GUI WHDLoad
The WHDLoad panel provides automatic configuration for WHDLoad game archives. Select an LHA file and Amiberry reads the slave metadata to configure the emulated Amiga automatically for that game.
- Opens a file browser to choose a WHDLoad LHA archive (
.lhaor.lzh) - After selection, Amiberry reads the archive's slave file and populates the fields below automatically
- Clears the currently loaded WHDLoad archive and resets all auto-configured fields
- Shows a list of recently loaded WHDLoad archives for quick re-selection
These fields are read-only and populated automatically when an archive is loaded.
- The name of the game as read from the WHDLoad slave
- The unique identifier for the selected game variant
- The default slave filename specified in the archive
- When checked, uses slave-specific library files from the archive instead of the global WHDLoad libraries
- Dropdown listing all available slave files found in the archive
- Select a different slave to switch between game variants or versions
- The data path used by the selected slave, read from the slave file
- A free-text field for passing additional WHDLoad tooltype arguments to the startup sequence
- Opens a dialog showing game-specific custom options defined by the slave (checkboxes, toggles, or dropdown lists)
- Only enabled when an archive is loaded
Settings that apply to all WHDLoad games.
- Waits for a button press before starting the game, giving time to read any splash screen or instructions
- Shows the WHDLoad splash screen during startup
- Number of seconds to wait before starting the game after the splash screen; use the
+and-buttons to adjust
- Caches disk writes for better performance; less safe than writing immediately
- Returns to the emulator GUI when the game exits via WHDLoad's quit mechanism
