read lots of times, then go CF, but if you have the hardware in your system to do it, then have the CF card in the system for games, and a physical HDD for productivity. Easy for like an A4000, maybe not for an A1200 :).

Hi Steve. I have a weird issue about whdload games. Some games (shadow of the beast 3 for instance) freezes in real A1200 when i press the "F" buttons (F1, F2 for changing items). But in WinUAE, the same setup works fine with no freezes. I use A1200 Escom edition with blizzard 1230. As I understand it is either a matter of amiga hardware or it has to do with some codelines in whdload. I read somewhere about NOCACHE and NOMMU code lines that are put in the icon of the game. Do you have any idea about that? Thank you

I agree if you're doing work that intensively writes to the CF card you're better off with a real mechanical HD as CF cards have limited writes. I'm not so sure you're better off with an old 6gb HDD though, I've had a few and they all died quickly. I tend to use CF's in my wedge Amiga's due to their low power consumption and low heat, I don't aggressively use these systems. I stick with real HDD's in my big box Amiga's, I bought a job lot of new old stock 20gb Seagate IDE HDD's a while back :)

I don't have anything connected to the expansion ports, since when I plug my 8mb ram in the HDD won't show up. I have Kickstart 3.0 could this be what causes the problem? I've tried it with WB 3.0 and 3.1 but the other partitions (except DH0) wont show up. Also my A1200 wont read all disks only some like the Workbench disks (I use a floppy drive emulator). If anyone knows whats going on with my A1200 please tell me.

Hi you don't need to change it for OS3.1.4 (if you have the Rom) however some hardware may still be effected

Steve, great Tutorial thanks. Been following it it through having used an Amiga for the first time in 15 years. My install differs a little from yoours. I'm using a standard A1200 so I picked ClassicWB Lite but that was my only difference. However - my Directory Opus won't extract files. A double click brings up a grey screen with the archive list. Seems to be LHA running. Any ideas? Second - I have a WHDLoad key of my own I used when I was just emulating (I built an arcade cab a year back) the key works fine on that but it's not working at all on this. Still get the unregistered message. Again, any ideas? Best

Paul McNally Hi Paul, you should select the archive in Dopus (left window) and select path (in right window) then click the 'arc extract' button to unpack, does that help? All the best and thanks for your comment.

is 16 gb aux card enough for games, will this tutorial for on A500+ machine aswell?

@fitzsteve 10 жыл бұрын

Hi! Yeah 16gb is massive for an Amiga, the whole WHDLoad Games pack is about 5.5gb, take out the AGA/CD32 Games that you wont use on your ECS Amiga and it's nearer 4.5gb. Add CD games, Demos, other stuff and you will still struggle to even fill 10gb :) I have 2x 8gb CF on my A1200 and have about 4gb free and I have a massive collection of MOD Music on there too as well as MacOS (ShaeShifter and big HDF's)

thanks for this, where can I get that complete WHDload games pack from ? Cannot find a complete games pack option on the website mentioned.

WHDload is now free, no registration required.

Hi I'm not sure these days, I got all mine back about 5 years and made a few updates via various sources over the years (none for 2+ years) sorry.

Can I install a Flashcard with Kickstart 3.0 ?

@fitzsteve 10 жыл бұрын

Yes you can :) (However you can only use up to WB3.1, for OS3.9 you need 3.1Roms)

Steve, I just have one question. Can you elaborate on copying kickstarts.lha , which contains things like kick33180.a500 and kick33180.a500.rtb ? I own Amiga Forever, so can I just copy various .rom files from \Amiga Files\Shared om to devs\kickstarts folder ? What do I rename ? I don't see any .rtb files Thanks, PEter

Hi! Yes AmigaForever Roms should be fine, see here for details on RTB files: www.whdload.de/docs/en/need.html

Ah right, will this process work with an A600 as long as you use the appropriate workbench version?

@fitzsteve 8 жыл бұрын

+nufcdazzla Yes it is exactly the same principle but the HDToolbox of 2.x is laid out differently so the steps will differ a bit. You can however get 3.1 Rom for your A600 and use Workbench 3.1 version (Classic Workbench 68k) Good luck. Just a side note, the A600's 1mb doesn't go very far!
