Amiga Forever 2012 & Mounting ISO files
Hello Everyone!
I'm running Amiga Forever 2012, under the A4000 System running Amiga OS 3.9. I'm able to access physical CDs with no problem, but I am unable to mount ISO files. Can someone please explain, in detail how to mount ISO files like CDs? Thank You. ps I sent an e-mail to CLOANTO with no response. |

Try using uaescsi.device.
Press F12, select restart, click on expansions, select uaescsi.device. Save config file. To load an iso file select hardrives, select image file, press start. |

I usually do it on Windows side, using Daemon Tools.

Mounting ISO & CUE (CD ROM) files
Okay, I figured out how to do that, but I still cann't mount any ISO or CUE (CD ROM) files. I'm able to mount them under the Workbench 3.X, and can't figure out what the difference is.
Thanks |

Make sure that there is CD0 or EMERGENCY_CD in Devs/DosDrivers which looks like this:
Code:
/***************************************************************/ /* CacheCDFS mountlist entry © 2000 Amiga Inc. */ /***************************************************************/ FileSystem = L:CacheCDFS /* The name of the game */ Device = "uaescsi.device" /* Name of exec device driver */ Unit = 0 /* exec device unit */ Flags = 0 /* OpenDevice flags */ BlocksPerTrack = 351000 /* Unused */ BlockSize = 2048 /* True, but unused */ Mask = 0x7ffffffe /* Memory mask for direct read */ MaxTransfer = 0x10000 /* Maximum amount of bytes for direct read */ Reserved = 0 /* Unused */ Interleave = 0 /* Unused */ LowCyl = 0 /* Unused */ HighCyl = 0 /* Unused */ Surfaces = 1 /* Unused */ Buffers = 50 /* Number of cache lines */ BufMemType = 1 /* MEMF_PUBLIC */ BootPri = 2 /* Boot priority for MountCD */ GlobVec = -1 /* Do not change! */ Mount = 1 /* Mount it immediately */ Priority = 10 /* Priority of FileSystem task */ DosType = 0x43443031 /* Currently unused */ StackSize = 3000 /* Minimum stack required is 3000! */ Control = "MD=0 LC=1 DC=8 L LV AL LFC=1 S NC AUDIO=Utilities/PlayCD" /* The Control field is for special adjustments */ /* L/S convert all file/volume names to lowercase */ /* LV/S convert volume names to lowercase */ /* AL/S Auto-Lower converts only non-Amiga CDs */ /* LFC/N start converting at this character */ /* LC/N/A number of blocks per cache line */ /* DC/N/A number of cache lines for the data cache */ /* MD/N/A number of blocks, when starting direct read, not using */ /* the cache. 0 will be a reasonable default (LC*DC+1) */ /* S/S Do SCSI direct commands, no Trackdisk like commands! */ /* NC/S Do NOT use TD_ADDCHANGEINT, poll for DiskChange! */ /* M/S Issue a TD_MOTOR (OFF) command after read */ |

Mounting ISO & CUE files
Yes, I have that. I know it something simple I'm forgetting to do.
Thank You. |

Verify that it's exactly like that above. Especially FileSystem, Device, Unit and MaxTransfer are important.
Also check that uaescsi.device is avtivated in WinUAE config. |

I have found that not all iso's mount properly. Superfrog & chuckrock mount ok for me.
If the iso came with a cue file, try using that instead. |

Why don't you try it on windows side with Daemon Tools (lite) - haven't seen any problems with it. The images on Daemon Tools drive show fine on Amiga workbench - just looked some anims of Eric Schwartz from CD.

Daemon Tools is the most crashy piece of software I've ever tried. Never had as many blue screens as with this installed.
I prefer VirtualCloneDrive or Alcohol 52%. |

Wow, I never had it to crash in 7 years I think. Have VCD and Alcohol 120, too but Daemon tools is so easy to use. But the alternatives are good, perhaps better.

I won't risk installing any iso mounters in windows anymore. The amount of games that won't run because the crappy software protection detects them is unreal. I have had to use no cd cracks on quite a lot of software I own because of that. |

You need to press F12 first, load an ISO file, then the CD icon will appear.

Browse to your D:\ drive, select the file and press Upload, then close the window. Now your file will be shown below the Reply panel. Right-click on the filename and select Properties from the menu. This is the URL you can use to insert the picture into your post between [IMG] [/IMG] tags. Done! |
