CD32 rips

mai · 23 October 2009, 21:12

I have always wondered, why many TOSEC disks (CD32 rips) got the [b] flag.
Indeed, all or most of them does not work in WinUAE emulator, i have tried many times and different configurations - no success.
Now i own a real machine and are able to test/check this images.
For Example:
I have just written back to disk:
Super Methane Bros CD32 (1994)(Apache)(AGA)[cr B&B][b][CD32 rip]
and it works on real A1200.
So i think, that most CD32 rips, which got [b] flag works on the real machine.
Now i ask you, what is the problem, why many CD32 rips dont work in Emulator, needs special configuration?

...ah sorry

, wrong section
@moderators: probably needs moving to "problems games".

Hi Mai,

What does the "b" flag signify? Also, how does the "b" flag differ from other the flags?

I am willing to bet most will run on an emulated machine when the conditions set are correct.

I have renamed some and am sure I had them working.. Though I cannot remember for certain.

These rips may also have loaders that are not compatible with an emulated environment (they might do bad things!)

I saw that some adfs with [b] required only kickstart 1.2 to work.

Does anyone want to try, to get it running in WinUAE emulator?

Simple reason: they are AGA -> 68020 ("not 68000") -> it is not even supposed to be compatible enough. yet. Nothing to do with CD32.
