Question: When running Amiga emulator HstWB Installer image doesn't detect any Amiga OS iso or adf files?

Answer:

Amiga OS iso and adf files are installed from attached FAT32 formatted USB stick with HstWB self install files and HstWB self install mountpoint needs to be updated prior to manually starting HstWB Installer image in Amiga emulator.

Verify USB stick is properly FAT32 formatted and HstWB self install files are installed including Amiga OS and Kickstarts files as a minimum. Then retry starting HstWB Installer image.

Answer:

If multiple Kickstart 3.2, 3.1.4 or 3.1 A1200 files are present in HstWB self install USB stick 'Kickstart' directory, then HstWB Installer will install latest Kickstart A1200 available. To install only Kickstart 3.1 A1200, delete Kickstart 3.2, 3.1.4 A1200 rom file from HstWB self install USB stick 'Kickstart' directory.
