Too much atm! It will start slowing next week, i aim to hit 50 at the current rate and then just on a per game basis.

Update to the current list, Cobe has kindly sent a couple of bits for me, the first is a CDXL intro for Populous II, so i have updated the download with the new version, the other will be added to the games line-up next week!

Andddd last 3 work perfect with winuae at my end

jotd · 17 July 2019, 23:42

now I don't think we can say "poor CDTV" anymore... Pretty much all OS-compilant 1MB games with files will work on CDTV with a minimum adaptation effort. There are probably a lot of them waiting.

Granted, it's rarely action games, as those are often using custom trackloader but it happens that some use DOS files and the OS (some games use DOS files but custom loaders: ex Cannon Fodder 2...). Thexder comes to mind (okay, it see it's been done). Also Led Storm, Flashback (there's a CD32 version but no CDTV), Nightshift.

Yeah happy to make these for CDTV owners who don’t own a disk drive etc

Yes it tends to be more pre 92 games, but the odd game like Bubble & Squeak pops up. Tried quite a number of games inc Flashback, just not able to get the running on a stock 1mb machine, will try the others you mention, i’m currently putting a compilation together, but some games like Elite 2 and Bubble & Squeak are so tight on memory they won’t load from the menu, i have tried a rad like on some of my cd32 packs but something is not working and its not even attempting it, is 1.3 capable of using rad?

Retro1234 · 18 July 2019, 09:57

RAD worked when I used FakeMem(fake slow mem) - but I think there was a better solution but I can't remember what it was.

If you could find something like JoyPress for kick 1.3 then you could add a menu - Hold Down Fire to start game - Reset - Fire=Game

That's prob fine on systems with different/more ram types, but a stock CDTV where memory is extremely limited i don't imagine it could.

I will try the setpatch as Toni mentioned there.

Retro1234 · 18 July 2019, 10:11

A JoyPress method would save the most memory because it would be the first line in a startup-sequence - good luck
