WHDLOAD on CD32?

[pan1k]

I was wondering how hard it would be to make a CDROM of my favourite Amiga games, get WHDLOAD  and burn a CDROM so that it will work on my CD32?

There's a special WHDLoad version designed for cd32 that works with just 2MB of ram and you could use ArcadeGameSelector to choose the games. I think you'll also need MakeCD and some developer files to make it autobootable.

Here is a guide to help you make your own CD32 CDs. It's easy once you know what you're doing, I've burned heaps of CD32 CDs with games and animations, CDXL videos, WHDLoad menus the whole lot.

Hey Cammy, thanks for this link, a great resource now that I've got one of those NOS cd32 from China today

Nice guide. I'll just add to this section, though:

click on TM File, and choose either cdtv.tm or cd32.tm, click OK (there are some games only working with cd32.tm and not with cdtv.tm and vice-versa! But cdtv.tm seems to be more compatible and doesn't show this ugly cd32-animation everytime you start, so I'd recommend the cdtv.tm)

Ordinarily, you need CD32.TM to activate the 256-color AGA modes. CDTV.TM limits you to ECS colors. I don't know if the Kickemu feature of WHDLoad renders this irrelevant in the creation of its sandbox environment.

SetPatch obviously enables AGA
