Hi,

How can I set the EXPCHIP flag? Unfortunately I am a total FS-UAE/WHD-load noob, but I'd love to play Neuromancer on the AMIGA (DOS-Version sucks and the C64 Version just takes too long).

hi
click only one time (not double ckick) on the icon of the game
select the menu icons and sub menu information with the mouse (press right key on the mouse)
click "New"
in the box type ExpChip and enter
click "save"

now in the information of the icon you should have:
SLAVE=xxxxxxxx (the name of the file slave)
PRELOAD
PreloadSize=xxxxx
ExpChip

wrong patch code leads to crash on some mem configs, besides, behaviour could be incorrect. Now fixed in 3.2

have you tried 3.3 ? 3.2 was not good.

how can I use the 3.3 version? The one that can be dl'd from WHD Load is only 60K in comparision with ~700K 3.1 version. Do I have to merge the files from 3.3 into 3.1?

When I use the WHDLoadTool it finds 3.3 (700K) but when I have FS-UAE Launcher update the game files, this is not found...

Please help. Many, many, many thanks!

most of the time you update the .slave file to upgrade, unless otherwise specified in the readme.

fixed in 3.4, testing has been sloppy, sorry, 3.3 is useless on 68000.
