Limiting cdrom speeds in classicwb39?

Mendel · 18 June 2012, 21:31

I have a 48x cd rom drive and I´d like to limit it to running at like max 4x or 8x speed. It´s because it makes a really, really horrible noise when it accelerates all the way up to 48x speed. Maybe there is a way to limit it and thus make it less noisy?

Theres a program, name escapes me though. I tried it and it didnt slow it down, something to do with the drive type.

Yep, thats it, never really went to deep into it.
Let us know how you get on, as I may have another good.

If I recall, my slot loading DVD drive refused to go at lower speed.
I would rather it run at lower speed, for same reason as you.
I main use drive for CD32 emulation.

Were using it to tame my 52x CD-Rom to 8x - worked flawlessly.

Seems like I need more help with this. Let´s say I put in a cd... then my cdrom ramps up the speed to 48x... if I then run this wolnycd then it immediately slows down my cd to 8x speed which is nice... but when I click on the cdrom drawer it then immediately again speeds up to full speed... so I really do not get it how to use this

yeah i agree i like some powerfull cars after some time the exaust and the engine too loud take as all the thrill ,fortunatly i use only my cdrom only always boot by hd
i have amiga os 3.5 but i am not shure which ones i can play on my miggy 1200 the cd32 ones or other ones

To follow up on this.

I gave WolnyCD another go. After messing with it for awhile. I finally got it working perfect.

It doesnt seem to work correctly if used before mount command.
As I wanted it to slow when I use CD32 games. I added the following after the cd0 mount command in the CD32-Startup;

C:WolnyCD DEVICE=atapi.device UNIT=2 VOLUME=CD0: SPEED=4 QUIET

Obviously, my command uses atapi and unit 2. You would need to change yours to whats in your CD0 file.

I now feel I have the perfect A1200 and CD32 setup.
Every CD32 game works and I have WHDLoad for ADF games.

I had a button left out on WB to launch it when needed.

I figured Im not really interested in fast speeds. So I used command line, hated the drive sounding like a helicopter.

zipper · 30 June 2012, 22:25

That's what I meant, launched WolnyCD - and I mounted CD-Rom also via WB because of that jet sound and vibration my 52x created. And different screenmodes via buttons, too.
