CD32 Games On WinUAE?

[drwho]

Hi Folks,

I am sure this will be an easy question to answer, but, for some reason, I am having issues this morning.

Is it possible to play CD32 games under WinUAE?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, you will need a CD32 Kickstart v40.60 file to boot CD32 game CD's :-)

  Don't feel bad,  I have AF 6.0 w/cd32 rom and the default CD32 config crashes so badly I have to physically turn off the winbox.

  So I wonder as well..

Oh, ok...

Hmmm .... I don't have a CD32 Rom, I was under the impression that they were 1.3 boxes for some reason, although, I have never actually used one.

I will have to keep looking around I guess.

Well, I couldn't even get that far, since I didn't have the ROM, which I didn't know I needed. I assume this ROM is available from Amiga Forever? I have been meaning to purchase that for a while, maybe this is a good time to try it out.

I assume that there is no way to use the CD32 software on my A3000 either? It has a CDRW attached, I can read the disc, but, I cannot do much else with it.

Nope, it needs AGA.  There were some little hacks that enabled soft-booting into a CD32 disk on an A1200.  UAE does include a 'CD32 Mode' thats supposed to automatically kick in when you choose that rom (included in Amiga Forever) - it includes emulation of the 1Kb flash that was used to save games (bit different to these 16Mb memory cards for XBox!).

Not sure about that crashing, tried configuring it by hand? (don't have any CD32 games or the right rom, so can't give any helpful advise :-P).
