Simple question about CD32 games

[Matt_H]

For the most part, yes, but it depends on the specific game. I've found SCSI CD drives to work better than IDE ones. The closer your system is to a stock 3.1 machine, the better results you'll have.

There's an old tool called CDBoot that mounts the CD drive very early in the startup-sequence and allows you to "boot" from CD32 discs. CacheCDFS and AsimCDFS also have CD32 emulation environments. There are also some useful tools in the CD32 devkit on the Amiga developer's CD - the cd.device wrapper is particularly handy.

RE: SCSI vs IDE

The caveat, of course, is YMMV :-). Judging from the docs on the Dev CD, it seems like a SCSI-equipped A4000 with a CD drive was Commodore's recommended development system.

In theory, yes, the interface type shouldn't matter, but my guess is the various cd.device emulators do a better job mapping to a SCSI controller.
