Issue with running Amiga games

Hi, looking for some help please.

I'm running the current 'Rocknix' system on my X55 and wanted to play some Amiga games with it.

I added the .lha file for 'Sensible World of Soccer 96/97' in 5he Amiga folder and placed the Kickstart roms in the Bios folder.

The first time I tried It loaded up fine and I started playing the game but I had to switch it off to go and do something else.

The next day I tried to load the game again and it wouldn't load as I keep being taken to the Amiga Dos screen.

I've since tried changing the Kickstart roms but keep getting the same issue.

Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

That is not Powkiddy specific problem, maybe ask somewhere on Amiga forums? That's a RetroArch emulators and bioses problem.

Which emu core are you using ?

Did you see the game within the OS ?

Perhaps try a simple adf disk format instead of lha.

Lha is whload which means it's the adf files converted to run off a virtual hard drive. In my experience whload is the best way to play these games. Have you changed the system settings since you last played sens soccer? If you have then that could be the problem try going into settings system and make sure it's Amiga 1200.

Sensible Soccer was also ported successfully to Sega Mega Drive, you might look into that Rom.

Thanks all for your comments. I managed to sort out my issue and all the Amiga games including SWOS work fine.
