Post a new comment to participate in the discussion on how this
game should be configured, or to add relevant information regarding
the use of these configurations.
Added floppy_drive_count = 2 because game looks for save disk in df1.

TODO: @FrodeSolheim WHDLoad, v1.2, 0833
disk2 from this whdload install is packed with xpk.
the slave comes with a popup that xpkmaster.library is required. i guess this one have to magically inserted to the generated hd same way as setpatch.
It is true that the ratings (1 to 5) is subjective at least. But all games should indeed run the same for everyone. This is especially true also for WHDLoad games since FS-UAE Launcher started preparing the entire hard drive from scratch (extracting SetPatch etc from WB disk).
@nexusle: could you retest the game again, if you haven't already? Also, if it does not work, can you check if you have an old save state folder for the game (and delete it if it exists) before running the game?
That's a quite specific problem then, but I see your point In the end the games will (hopefully) work everywhere with the settings found here (at least in FS-UAE )
"The ratings here are subjective" means, that only the user mad the rating will see this rating (atm). I agree with you, that the listed configs should work on every machine, but it's not garanteed. For example: "Worms" (WHDLoad) (some versions) runs fine for Frode, but not for me and other people. In result Frode used a file called "system-configuration" which made the game work for Frode. This file is now bundled. So "Worms" should work everywhere.
Basically the configs should work everywhere... that's the point of the database. Maybe I don't understand it, but basically a version that works for Frode with the settings from the database should run everywhere.
The ratings here are subjective. A config, which runs at Frode must not work at you. Other users, for which the version works can evaluate it by clicking OK, while again others they mark with BAD.
It seems, that the error occurs only on this WHDLoad variant. If one make a new install with version 3.60 of the game, than it should run (comment by JOTD if I understand right).
Can confirm the crash on A600 (and this may be a known problem: http://mantis.whdload.de/view.php?id=2065&PHPSESSID=df2d4d66335bac5c708a24c173ddcd67). But it seems to work with A1200, at least I could load the game and walk around the dungeon. Tried a couple of times (English + German) and it worked both times.

Exception "Address Error" on WHDLoad? Tried putting the memory up, but still crashes before the game starts. Tried setting to a A1200 as testing on whdload.de, the game starts, but then crashes with similar error? Help! lol
This error seems to be occurring for me.
I've tried A600 and A1200 and turned on the floppy drives =2 for the Whdload variant.
all screenshots were originallly taken by the ministry of truth
@sjuk Hi, and thanks for helping out
You added the change to the WHDLoad variant? Was that intentional? (I assume the WHDLoad entry saves to the HD?).

Mark it as BAD. I've tried it by installing the 3.60 IPF images and get the same error as you.
So should it be marked as Bad or OK? As most users will probably have the version I have as I downloaded the WHDLoad bundles.
