don't waste your time on other options
get it on aminet
not freeware anyways is the best
also that emulator works perfect on winuae making games works better than winuae'built in cd32 emulation

bye,Laser

Yep but you miss out on the thing that makes cd32 game versions so special...the cd music
Same thing happens with some games run with the IDEFix CD32 emulator :-(

Will this also work with the cda tracks? Most cd32 titles also exist in floppy or HD format already, but the reason i want them for my a1200 is mainly because of the cd tracks.

Post by: Speelgoedmannetje on February 02, 2006, 11:14:03 AM: IIRC there was a piece of hardware expansion with CD, wich was specifically designed so you could play CD32 games on your A1200. Not sure if it contained the Akiko chip, though.
