Heya urbanbadger74,

Welcome to EAB

That screenshot is from Batman Returns, not Batman The Movie...

Anyway, you can find the image on the EAB File Server under either:

• Commodore_Amiga/CD/In_TOSEC_Collection/Amiga-ISO/Homebrew/Compilations/[ISO]
• Commodore_Amiga/TOSEC/TOSEC-ISO (2018-07-27)/Amiga CD32/Homebrew/Compilations/[BIN]

[urbanbadger74]

o a black screen after the menu anyway so not sure if it work or indeed the correct game

not sure its the same version or not? I'll have to try it when i get home but the one i'm looking for is different than your screen shot.

here is a link to what the game should be.

How does CD32 cd's handle "illegal" characters ?
As you probably know, Batman The Movie WHD version doesn't work unless extracted to a native Amiga filesystem.

ya that's not the one i'm looking for but thanks for trying anyway.

Maybe someone knows how to convert it Batman the movie to CD32 or it cannot be done?

[Gordon]

Best person to ask is amigajay, he has done hundreds of conversions. Maybe he could do a movie compilation and that would encourage him to do Batman?

Ask him here?

Batman The Movie already runs on CD32 with CD32load, available for instance on this compilation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w7lxaulb2e...ISOCD.zip?dl=0

Note that Amigajay creates the CDs & the compilations, the cover but doesn't forget to credit the right people, the ones who code the whdload slave, whdload, cd32load, custom CD32 fix etc...

[Gordon]

Sorry for my ignorance. I just enjoy the Amiga and sometime I dont realise all the people who make it possible. Thanks to you and everyone else who do! Without you guys we would be struggling with 30 year floppies!

[jotd]

Amigajay BTW you always credit me as JTOD

Someone (maybe Akira IIRC) initiated a CD32Load compatibility list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...4LI/edit#gid=0

If it's green, it's runnable & useable fully with pad controls, and probably on RUGCD see above link

[Retroplay]

Batman on that CD is using the old faulty v1.3 slave.

[jotd]

ok, I'll update the slave on the CD. new slave will probably work well too.

[Retroplay]

That brings me back to this question:

How does CD32 cd's handle "illegal" characters ?
As you probably know, Batman The Movie WHD version doesn't work unless extracted to a native Amiga filesystem.

If it's not file system compatible the unpublished v1.4 slave would probably be the better choice for inclusion on CD.

[jotd]

You're right. Now I remember having added ____ at the end of BATMAN file & manually patched the slave so it works & can be stored on windows filesystem.

But the second stage isn't working so update needed.

[Retroplay]

v1.4 slave attached in the thread above works fine.
Also available at WHDownLoad
http://whdownload.com/games/Update-2..._v1.4_0019.zip

[jotd]

1.5 works too

Speaking of the imager, the files are saved with their original names
(old imager added spaces at the end) but I did not spend any time to
make them Windows compatible! It's an Amiga game and if you play it using
an emulator you should be able to install the game in your emulated
environment!

but Sting took the time to rename the problematic "BATMAN " file to "BATMAN". Other files are okay on windows. Just trailing spaces are an issue here. Spaces inside the filenames work.
