Query: wiki/WHDLoad-Auto-booting [discrepancy]
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Not sure if this is a bug, or documentation errata. On the cited wiki page, it states;
Emulator Requirements
The following archive should exist adjacent to the Amiberry binary file: (These folders/files are provided with Amiberry)
whdboot/boot-data.zip must contain the [Amiga WHDLoad Booter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHDLoad) program.
However, an unpacked whdboot/boot-data folder may also be used.
The query here is wrt the last line above.
Test case:
Extract the boot-data.zip archive into cwd/whdboot/
Move the boot-data.zip archive outside of the amiberry tree //move it to ~/ or where-ever
Using cmdline or GUI, autoload a known good working whdload.lha file // ie; ./amiberry CannonFodder_v1.2_CD32.lha
Observed result....
Quit amiberry.
Move the boot-data.zip archive back into the cwd/whdboot/ path //leave the extracted directories/files therein
Now using cmdline or GUI, autoload the same whdload.lha file -->> result should be 'works as expected'
I can only presume that the cwd/whdboot directory, is not being virtually mounted as DH3: in the queried situation ?
TIA
Invalid -- misread, desired path is cwd/whdboot/boot-data/
My bad, closing....maybe I need new glasses ;^/
...found the cerebral short-circuit....
"However, an unpacked whdboot/boot-data folder may also be used."
....for clarity, that should read....
