I use a great prog called CD-Boot. It puts an additional startup-sequence in your S drawer. At boot up your Amiga first looks to see if there is a bootable CD in your drive. If so, it gives you the choice of booting into the CD or into Workbench. It makes an A4000 or A1200 act just like a CD32 8-)

It checks your CD drive at a very early stage of booting up as CD32 games usually require the full 2MB of chip ram of course
 :-)

I've had it for years myself, but to see if it is still available you could contact the author Thomas Kessler. His E-mail address is/was kessler@fim.uni-erlangen.de

I totally agree with Moto. WHDLoad cannot be praised or recommended enough. In my opinion you can't beat playing your games directly from hard drive and being able to press a single key to exit back to your Workbench screen.

You can get WHDLoad from here http://www.whdload.de


I've checked and the CD32 installer for Oscar/Diggers is available. Go here http://www.whdload.de/search.html and type Diggers in the search box. It says " Supported are two different floppy versions, the CD³² version and the CD³² Oscar/Diggers-Bundle".


For your game click on the writing 'WHDLoad Install for Oscar (Flaire Software)' and then download the file 'Oscar.lha'  :-)
