Yes of course! But I was really referring to the fact that really very few games made use of the additional storage space provided by the CD media - a lot were simply diect ports, or occasionally direct ports with the addition of CD audio.

I think you should spend it all on beer and then post a youtube video of the effects...

Not true for burned media. Might be the case in an ideal world, but I have seen many CD-Rs from the late 90ies fail while most of the floppy disks still work. But I agree on the theoretical part. Especially when made in a pressing plant, properly mastered CDs should last much longer.

This offer is open again - I'm not sure what happened with Galahad's fix, whether he just lost interest or something else. Anyone out there reckon they can fix it?

Heavy Stylus · 07 May 2009, 15:40

Sorry to bump this request again - if necessary I'm willing to increase the bounty offered for this. Please can someone help?

Heavy Stylus · 18 May 2010, 10:01

Bounty raised to £75. That's my final offer :/

Happy to pay an individual or donate to the charity of your choice. I have the funds ready in my paypal account.

StingRay · 18 May 2010, 10:11

Is this urgent? If not, I will have a look but it won't be too soon as I don't have much time these days (and bought a lovely 1983 VW "toy" recently which means even less time for Amiga related things

). Also, I can't promise anything as I don't have much experience with CD32 stuff. Oh, and as for your money, keep it.

Heavy Stylus · 18 May 2010, 11:35

ah, not urgent at all StingRay. Note that the only requirement is to get the game running on a stock 2MB CD32. I don't mind the fact that a keyboard is required

Also, I can obviously create the iso myself. Note musashi5150's comments on the previous page.

musashi5150 · 07 May 2011, 18:41

After a few days work I've got a 100% full 2MB version of this running on my WinUAE emulated stock CD32

Thanks go to girv for lending me the crack patch from his WHDLoad install.

Of course a WinUAE CD32 isn't a real one so I want to give it some testing on real hardware myself before I start setting it free into the world so I'm keeping my eyes peeled on eBay for a cheap CD32 system with PSU & pad... fingers crossed I find one soon.

For the cynical amongst you I did it for my own amusement and not for the bounty.

Watch this space

I've been playing this all evening on a real CD32 and it is fantastic. Thanks to mushashi5150 for doing this for free. Will make it publicly downloadable very soon... if I can stop playing it!

kipper2k · 05 July 2011, 00:32

took a while for you to get it. Hats off to musashi5150

musashi5150 · 05 July 2011, 09:38

Indeed, might be a little late for that gaming event

But at least it's something annouced for the Amiga that is actually real

cosmicfrog · 05 July 2011, 17:37

ohhh nice 1

prowler · 05 July 2011, 21:56

Great work, Musashi!

Heavy Stylus · 07 July 2011, 22:14

Update: Steve Turner is sending me a DAT tape containing what he thinks is the unreleased CD32 soundtrack for Uridium 2. I'll make this publicly downloadable soon.

cosmicfrog · 08 July 2011, 16:15

Thanks for reminding me about rgcd as well

found some nice stuff to play

CD-R longevity depends on dye and storage conditions. Many older dyes don't last very long. CD-R technology seems to last longer DVD-/+R though.

Heavy Stylus · 11 July 2011, 10:50

DAT tape received and forwarded on to a data recovery company. Hopefully I'll have a copy of the unreleased CD32 soundtrack to share by the end of the week!

nujack · 11 July 2011, 20:10

That would be awesome! Hopefully the data is not lost and can be recovered.

BTW there was also an anouncement for Ruff'n'Tumble CD32 back in the days ...
