I did get that exact same Gotek kit off ebay and it works like a charm, but really want a Pistorm, and come to think of it i have a spare pi zero for rgb2hdmi....

Sounds fun :)

OK, so I now have WHDLoad installed on both the A500 and A1200, next I need to try some installs and see if I did it right :)

Some people have a cool WHDLoad launcher app which also has game artwork etc. I could never get it to work though, it needed some special system app installed, which I did, but then it still failed to work.

So I just launch my games from folders on my hard disk...

Unfortunately no time to do it right now, work is super busy and I have a lot of stuff going on in the evenings too. May just try one see how it goes :)

Nearly forgot to post this:


It's the switch that allows me to enable/disable HDD booting from the IDE adapter. I'll put a spot of hot glue on there to keep things together before I button it up.

However over lunch time when I was looking at this, I kept getting the flashing green screen that says it can't find at least 256KB of RAM, and it seems to be the keyboard that is the problem...

Much more success when it's unplugged, weird.

Back to work now though...

Thanks @alexh

Maybe resolder the on-board ram chips/data path, and reseat the Agnus..
