Hey everybody... Just wondering if there was a way to burn .ADF files to play in a CD32?.... meaning a bootable menu type of prog. There must be a way! I can only imagine how fun it would be to burn a million classics on 1 disc!

You can't really do it with ADFs, but you can definitely create a bootable CD with a menu to select hundreds of WHDLoad-installed games from. There are a few different menu systems around to choose from like Arcade Game Selector and Advanced Menu System, as well as a few more being worked on such as X-Bench and KGLoad. Franko also made a really cool games selection menu system but I haven't been able to set it up and try it on a CD32 yet.
If you do a search for CD32-100, CD32-200, -350, -444, -888 you'll find some excellent compilations that have already been put together over the years, hopefully containing all the games you want to play. The chances are that if the game you want isn't on one of these CDs, it most likely requires more than the standard 2MB RAM a CD32 has, or might require a keyboard to run.

You can't do it Scott, just go for the existent compilations for CD32, as Cammy just said. Good luck private. ^^

There are some packages which use WHDLoad'ed games and a menu. Though it is not fast.
Better get an A1200 with cf->IDE adapter, a cf card (4gb, 2x2gb partitions), put the cf card in a card reader in your pc, mount it in UAE and install workbench + WHDLoad + your WHDLoad'ed games, and then put it in your a1200.

The cd compilations although cool suffer from the fact that it all comes off the cd. There is also a lot going on gaphically with the menu system that tends to slow down the screen, the CD also slows things down.
Also you need a pal tv to do all this effectivley since the games run bst on a pal system.
A moderately tricked out Amiga 1200 system is your best bet as others have mentioned.
These days a PC conncted to a 42" plasma running UAE is my system. NO hassles, no Tubro cards, indivisions, and I do it with a wireless keyboard.
