Please note that it is usually not required that you ship your disks or cd's, because nearly all can be done via email. Check here for more infos concerning creating and sending images to install authors (thanks to Codetapper for writing this text).

If the install does not work?

In fact all installs are written to work with an ORIGINAL, that means that the install will usually not work with versions which has been altered in any way.

Before sending a bug report, try yourself to solve the problem. There are various things you can do:

check the version of the install and WHDLoad, make sure that you are using the latest versions of both, many installs require the latest WHDLoad version, also installs will be updated from time to time - so check if there is an new one available

check the Tooltypes (or the options if started from the CLI/Shell), many things can be adjusted setting Tooltypes, there is hardware which requires that you set the correct Tooltypes, maybe your system is to fast - so set NoCache , some games are working only under PAL or NTSC - so try the Tooltypes PAL and NTSC , some extra hardware creates at random interrupts which confuses the installed games/demo - so try Tooltype NoAutoVec , sometimes also the Tooltypes NoResInt and NoMMU may help

, some games are working only under PAL or NTSC - so try the Tooltypes and , some extra hardware creates at random interrupts which confuses the installed games/demo - so try Tooltype , sometimes also the Tooltypes and may help read the readme or other documentation supplied with the install, it often contains important information concerning the install, its using and its limitations

Please note: if the authors aren't informed about bugs they can't correct them.

Note also, that the reasons for problems are often an different version of the game/demo. Many commercial games have been sold in more than one version (full-price-release, budget-re-release, coverdisk-release, PAL/NTSC version, ...). Of course a install can only work if it has been written for the version you have. If you have a different version of the same game, it won't work. In that case, you have to contact the author of the install and ask him to support your version.

If you have a general problem with WHDLoad or in the case that a lot of installs are not working correctly, please submit a report for WHDLoad in the Mantis Bugtracker. Choose WHDLoad as the project and include you system environment specification as best as possible.
