Hello to everyone
Thanks for all the work for this emulator, for the savestate I would like have The Plague game if possible

And by the way On my PSP the savestate of pinball dreams doesn't work and ADF is OK

BYe

And by the way On my PSP the savestate of pinball dreams doesn't work and ADF is OK

hmm.. more details on pinball dreams?

works fine on mine... although

a) you might have to load the savestate twice
b) you need kickstart 3.0
c) one of the tables is disabled if you are without a whdload keyfile.

[Vince]

For Pinball Dreams it's OK now maybe I tried with kickstart 3.1 and the second table doesn't work

Thanks for quick reply

as i said, it requires a whdload keyfile (you could put one on an ADF labelled "s:" and in sert that, and it should work i think


glad to help

as i said, it requires a whdload keyfile (you could put one on an ADF labelled "s:" and in sert that, and it should work i think

Now I've tried putting the WHDload.key on ADF's with the names "DEVS", "S", and "1", but I cannot get the second Pinball Dreams board (Steel Wheels) to work.  When I try loading the board, I see the CLI, and I am asked for the missing device with name "1".

Procedure to reproduce:
- Download Pinball Dreams savestate from pspuae.com
- Copy the savestate to the PSP, and load/start it inside pspuae
- Go to config, insert the whdload.adf into DF0
- Go back to the game, load the second board
- "Please insert missing device with name 1"

s'cool monti, i think i know exactly what your problem is... it just means i may need to re-produce the savestate, with registered whdload users in mind, as i dont think it is checking for the keyfile correctly (it may assume you are unregistered in the pre-load process) ...  i know i allowed for this with the savestates for the xmas pack, but in hindsight, perhaps i was somewhat lax regarding the on-site states and this issue.. as tbh, i never expected anyone to bother registering!

thanks for bringing it to my attention, i'll try and get a replacement state up that alllows for this (or if you pop into chat when i'm in, i can send you the files to build your own registered savestate)

sorry for the inconvinience!


edit:

after it fails...  you could perhaps try typing into the CLI the following....
(with the S: lablled whdload.adf inserted into DF0:)

whdload slave=pinballdreams.slave preload nowritecache 


and hit enter... it should load the game again from ram: having already saved the data there in my loading process.

I tried this (quite cumbersome to write all this with the onscreen keyboard, though), but it still requests the device named "1".

No idea how to fix this?

[Hungry Horace]

sorry monti, i have been very busy of late, i have my brother's wedding coming up this weekend, much music stuff i've had to sort out for people, and various other bits & bobs that have lowered very much the priority of savestates for me.

ive uploaded for you the 2 pinball dreams savestate boot disks

http://www.djcresswell.com/PDbooter.zip

use as follows:

1) Load the Pinball dreams config file from before.
2) reset amiga on pspuae, and wait for kick 3.0 bootscreen
3) in menu, insert in DF0:  PD1.adf and in DF1:  you keyfile on disk. (make sure the amiga lable for the disk is S: or DEVS: )
4) wait for the first few files to be unpacked/installed.
5) DOS will ask for "2:" to be inserted. Put PD2.adf in DF0:
6) wait for more unpacking, and DOS will ask for "1:" to be inserted.
7) put PD1.adf into DF0: the registered-whdload splash should appear.
8 ) wait for the screen to go black, wait a further 1-2 seconds and re-save the savestate, either in the  1-5 slots, or as "PD1.state"
9) if you like, rename the savestate from windows later on , to PinballDreamsRegistered.state or something, and rename Pinballdreams.config to the same naming standard.
10) enjoy playing Pinball Dreams on pspuae.


hope that helps.

[monti]

hope that helps.

Thanks, it worked great!

By the way, how large a donation would you need to make WHDLoad open source?  It seems like the UAE scene would benefit a lot from such a move.

hmmmmm, WHDLoad is nothing to do with us. We are not associated with it in anyway, we just use it like everyone else, and would urge all people that do you use it, register it, as its an awesome piece of software.

For more info on it, head over to their homepage, http://www.whdload.de
