RetroArch WHDload won't start game, only kickstart rom

Created by: GordonWesside

So guys, i'm new here with a frustrating issue. In RetroArch on Nvidia Shield Pro i can get single disk/adf files to run without issue but when it comes to whdload i can't get any game to run wether it be an .lha/.hdf or zipped .hdf file.

Running latest versions of Retroarch and PUAE. Kickstart is set to: A1200 2mb/8mb for WHDload as suggested everywhere Files are placed in: \SHIELD\internal\RetroArch\Amiga\Games\WHDload
Kickstart roms work (as .adf files work fine) i have placed these kickstart files in above mentioned directory as well as the: \RetroArch\system\ directory (to be sure.. old situation i believe that was needed).

I have attached the logfile where i tried to load 'Elfmania' which at the very end states: FS: BootHD (flags=00000002,E=0,ED=1,EF=0,native='/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/saves/BootHD') starting.. FS: WHDLoad (flags=00000002,E=0,ED=1,EF=0,native='/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/saves/WHDLoad') starting.. FS: WHDSaves (flags=00000002,E=0,ED=1,EF=0,native='/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/saves/WHDSaves') starting.. FS: Elfmania (flags=00000002,E=0,ED=1,EF=0,native='/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/saves/TEMP/Elfmania') starting.. But all it ends up with is booting the kickstart and that's it?

Elfmania zipfile contents: -Elfmania (folder) -Elfmania.info

Elfmania folder contents: -Disk.1 -Disk.2 -Elfmania.info -Elfmania.slave -Manual -Manual.info -ReadMe -Readme.info
