You can't make ADF out of a CD.

What about Hard Files?  Never used them but seems like the only sollution...

what do you want to achieve ? AFAIK you just generate an .iso image out of your CD...

.adf is for floppy disks only.

The main purpose of this venture is to get them into a format that I can use for Amiga Forever / UAE on my Mac / UAE-X (X-Box).  I COULD use them just from the CDs but my X-Box drive is flaky so I was looking for another sollution.

Oh, and it only recognizes .adf, hardfile or strait from the CD...

Make .iso of the CD.

Install software that allows you to mount iso files (for windows: DaemonTools)

So you want to play CD32 games on WinUAE?

Wouldn't it be as easy as installing a working CD drive on your Windows machine?

Wouldn't you be able to play directly from the CD then using WinUAE?

I don't have a CD32 and never played with one. Can you not backup those CDs to HDF in WinUAE? Just curious...
