WHDload Files

[Washac]

All my WHDload games are archived with LHA, before I put them onto an HDF
do I need to unarch them or will they work either way ?

[KnC]

They need to be unarchived on the hdf to work with WHDLoad

You can unpack them using 'lha' on the Amiga.

7Zip can unpack them under Windows or Linux too.

Thanks, I will just unarch them on my Mac then move them to the HDF via FSUAE

Some games may use special characters that are not recognised in mac it is better to use a shared folder in winuae not sure if you can in fsuae have never used it to extract the files within the emulator or make a second hdf you can copy all the lha's to and then load both hdf in fsuae and extract them within the emulator

Never had problems before with unarching on my Mac, thanks for the pointer though.

Yeah i can not remember all the games that had problems on windows
Rage V1 V2 was a problem not sure how mac will handle the files i guess if it handles them ok the rest should be ok on mac

MacOS actually supports all characters in file names except “:”, which is a superset of the allowed characters in AmigaDOS.
