Many thanks for your hard work, dude.
I cant run hdf and whdload files. always get a dark grey screen. adf files are working.
My favourit game is Dune II. There are 6 adf files. How can i play it?
For hdf files use A1200 config preset.
I have the same problem with HDF, adf files run
I have the same problem with HDF, adf files run fine.
I am not sure, but maybe you are inserting .hdf into floppy slots? .hdf have to inserted into the hdf slots in the hard disc sub-menu.
For hdf files to work, first of all use the A1200 preset configuration (not A500). Then use the "Memory and Harddisc submenu" to insert your .hdf file into hdf slot 1 (not hd dir, and not floppy slot 1 in main menu). Then also set "Boot HD" to "File1" (not "Off" or "Dir"). This selects the first hdf slot to boot from.
If it still doesn't boot, you should get at least a purple OS 3.1 screen with an animated disk, and not the white screen with the blue 1.3 disk. If you get the white screen with blue 1.3 disk, you are still booting a A500, not A1200 config.
If you get the purple OS3.1 screen, and your .hdf file does not boot, you file might not be bootable. Not all .hdf files are bootable. Sometimes, they are designed to be used in pairs, with a bootable .hdf file in slot 1, and a second, non-bootable hdf file in slot 2.
In that case, just look again and try to find a pre-made collection of bootable .hdf files, one per game. Those collections are by far the easiest-to-use.
I will try to post pictures of my own config with working .hdf files later today.
There's also a size restriction: .hdf files have to be smaller than 2 gb.

Hi was wondering if anyone could help I have this set up and looking forward to some old style games, everything looks OK kickstarter Ron's are in the correct place and named correctly however when I try to run any game I just get prompted to enter the 1.3 kickstarter disk in the drive, I have tried different versions of the rom incase it is currupt but same issue, any help would be apreciated
Which game are you trying to run, and is it an .adf file for sure? .zip, .adz, of .ipf files are NOT supported. Are you inserting the .adf into the first floppy slot in the main menu?
It helps to know which game, because some games require an Amiga 1200 to boot correctly (you can switch between A500 and A1200 in the main menu).
Make sure your files are not corrupt. exFAT SDCard maybe? If yes, try to copy over fresh .adf files into your roms folder, and make sure the archive flag is not set on the roms folder or your files on the sdCard. It shouldn't show the "a" attribute in Windows. Switch cannot read folders with the "a" attribute.
