The one off CD32 Gamer is a slideshow preview rather than a playable demo. All the CD32 pics from the slideshow are in the HOL entry. If you guys are still keen, though, I can upload it.....just let me know.

Edit: Sorry, quite late here and my brain's a bit fried. An AGA/CD32 demo was upped at some stage, but can't find anything on my HD (it was probably lost when my old PCs bit the dust earlier in the year unfortunately!). Weird, couldn't find it on the EAB FTP server either. Anyway, the demo was very limited from memory. Galahad had to piece it together, so he should still have it, at least, along with Stainy......

Loads should still have it, if not remind me tomorrow and i'll dig it out.

@Phill
I thought the EAB FTP server would've had a copy too, but for the life of me I just couldn't find it despite using all sorts of weird 'n' wonderful search terms!

DamienD · 26 July 2016, 23:23

See here guys: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...3&postcount=28

DamienD · 27 July 2016, 12:46

Many thanks Stainy and Galahad

...given it a try using "A1200 2MB Chip & 4MB Fast RAM" settings with a standard "WorkBench 3.1" .HDF. When playing the screen looks like the following:

I presume that's normal for this demo?

DamienD · 27 July 2016, 17:58

You guys probably know how much I like to tinker with things of late...

So I've created a bootable .ADF from the "TheBigEnd.lha" file that Galahad popped into the Zone!

In WinUAE you need to use an AGA configuration with "2MB Chip & 4MB Fast RAM" (or have those specs in your real Amiga)...

DamienD · 27 July 2016, 19:30

Sorry guys; home and tested the old file (now removed) in the above post...

Unfortunately the sound was messed up

Have worked out what the cause was, corrected this and also jazzed up the text on loading in my usual fashion:

New file attached

stainy · 28 July 2016, 15:25

Cheers Damian.. that should make things easier for a few!

DamienD · 28 July 2016, 15:34

Yup; that's the point of all these "HD install" --> "ADFs" packages that I create

Thank you and Galahad for sourcing the files for this in the first place

...and hopefully you'll have some more good news soon when Craig gets him new Amiga and access to all old files sorted.

stainy · 29 July 2016, 00:05

Oh by the way.. the game that he has is an AGA version of Microprose Soccer..

This isn`t anything to do with ' a couple of disks he needs to find out what`s on them'

Nice

...I'm sure I've mentioned this before somewhere but "football" games are not really my thing.

Saying that; this title used to be one of my favourites in this genre on the C64

With emphasis on "few". Who the hell has an accelerator but no hard drive?

Micro Soccer AGA?! Like OCS fix for AGA or real real AGA improved version?
It's my fav soccer game since the days of C64.

Yeah exactly stainy

@idrougge; how "the hell" is it that you have the impression an accelerator is needed to play this game?

...I wouldn't even know how to add one in WinUAE let alone a real Amiga

@stainy: don't worry about idrougge's comments in relation to this. If you've seen / read any of my "HD install" --> "ADFs" threads he's always very negative and quick to point out how useless these are. I've learnt just to ignore his comment instead of getting wound up about it...

At the end of the day; what idrougge fails to realise is as follows:

... Not everyone has a hard drive, be it in a real Amiga or emulated environment (or know how to set one up / create assigns / blah, blah, blah).
... Even if people do know how to do the above; some just prefer disk images because it's quick and easy (as weird a concept as it may seem to you idrougge).
... These packages allow people without expert Amiga knowledge, GameBase Amiga users and other real Amiga users with Gotek USB hardware (and no hard drives) to be able to play these "HD only games" (yes, at the cost of RAM).

Anyway, each to their own really; I'm all about choice and making things easy for people who only know how to / can run disk images

stainy · 30 July 2016, 23:10

Well I`m glad you take the time to do these. What else have you done that could make my emulated life easier?
