Putty Squad for Amiga CD32 request thread. - Page 8

TADDA!!!!! Well done guys

Putty Squad - Over 20 years and now it's the Amiga CD32's & Mega Drive's turn!

Quote:

The Amiga sourced version wasn't actually released until Christmas Eve, 2013, making Putty Squad for the Amiga the most authentic Putty experience available. But that's not all! As now it's the Amiga CD32's turn, as Psygore, Galahad, Earok & Codetapper have made available the CD32 version with a very special bonus on top! -

The Mega Drive version not by the Amiga scene is sourced at the bottom of the article

If only a pressed CD release would be made, in some small limited ammount... that would be just great. Unfortunately it would be probably violating some System 3 rules (and I do not think anyone would let make pressed CD batch for free).

Burnt CDs are just not good enough for such a great game.

True. I settled with DIY solution.

Well they gave permission for a limited disk run... so why not, maybe we just need to ask?

Probably Galahad could, he is a trusted person.

Happy to report one of those three is already bundled with Putty Squad CD32, and another one is on the way

Great stuff, now add the CD audio tracks from the PS4 version!

Just tried both the Putty Squad and Aladdin iso and I cannot get them to work. after the screen with button mappings, screen goes blank and nothing happens. Checked winuae settings are for basic CD32. I then burnt both iso to CD and tried in my real CD32, the same thing happened. I have burnt other CD32 iso's with no issues. Any ideas ?

I burned the iso-Images under MakeCD and tried out on a real CD32.
PuttySquad is working fine. But if I use an extension like the CD32fWSI I get some flicker on the background and Aladdin will not start.

Has someone Aladdin tested successfully on a real CD32?

Yes, Aladdin works just fine on a real cd32, though I've only tested on a Pal CD32 and I know some aga games have problems with languages set to other than English. Personally burned my copy with ImgBurn on Windows. What is a cd32fwsl?

You have to take into account that the moment you put an fwsi on your CD32, it stops being a stock CD32, so problems could arise.
Perhaps the install does not cater for that extra hardware being present and it creates problems.
It would be hard to diagnose this very particular hardware setup without owning the actual hardware, so unless someone donates these guys an fwsi disk unit, I see fat chance of any problem getting fixed.

Question for earok and psygore: do the original Aladdin and Putty Squad cause trouble when you have an external floppy disk drive? That could be creating an issue.

amigapd · 23 November 2015, 02:19

Hi - I have a CD32fWSI too (see this link and scroll down for those who haven't heard of these before http://amiga.resource.cx/search.pl?amiga=cd32) and I have experienced the same problem - Aladdin didn't load and Putty Squad I got a wierd flicker on the background images.

I removed the CD32fWSI and the games worked fine -

One thing I didn't try was disabling the disk drive before booting - if you hold down the mouse button when switching on you get to a boot screen and you can disable the disk drive - I don't know if this will help.

Cobe · 23 November 2015, 03:57

It has been reported here on eab in some old fwsi related thread that Aladdin and some other games wont run from floppy either.

mc68060 · 23 November 2015, 19:14

Can you do Cool Spot and Global Gladiators next? I think they use the same loader as Aladdin and Putty.

That's because those games didn't run on CD32. It wasn't related to the floppy itself.
But now that they have been fixed to run, some sort of floppy conflict has appeared.

Leeched right away!

I think that those games would run if fwsi didn't consume small but probably necessary amount of ram plus patched the rom.

Whitesnake · 24 November 2015, 19:07

Great release, Psygore and Earok

Personally I wouldn't recommend the floppy drive interface for the CD32 at all.

It doesn't allow Cool Spot or Global Gladiators to run and it also stops various CD32 titles from working not only that but it disables the extra buttons on a CD32 controller so it only works as a 2 button controller.

So that means it renders other CD32 titles useless.

Hopefully one day the loader used for this release of Putty Squad and Aladdin could be adapted for games like Cool Spot, Global Gladiators, The Lion King, Primal Rage. or any other awkward to run 2mb or AGA only titles.
