Title: Old RPG's on CD32
Post by: Guille64 on August 11, 2009, 01:43:54 PM

Hello, I want to play a lot of old RPG's (like Obitus, Bloodwych, Black crypt, Crystal dragon, etc etc) on my CD32 but none of the compilations have any of them, maybe because these games need mouse and/ or keyboard.
I don't know what to do, but I imagine that I have to create cd's with the individual games using whdload adding boot routines. I didn't create cd's yet; surely is complicated but I can't imagine another way to play those games. If the games will recognize the mouse and keyboard, don't know either.

Anyone did this?

Kindly regards.

Is there a compilation that includes classic old rpg's? I think that the one and only rpg in CD32 is, of course, Liberation.

Fortunately, Liberation is the best one :)

There's also Heimdall 2, Speris Legacy, and Legacy of Sorasil, off the top of my head.

You can also take a look at Whale's Voyage (http://hol.abime.net/1693). I never actually played It, but It looked promising.

Whales Voyage and Labyrinth of Time are a couple more CD32 RPGs, sort of. You're right about needing to make a boot sequence and use WHDLoad for the games, I've done this to make single-CD versions of a few games for my CD32. It's not that hard if you can work out how to use MakeCD. Try this tutorial and see how you go - http://acdldp.emuunlim.com/bootablecdr.shtml

You should maybe also visit this website, which is for homebrewed CD32 versions of Amiga games - http://www.rgcd.co.uk/cd32/

Thanks Cammy, I will try to create my own CD's. First, I think, is understand MakeCD.
