CD32 emulation without CD drive?

[DyLucke]

Hi there folks.

Is there any way i could run a CD32 game using currently an ISO and a vitual drive instead a hardware one?

Cheers.

Guess you could do it with Daemon Tools or something similar in WinUAE

If you're using a real Amiga then you might be able to mount the ISO using DiskImage (on Aminet) then install the game to hard drive with WHDLoad.

Wait a second, i'm just back to the Amiga after loooong time ago (since 1998), so i have plenty of new stuff around.

Are you telling me i can use WHDload to install CD32 games? I thought it was only for floppies.

Yep, there are WHDLoad installers for lots of CD32 games. Go to www.whdload.de and check for an installer for your game. Usually the same installer will all versions of the game, including CD32 if it is supported. You can read the Info page for each installer to check compatibility.

The disadvantage of doing it this way is that you lose the CD32 audio tracks. But AFAIK there is no way to mount the CD image and boot to a CD32 emulation.
