AMIGA CD32 Games Compilation Toolkit: create your own ultra-fast compilations! - Page 2

Yes, it's fully compatible with an A1200. I actually use it on such a machine. You have to use a different version of WHDLoad though since the one included with this toolkit runs on AMIGA CD32 only.

Indeed, good work,

In the future create a simple guide to get all in amiga 1200 ?

Cammy · 11 October 2008, 08:23

I'd say the guide would be the same for making the system work with an A1200, except you just don't need to burn a CD, and you'd use the normal version of WHDLoad. But I agree it would be handy if the manual pointed out how to do it on an A1200 too.

GREAT MANUAL, by the way! Very intuitive, I can't wait to try it out.

Kind person is here and uploaded the pack and the manual to Magix FTP in the folder 'new apps'

lennonlives · 11 October 2008, 14:15

An updated version of the manual is inside the pack!

11 October 2008, 14:15

Nice one mate! Downloading now, great manual by the way too, can`t wait to boot this up on my A1200.

lennonlives · 11 October 2008, 14:18

I'm working on a version of the toolkit specifically for the A1200

Be sure to replace WHDLoad when using the pack on an A1200. The one included with the pack is WHDLoadCD32.

Sorry, just uploaded it without having a further look. Thanks for the pack btw

lennonlives · 11 October 2008, 14:38

You're welcome, mate

I hope I didn't screw up anything and it works just fine.

Retro1234 · 11 October 2008, 14:41

The music mods are a realy nice touch

- Ill have to update my AGS setup on my A1200.

crabfists · 11 October 2008, 17:32

This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it.

Thanks so much. Must have been a lot of work.

I'm already working on version 1.1 of the toolkit, which will include a version specifically for the AMIGA CD32 and one for all other AGA AMIGAs.

I reorganized the toolkit's folder structure a little to prepare support for running the toolkit from the Workbench rather than having it boot automatically on turning on your AMIGA, which might be feature sought after by quite a few users I suppose. Both ways of running the toolkit will be supported. It would be nice if someone contributed a nice-looking icon for AMS

I also dropped the idea of using an archive to move some AMS data to the RAM disk for caching purposes. It seems to have been a meander. Using the 147 data file bundles provided with the toolkit I compared a 1.0 build and a 1.1 build of the same CD. The CD created with version 1.1 of the toolkit took 10 seconds less to boot than the 1.0 counterpart. Quite some gain. Everything is read directly from the CD now with some changes made to AMS's source code to make up for the CD drive's slower seek times.

Please share your impressions of the toolkit, report bugs and make suggestions for improvements.

I hope you're enjoying the toolkit,

Lenny

I hate to say it, but it was a little buggy for me. I made a disc with five games on it, yet for some reason when the menu booted up, it showed one of the games twice and one wasn't there. Also, it could not load the games, and I am pretty sure I did everything right. One other thing I noticed, not a bug but still something that is worth noting, it seems the menu selection is TOO fast! It is hard to acurately select an item on the menu because it keeps skipping past them too quickly. I have to go up and down, up and down, until it finally selects the one in the middle that I want.

I'm sorry to let you know my unfortunate experiences, hopefully it works fine for everyone else.

@cammy,

This is the kind of stuff I was talking about with NTSC CD32 systems in the hardware mods thread.

Charlie · 12 October 2008, 23:13

Marvellous!
