Simple question about CD32 games
« on: April 18, 2009, 07:21:15 PM »
Will they work on an A1200/4000 equipped with a CD ROM drive?

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.


Thanks for the info!  I think I actually own AsimCDFS somewhere in my closet.
