Wierd, whats changed apart from file system?
i.e. block size etc etc.

It ok now I have got it working with your floppy and it was the filesystem I was using FFS,now I have changed to Personnel File System 3 it can read the iso properly.

Post a video soon

And this is with no ram board in (With 2mb PCMCIA card)so it was a reading problem not a memory problem.

And it was not a CF card problem cos I tried it on my real hard drive and that has FFS on it and it didn't work on that too.

The only thing is when saving on Simon it says" Saving failed"..

What are the libs for on the SimCD32 floppy for if they are not used..?

Idea: you could make different copies of the floppy to boot up different CD32 games..

On Microcosm the controls don't work properly.

I don't understand how it isn't running to Riempie with the ACA/56, but he should try changing to PFS3, although it sounds rare to me.

Spanner Microcosm was running ok with the controls in mine, you know, inside the tunnels and shooting.

It might be cos i am using a mega drive pad (Competition Pro II) but it works with all my other games.

Well yep it was FFS that was doing it.

Oh and CD 200 games complication works fine too..

And do you have a problem with saving in Simon..??

Retrofan · 07 August 2012, 18:08

Yes, I coudn't save with Simon either. I have the idea it will be the same in all the games. Something about where it saves them? How does it work in a real CD32, where does it save them? Perhaps it can be changed in the emulator.

Riempie · 07 August 2012, 20:32

Is it possible to change FFS to PFS3 without loosing any data? Maybe just use one empty partition?

If you really have an emty partition, yes, but if you are going to create it you will have to make a backup of the partition you are dividing and save it again. Read this thread of spanner from post 13 too http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=64949

I changed the spelling in your post(in the quotes)..

well when it was on FFS all i changed was the maxtransfer and it did not work but at soon as I put PFS3 on it works fine,it must be a transfer problem with FFS.

All I did was use Retrofan's guide to put PFS3 on my CF and now its work..A OK..

Retrofan · 08 August 2012, 19:44

Really great. So this seems to demonstrate the higher speed PFS3 has over FFS, as it reads it now as fast as from a CD drive.

Could also be the lack of ram expansion. A proper ram expansion gives a massive speed increase. PCMCIA mem, doesnt.

Retrofan · 08 August 2012, 21:11

You are absolutely true; I thought from the beginning it was the reason why Spanner coudn't run it,... but what about Riempie with an ACA56?

Edit: And completely off topic: When I had a Blizzard 1260 I was running a home made adapted version of Amikit. I didn't use it more since I sold it and I bought an ACA. Right now I'm rescuing a copy of it and I will try it, now using an ACA, but also PFS3 and the latest Icon.library to have the right icons. This afternoon I installed a Workbench 3.9 with the latest Dopus Magellan 5.82, but it isn't the same that the Dopus version of Amikit.

spanner · 08 August 2012, 23:55

Have you got a pic of your home made adapted version of Amikit..?

Retrofan · 09 August 2012, 03:10

jeje... Let me work in it a little to see if it works with an ACA

Off course I won't play with AmigaAmp, and I won't use so much colors, but perhaps with the Indi MKII I will have a better screenmode and ... let me see what more. This is what it was two/three years ago: [ Show youtube player ]

gibs · 09 August 2012, 05:57

I have another solution:

You copy the files (from the "floppy") you don't have on your hard-drive.

You put the Startup-sequence from the floppy in S:AmigaBootSelector (name it "CD32Emu.abs" for example)

You edit the CD32Emu.abs to give the path of your Game.iso.

Job done.

Note: For my video I have added "Mount CF0:" before the .iso

Retrofan · 09 August 2012, 14:46

Jeje. I like your videos. Yes, it's a wonderful way.

spannernick · 14 June 2015, 21:00

Just tried CD32 Install Kit and booting with a iso,it works.
You can save simon in it too,the Amiga CD32 boot animation only shows when you install the game to the hard drive.

Arnie · 15 June 2015, 03:36

Are you talking about the Airsoft Install kit? As you can't register it any more, is there a key file for it anywhere?

EDIY: Found it.

spannernick · 16 June 2015, 15:23

I wanted to ask would it be ok to shear the key file for Airsoft CD32 Install kit here..?
