Can you create Amiga CDs on a PC?
Pretty simple question, but I know you can't write Amiga floppies on a PC, so wondered if the same went for CDs.
Is there any way to do it? I've just got my CD player working (properly I think), but don't have any CDs aside from normal audio ones to try out. I'd love to be able to download some of the many coverdisks available online & have a bit of a go with them PZ. |

Yea, just burn a normal data cd. And download lots of Whdload games, and unpack them on your Amiga

Cool, thanks for that
I actually chucked a PC CD full of .D64 files in the miggy just to see what would happen about 30 mins ago and was surprised to see it was reading correctly. This is a good...I mean GREAT thing! PZ. |

I am sure it should be possible to unpack the Whdload games to a CD and run them with WHDLoad from there on a real Amiga? Anyone done that?

@ DDNI:
It´s possible. But be careful with file names containing "-". They could be renamed as "_". I suppose it depends on the burning method or CDFS. |

Yes, it is. I use Nero to burn WHDload games and other Amiga stuff from the internet.
But you´re right. MakeCD could be a better choice. I´ll give it a try with Amikit. Thanks for this brilliant idea |
