Amiga: issues with IPF files

I remember years ago to have used an Amiga emulator with no big problems, since I found among my stuff a disk with tons of Amiga IPF game files I wanted to do it again.
I followed a few WinUAE guides such as this one and this one and proceeded to go over to the SPS site to download the IPF support library. However they don't seem to work (I only see a black screen), I tried almost all the Windows libraries but nothing seems to work so far. The first guide suggests that when the DLL file is placed in the directory of WinUAE the program should ask "Detect 16-bit Pixel format" but nothing appeared.
I tried to run some ADF files to see if I had made something wrong in the installation but a couple of them seemed to work. The problem is, most of the ADF files you can find around are shitty cracked/bootlegged copies that almost always manage to crash so that I can't play them. This shouldn't be a problem with the IPF files, but then again I can't get them to work.
Any ideas?
