Help needed with Amiga cds

12 June 2009, 20:05

Hi all, i am new here and just discovered this wonderful forum.
I've been looking for a tutorial on how to configure WinUae to read cds with no luck. I have no problems with cd32 or cdtv, i just mount an image and it works, but i dont know how to tell WinUae to start any Amiga Cd.
If a thread exist sorry but i didnt find it, many thanks for any help you may give me.

CDROM software installation will be exact same as with real Amigas, only difference is device name (uaescsi.device).

Search this board for uaescsi.device

Thanks a lot Toni, right answer, i was missing that.
I will experiment now on booting my cds, hope everything will work.
Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

Amigas don't boot from CD (except CD32 and CDTV), at least normally.

WinUAE can if you mount the CD as a harddrive but that is "emulating" something that does not exist

You are reading my mind

I already did what you said, mounted the cd as a hardrive and i guess the only way to run a cd is to run the executable, am i right? Also i can load the Workbench and the cd icon appears (as a HD).
Sorry to bother but this is all new to me, cause i never used a real Amiga with a cd drive.
Thanks again.
