CD-ROM file systems in WinUAE?

th4t1guy · 27 October 2003, 04:47

Is there a way to get multiple filesystem support in WinUAE like on a real Amiga? Like when you insert a cd, you get separate icons for ISO, Mac, and Audio cds. As far as I can tell, it seems WinUAE just goes through windows for access to the CD-ROM.

You need to check the uaescsi.device option on the WinUAE configuration and have a CD filesystem installed (such as AmiCDFS). I don't have any Mac CDs, but Audio and data work great.

I've recently installed AmiCDFS on my OS3.9 hard drive (emulated) and it works ok apart from one thing. I'm unable to get any CD Audio playback from anything.

I've tried PlayCD which doesn't work. Although I'm aware of the problems with this. I've tried the AmiCDFS music player and that doesn't work.

I've tried games which have audio tracks such as Bubble Heroes. I can select uaescsi.device and the unit 0 which is correct as I can read the CD data. The game then brings up a requester saying I have selected the wrong unit number. Strange.

I've also tried Payback which nearly works. I can set it to uaescsi.device and unit 0 which seems fine. When I'm actually in the game the cd is played but no music is heard.

Anyone got any ideas???
