Is there a way to put amiga games onto the cd32?

10 June 2009, 04:54

Hey all i have been trying to get information on this for days on the net. Is there an easy way to get amiga adf. files onto the amiga cd32? I also have a paravision sx-1 which i just recently aquired. There has got to be a way where i can just transfer them onto disk or something but no matter how many people i ask no one has any idea. I just want to play some games, so if there is another way i can do that, please let me know.

If someone out there can help me i would really appreciate it. Thanks heaps

I also oppolagize for putting this in the wrong section.

Not sure about what you mean by "transfer them onto disk".

- If you want some games on CD, other than the official releases, for instance, Heavy Stylus has done some conversions so that games can be run directly from CDs:

- If you mean you want to use them from a hard drive connected to the SX-1, you should take a look at whdload.

- Or do you mean you would like to write some adfs onto floppy disk so that you can use them with a floppy disk drive connected to the SX-1?

"Or do you mean you would like to write some adfs onto floppy disk so that you can use them with a floppy disk drive connected to the SX-1?"

Thats the one, but thank you for your help already.

I have around 18,000 amiga files/games and was just wondering how to get them either onto a cd that the cd32 will read or floppies.

Certainly ADF images

That's why he has written 'amiga files/games'.

Thanks mate, it looks interesting but it also looks overly techo. Is there an Easy way to get the files onto a compilation to play on the cd32. Is there a wizard or something? Is it just click and burn?

Short answer : No. This toolkit is already an 'easy' way to do it.

Is there an executable? I have no idea how to use the tools? Did i even download the right thing? Can someone send me a link please to the exact thing to download.

Thank you everyone i am a bit of a noob.

TCD · 10 June 2009, 10:55

The file you would need is on the EAB file server (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633) in the folder 'Apps/new apps' named 'AMIGA CD32 Games Compilation Toolkit 1.1.zip'. The included manual should get you started.

10 June 2009, 12:22

I click on the link and it asks me for a username and password. I tried mine multiple times. Do i have to get a different password to download it?

I am sorry guys i am suffering from swine flue at the moment and i am so scatter brain. I feel so dumb

TCD · 10 June 2009, 14:19

No problem

Might be a good idea to wait with the CD32 business a bit then. Get well soon!

Ok guys i am feeling better now and played around with thath complilation thing its realling not what i am looking for unless i can somehow transfer that to a cd and play it on my amiga cd32. Does anyone know just how to get an amiga game on a disk from a pc so i can play it on my paravision?

lilalurl · 12 June 2009, 05:49

Hum, sorry I kind of forget this thread.

Check this page of the wiki for various guides for transfers:
http://wiki.abime.net/amiga:file_transfer

More precisely, I think these ones are what would help you most:
http://ale.emuunlim.com/guides/file-transfer.shtml
http://ale.emuunlim.com/guides/adf-todisk.shtml
http://fellow.abime.net/old_version/.../transfer.html

It should give you enough information on how to transfer adf back to the amiga (the CD32 + SX-1 in your case, unless you have another amiga at hand) and then write the adf back to disk.
As mentioned in the guides, you will probably need to use LHA to compress the adf files for the transfer.

Be warned though, it will take some time to do these transfers back to amiga floppies directly readable by the SX-1 and as far as I know, there is no way to do this in a batch.

12 June 2009, 08:25

I cant seem to find a working copy of LHA anywhere. Plus is there a way to make a complition cd of amiga games that you can play on the cd32?

Have a look here : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=38897 and maybe PM Heavy Stylus about that.
