Hello, there.
I just installed (unpacked) the above mentioned gamebase this morning.
Everything runs fine as expected, but when it comes to "whdload", it is always giving me this:
whdrun could not determine the whdload slave name from the specified user startup file
Disk-games ? No problem, but this here...
Checked all possible .inis, seemed to be correct.
Now, what can i do to fix this ?!?!

Re: Repacked Gamebase Amiga 2.3 could not determine slave name !
No idea, anyone ?
I deleted gamebase and re-"installed" it on a another HDD, but the problem persists.
Strange.
My disk-structure:
"K:\EMULATION+GAMES - Teil 2\Portable GameBase Amiga v.2.3 - RePacked, Fixed & Enhanced by cnterr\GameBase", containing "Amiga 2.3" as 1 directory "ahead".
When i open up registed run gamebase und choose the "extra"-button pressing "WHDload",
the error-message appears. In this above mentioned error there is "2/portable" written. Does this mean i must have a 2/portable named folder ?! Dunno, do not have it...

for WHDRUN to work without any problems on K:.
set the rezip path in GAMEBASE.INI
GBGame=K:\gbgame
*NOT the default K:\gbgame\0\
[Startup]
VersionCheck=0
SendUsageStats=0
[Paths]
GBGame=K:\GBGame
And install Gamebase to the root of your drive
K:\gamebase\
Installing to long folder names with spaces will break it.
It's just how WHDRUN.EXE and GEMUS.DLL are coded to unzip the files.

Hi, .mad !!
I apologize for my delayed reply, but as a pensioner i do not have time !!
Now i got that machine up and running after editing the .ini and copying it into root !!!!
Thx alot !!
But my "Gamebase.ini" had already your suggested setting, namely "K:gamebase/...
Anyways: Glad it works now.
Thanks again,
Daniel
