Running T-ZerO on WinUAE

[Kitty]

Anyone got any clue how to run this on WinUAE? I'm assuming it can be done.

I think these are the right specs for the game;

68030, AGA, 8 Meg RAM, CD-ROM

Now I tried this spec and mounting the game via alcohol and adding a path to the mounted cdrom in winuae, with 3.1 Kick and it didnt work, went to Amiga dos prompt grey page.

I tried CD32 config with extra ram, this booted the CD32 start slightly different to normal but didnt boot into the game.

So I'm lost to how to run this game correctly, I read somewhere on this forum a while back that if any software is for a real Amiga, it can be run on WinUAE

Any help please guys

It's an Amiga CD game, not CD32 compatible. Check older EAB threads.

Could you point me to an old thread of help please, I been browsing for a while now and can't find an answer

Either you need an installed WB+CD-Rom driver, or the script which KG mentioned.

Yeah it should work, you don't actually need that many files from the OS though. I had it running from a startup script from a HDD bypassing Workbench so it should be no different from a CD, although I didn't have CD music obviously.

I'm afraid you have to burn the CD. Use analog audio out. The only way i was able to hear the audio tracks in Amiga CD games.

There is no need for adding anything in the HDD tab. I mentioned it not so long ago.

Getting to AmigaDOS means the game shouldn't be loaded with a CD32 config., it's a "pure" AmigaCD game, meaning you simply need click on the executable icon from the WB.

Ok I already got a hardrive setup in winuae with workbench 3.1 installed, I just need a cd driver then, aminet?

[NewDeli]

for the CD to be mounted and appear as an icon on your WB desktop, uaescsi should be ticked and pointing to SPTI (in misc panel).
Alternately, you may try it with NeroASPI if you have Nero installed.

You're not running Windows 98 are you ?

or you can got to Hard Drives tab and check 'include CD/DVD drives..'

[Retro-Nerd]

Yes, check the Aminet for some cd-rom drivers. Try this, or maybe AsimCDFS or CacheCDFS.

or you can got to Hard Drives tab and check 'include CD/DVD drives..'

I think you don't hear any music then, right?

Ok that worked doing that

Btw this game is awesome! a whole new Amiga experience for me!

Just gotta burn the game to cd to get the in game music running too

You're not running Windows 98 are you ?

My pc ain't that old lol, I'm running Win Xp Pro

[Kitty]

So I just burn all the data with nero as a data cd right?

[Retro-Nerd]

Do you a proper Bin/Cue or Clone CD dump? This cracked ISO/version doesn't have any CD audio tracks, iirc.

[Kitty]

T-Zer0.nrg 653mb

[Retro-Nerd]

Looks like the proper image. Don't burn it as a Data CD. Use Recorder -> burn image or mouse rightclick "open with.." and then browse Nero.

With my nero-pack comes a little handy tool named 'nero image drive'
If you got that, it can mount .iso and .nrg

[Retro-Nerd]

Sure, but you can't hear any Amiga CD game music tracks with the mounted image. Maybe with the old DemonTools 3.47, last version with analog audio support.

Retro_Nerd is indeed correct, I just tried this method with nero image drive and indeed no in game music

I will burn the game now and report back my progress.

In fact, you shouldn't need to have that setting activated.
Not a problem for a quickplay, but the usual way is having your CD mounted via the uaescsi device (aka SPTI set in misc. tab).

If you like that kind of games, [ Show youtube player ] is another impressive shooter (for PCs). But even on the Amiga, I find there are better ones (with a more balanced gameplay).

And, yes, if you can't afford a Core i7, Dual or Quad core are the way to go for faster & better gaming (I had one of those Athlon64 a few monthes ago, so I can be trusted when evoking a huge boost, AND a better hibernate mode).

The verified solution is a WB+CD-rom driver+burned CD+analog out (sound card connected to your CD/DVD drive.
