spanner · 01 August 2012, 21:42

Yes i see,I don't have this line in my startup.. "cd cd0:" so thats whats missing..

..thanks..

Got it working

I attach the files of my floppy. You only have to change in the s-s the address of your iso.

Edit: What emulator has the intro exactly like the CD32? I would like to copy it if it's possible.

You mean the kickstart animation?
If so, then WinUAE will show kickstart animation.

I dont like it because itt was a total rip-off but remeber that CD32 install kit by airsoft had an option to display the CD32 intro Might also run simon

Oh yeh, forgot about that. He released for free a few years back.
That would be another way to run them, Never got round to trying it properly.

Thanks both for your help.

Spanner have you got it working now?

Oh, I forgot. You have to press both buttons of the mice and disable your bootable partitions.

Or alter the boot priority of the secondary drive, then use early startup to select the one you want,

Just a question about games. Microcosm isn't so bad, and the intro is nice. What more CD32 only games or better conversions for it should I try?

AlienBreed Tower Assault, the acting in that makes me laugh,

.
Very long intro.

Its working now but the its taking about 22 seconds to read the data from the iso so the talking is getting stuck and its taking along time to load...any ideas why,my add buffers are set to 2030 thats what it says..

Here is a video of Microcosm and Simon the Sorcerer..

Watching your video first I thought you need an accelerator, but you don't.
I've just tried it with my Amitek ramboard, with 4mb and it works full speed.
I haven't made any change to the buffers or anything. In my Cf I'm using PFS3DS.

Perhaps it's your ram board, perhaps you need at least 4mb, dunno.

How does it work if you go to the early menu pressing both buttons of the mice and you disable your DH0?

spanner · 03 August 2012, 16:15

I tried it withouut DH0 and it still that same,someone else has the same problem at me on here,it one the first page I think.
I am going to try my real hard drive to see if that works better...I let you know..

Cant you tell me full machine spec and startup-sequence.
Also tell me how you set emu up. Did you use a floppy? or dump it all on your HDD and alter startup-sequence.

Can be accellerated / ram card problem. As my first A1200 setup, I originally tried this on was using CF.
CF HDD was FFS with buffers 30. I also only had 10MB's RAM.
It ran full speed.

spanner · 03 August 2012, 16:52

Its a A1200 with 2mb PCMCIA Card not accelerated with CF adapter 4gb CF card.

Im using Classic WB GAAE Version 3.1 using the floopy to boot but have tried with putting it in the startup by holding down the first mouse button and same problem.

spanner · 03 August 2012, 17:12

Just put my ram board in and its working ok now,well its abit better..

Were you running it without the ramboard? jeje

It runs ok with my floppy, doesn't it?

lordofchaos · 03 August 2012, 18:26

I just ran the floppy disk you made Retrofan , the iso now boots normally which is great however it runs far to slow, I also added the "Addbuffers DH2: 2000" command in the startup-sequence but the disk access remains to slow. Not sure what I'm missing here...My HD is a Compact Flash 4 gig card (sandisk). I should also mention I was running Simon The Sorcerer.

Are you using a ramboard or accelerator?

Yes I have a Apollo 68030 with 32MB fast

Although after a long wait I got to the start of the game and tried to use the save option, came up with error message, I'm guessing it couldn't work out where the CD32 save file thingy was...

Retrofan · 03 August 2012, 18:51

By now try another iso, like Microcosm and see. I really can't tell what the problem is.
