WHDLoad for the ST?

[gdanko]

Is there a WHDload equivalent for the ST? For those who don't know, WHDload on Amiga allows you to play all of your floppy-based games off the hard disk. Or do you even need to do this on Atari? Can you copy the files to the hard disk to play them?

Hi there,

 

Have a look here http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...c=94661&hl= for some answers

 

But there's only 2 of us working on this project, so it will take some time as you imagine

Hi, AFAIK, there is no WHDLoad equal for the ST. There should be one,

I am almost positive that ST (esp. early games) did not support Hard drives

in any way. It was quite rare even for the Amiga, early on....

 

Hopefully, some super ST programmer out there will write some 'WHDLoad-like' program

for the ST.... I am an Amiga fan myself, But I remember GoldRunner, and Starglider

on the ST,....

 

P.S. WHDLoad does not enable ALL floppy-based games to run...There are different

versions/distributions of certain games that would not work....e.g. Turrican.

 

Some originals I own STILL can't be installed with WHDLoad....(The Plague)
