CD32 games that work properly

Ian · 24 February 2002, 21:24

OK, this is just an idea of mine to save some of you some time downloading something that doesn't work with the new WinUAE or has problems.

I plan to add games as I test them, and other's could do the same

I'm going through my collection in alphabetical order and the first is Akira and I'm sorry to say it works

I won't bother with pictures, you'll just have to take my word for it

stainy · 24 February 2002, 21:26

SillyPutty, Brutal Football and DOTC2 work so far

well for me anyway

RetroMan · 24 February 2002, 21:28

Well I would like to test too, but WinUAE crashes everytime I try to set up a CD³²

It just freezes, without showing anything than a black screen !

Ian · 24 February 2002, 21:36

Try turning off immediate blit's (If you have it enabled) I sometimes get a VC runtime error with that enabled. I'll post my config if you want

Sod it I'll post it anyway, remember to change your rom locations though

let me know if it yields positive results

Ian · 24 February 2002, 21:40

Stainy (And anyone else who adds to the list), I hope you don't mind, but when I have time I'm going to delete your post's and make the list an easy to read alphabetical list

Credit will be given though, to the testee

Alien Breed 3D Doesn't Work

stainy · 24 February 2002, 21:48

good idea Ian

Ian · 24 February 2002, 21:49

Alien Breed SE

Works as well as the floppy version

But has a problem with the computer's where you buy gun's and stuff. This might actually be in the floppy version, but I don't remember it so here goes:

When you walk into the computer you automatically log in, this cause's a few problems when you exit (Log off) the computers as you just log straigt back in again

You can get out of it though, hold down while logging out and after a couple of times of being logged back on, you'll eventually be far enough away to not log in again.

Qwak

Work's

I haven't played this game much but as far as I can see it works without any problems.

It's on the same CD/iso as Alien Breed SE anyway, so no extra downloading for this game

Ian · 24 February 2002, 22:33

Alien Breed Tower Assualt

Doesn't work

Very strange this one, sometimes it work's to the intro sometimes it doesn't, don't know why, but here are my thought's on whats happening:

Seems to depend on CPU speed, if you set it to A500 speed it boot's past the CD32 spinny logo thing and sometimes start's the intro some times it generates a runtime error?

Maybe this is because of my system, someone else should test this if they have it

If you select fastest possible CPU speed, it reset's (with a flash of red, probably a guru error??) after the CD32 logo begins to spin off the screen.

Alien Breed 2

Doesn't work

Same problems as above. Can't get anything to work with this one

Ian · 24 February 2002, 22:41

Works

Infact this version is better than the floppy version, guess those extra buttons really come into play and make this more enjoyable to play than the floppy version.

If you like this game, this is the best version

Ian · 24 February 2002, 22:49

Works

Works well, no problem's other than no music plays, but this may be because the version I have has seperate MP3 files for the music track's.

There are a couple of demo's on this disk too, a Super Stardust rolling demo, which works fine with sound and Superfrog, which does work, but the frog always seems to be jumping even when your not touching the joypad/stick, maybe a bug for Toni to look at, there is no sound in the demo either.

Ian · 24 February 2002, 22:54

Works

Same problem as Arcade Pool though, no music and again this could be because Daemon tools doesn't mount mp3 files with iso's properly, when I have time I'll burn it to a cd and check if I'm right

But for know, back to more testing

Ian · 24 February 2002, 22:58

Doesn't work

Similar problems to the Alien Breed Tower Assualt disk, reset's after the CD32 logo screen and appears to just hang in A500 speed mode.

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:01

Doesn't work

Game load's fine, but when it begins to load a level it reset's back to the (Now familiar

) CD32 logo screen

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:11

Works

But for the life of me, I can't play a bloody match in it, probably just because I don't know what button's to press to set the thing in motion

Stainy say's he's got it working so ask him what to press because I can't get past the control select screen (Where you select between novice etc etc)

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:16

Works

No sound though, game plays fine

Edit: Scratch that sound DOES work, I have found out why it wasn't working and will pass on this information when Toni has looked into it

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:23

Works

Again no sound (Begining to think it's an old problem WinUAE used to have when it crashed, I will test these game again later), but the game plays fine.

I'm begining to notice problems with the mapped controls, sometimes they work on my joypad and sometimes they work on the keyboard and sometimes neither work at all.

Toni, am I right in thinking that it should work on both the joypad and numeric pad??

Edit: Sound also work's in this game now

(Now that I know what's wrong

)

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:27

Works

There goes my theory about the sound bug, it's working again, and so is Cannon Fodder, seem's as though Toni ironed out the problems with this game.

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:30

Works

Sound and game both fine, although I needed to set the sound buffer to 5 or 6 to avoid choppy sound

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:40

doesn't Work

Game appears to be loading, but after a short while it starts to flash colours over the screen, much like when programs had been compressed with powerpacker/turbo imploder.

Sorry I can't be much more help than that

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:43

Works

Game plays fine, infact better than the floppy version again

Again it's those extra buttons meaning that up doesn't jump, which with my joypad is a god send.

Sound doesn't work though.

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:45

Works

Again no sound, but the actual game works fine

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:48

Works

Perfect sound and gameplay, who could ask for more

Extra buttons help as well (Again

)

Ian · 24 February 2002, 23:59

Diggers

Works

Same sound problems as Oscar (Yes I wrote that one first

), first time I played the game fine, second (when I just tested it) I got a run time error after selecting the mouse as the controller. After testing it again it worked fine, guess it an intermitent problem.

Oscar

Works

Strange problems here (Strange to me anyway

) CD music plays fine, but no in game SFX work or music that isn't on the CD, game works as well as I remember from my real CD32 anyway

Dizzy - The Big Six

I forgot I had this and I ain't messing up my alphabetical order for no-one

Works

No sound, probably because of the MP3 files not being loaded properly by daemon tools again.

Game works fine

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:02

Doesn't Work

And I wasn't expecting it to, it's a beta version for pete's sake

Intro works though, shame this game was never finished

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:16

Works

Sound and game all there

Some dodgy GFX on the title screen, but nothing more than that

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:18

Doesn't Work

Game crashes when loading first level, doesn't appear to be any sound either, but as the game doesn't actually work I can't say for sure.

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:24

Works

Sound and game working in perfect harmony

Strange problem with the CD32 buttons, only the number pad appears to work in this game:confised

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:29

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:41

Works

No sound, but the game runs fine otherwise

Note to self, must learn to play some of these games

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:46

Although I wish it didn't

No sound.

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:49

Works

Sound and game both doing well.

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:53

Doesn't Work

Game loads and run's fine, it just doesn't move off the first screen, you can walk off the edge and walk back again, but the screen never moves

No sound either.

Ian · 25 February 2002, 00:56

Works

Same flickering screen problem as the adf version, but it's fully working, Enter the Dragon samples 'n all

Ian · 25 February 2002, 01:02

Works

You can really see the problems with CDXL anims with this, hopefully Toni can get round this soon

Sound works fine in this game, if you can find it, consider downloading it

Here's a hint, Retroman supplied the URL where you can get it

Ian · 25 February 2002, 01:05

May work who knows

Game loads, but I can't get any button (Joypad or keypad) to work when over the language selection bit

Ian · 25 February 2002, 01:12

Doesn't work

Crashes (the Amiga not the emulator) when loading menu screen (I think)

Ian · 25 February 2002, 01:27

Doesn't work

Or atleast takes ages to load, my bet is it doesn't work

Ian · 25 February 2002, 01:29

Works

No sound again, this may be system related, can someone else, who doesn't have a soundblaster confirm it doesn't work for them please
