Need some help with CD32
Hello. I just got my hands on Amiga CD32. The console came with AC adapter and one joypad. Seller said that it`s 100% working Amiga (but had no games with it). So I burned one CD from ISO image. Not reading it. Searched around google and this forum for burning tutorial and did like it says. I burned both cue/bin and cue/iso images (one with Nero and the other with Alcohol set to RAWDAO) and still nothing. Am I doing something wrong or the laser is just dead? (I did clean it)
Can anyone send me a link to some image file that is ``ready to burn`` so I can test Amiga for sure? In most tutorials there are wav or mp3 files that have to be burned, I couldn`t find a single game with audio tracks. (every image is in cue/iso or cue/bin format) It is very possible that the seller is fraud but I don`t want to give up on this amazing piece of techmology! |

I do, but I read in some Amiga CD32 FAQ that it is impossible to read audio CDs wihout special software...so i thought that this is not solution for testing laser
I did try original and burned audio CD but nothing, drive spins and laser is making ussual noise but repeating non-stop. |

CD32 will play audio cds fine, it should come up with a cd player menu.
If it doesn't then it definitely sounds like a laser problem (especially if it sounds like it is struggling to read it, stopping and starting). |

I have uploaded bubble and squuek to the ZONE.
Download it and burn it with deepburner http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download (choose free) using a low WRITE SPEED I have had problems when burning with high write speeds so that culd be an issue |

That`s right, I read the question on that FAQ wrong. Well, thanx for the info. I`ll try to mess around some more.... I managed to repair bad laser on Sega Dreamcast by messing with laser power pot.

I fixed the laser! Hoooray! This is the third one I managed to fix! (psone and Dreamcast)
Sweet, it even loads disc that was only ISO format. Last edited by misjah; 18 September 2009 at 20:43. |
