Do you have option MMU set?
Please run tool http://whdload.de/whdload/Tools/FcCheck and post the output.
Warning it may also crash the machine.

Do you have the MMU option enabled in the global configuration file or the icon?

There is no MMU option set in icon. The MMU item is listed in WHDLoad.prefs, but is commented out with ; before. WHDLoad.prefs file is attached.

I have no other reports similar yet.
I assume the issue may be connected to your uncommon hw with 68ec030+fpu.
Can you please run the attached whdl_detect.
Does it crash like WHDLoad? If not please tell me the return code (echo $RC).
Please try also if the latest WHDLoad beta http://whdload.de/whdload/whd184.lha changes anything.

I ran the whdl_detect program and it ran and showed nothing on screen. I installed and ran WHDLoad beta whd184.lha and it crashes when running any game, same as before.

I have said in last note, program ran from CLI and displayed nothing on screen (no return code or any other text). If I need to run it with additional parameters please provide full command line text.

I know that it doesn't display anything. But it sets the return code depending on the present hardware. You can display the return code with
  echo $RC
Please tell me with which return code it ends.

return code is 55

Thanks. So the cpu detection works as expected.
To get an idea where it fails please do the following.
Get latest beta from http://whdload.de/whdload/whd186.lha and copy the WHDLoad from it to your prefered location (e.g. C:).
Run a game from the CLI/Shell with the option TRACECON.
E.g.:
cd <where games is installed and *.slave resides>
whdload <name of the slave file> tracecon
This will display trace messages of whdload.
After each line whdload will wait one second.
Please tell me the last line it prints (if possible the last few lines) before it crashes.
