Another cool cover Adding live drums to the Amiga music really creates something different

Thank you! I have the same opinion, so looking for another title to give a try

[TCD]

A seperate playlist for the Amiga drum covers would help to suggest more songs

[Reynolds]

It's now done

[TCD]

Thank you Maybe the Jaguar XJ220 title music next?

Nice. Thanks for all your hard work.

Percussion is really where the 8-bit sample ability of Paula really shows it's age. Adding higher quality samples (or in this case live percussion) really lifts the quality.

Good idea, thanks for that, I'll going to check it!

I'd say sometimes percussion samples were secondary when samples were selected for a music. A good example of having better (sounding) samples are if you listen Cytron title music or Cool Spot, as in that the song Wipe Out sounds really cool, especially where the standard rock&roll groove is played.
Anyway, sometimes it feels so 80s for me how these tunes sounds at all, which is not a negative opinion for sure as I love that era, so that also was the reason why I wanted to "see" how good these tracks could be with my humble cooperation...

it would be nice to add this cover during the game, but i think that then it will require a lot of disk

Well, in xsmpl format which I've used to listen way back on my 020@28 expanded A1200 with no lag at all it would be feasible I think and it would cost maybe +1 or 2 disks

In theory it should be possible (with help from JOTD) to make a CDTV ISO which runs CDload (cut-down WHDload for CDTV/CD32) with CDDA audio.

JOTD stopped work on this because WHDload disables the OS (and so you can't use the AmigaOS libraries for CDDA playback) and JOTD was having issues re-implementing CDDA playback so that it worked consistently. The HW is probably broken and requires workarounds built into AmigaOS but never documented.

[Reynolds]

Yeah, a lot of good ideas which were never or just partially implemented.
Anyway, this issue is also valid with the CD32 too?

Yes I believe so. JOTD has a CD32load thread where he worked with others including Toni Wilen of WinUAE to "bang the metal" to start playback, stop, change tracks etc. worked in WinUAE but not always on the real hardware. I *think* the issues were interleaving data and audio plus error correction with retry? I don't really know but he had some great successes. Ultimately I think burning CD-Rs that didn't work ground him down.

The WHDload slave for NoSecondPrize requires 2.5MB RAM which probably means it's probably not going to work with CD32load?
