Rocket Ranger CD32? Impossible?
Has anybody managed to make Rocket Ranger work on a CD32? I´ve tried it very, very often but always failed. The best result so far was getting the blue 1.3 DOS screen, some loading ... but then the game hangs in a black Screen. I´ve tried several WHDLoad installs...no success....

Never played this game but looked intresting - thought id give it ago, seems strange no mouse control....
Anyways dont know if you got this working had a quick look - Try the ISO in the Zone Didnt use WHDload - Maybe runs to fast... Lots of Disc Access but Seems Ok. but no kickstart required |

I´ve given it a 1st try: It seems to run fine. Great work. I´ll test it "deeper" next weekend. Thank you very much so far!

Results after 3 hours of testing: Everything is fine. Great gameplay with CD32 pad (except of the code-wheel of course). Thank you very much!

Did you experience lots of OS Flashing through the intro?
I found the game to be unplayable because of that, I was using WHDLoad of course. If you still have the iso I wouldn't mind a shot. Last edited by Whitesnake; 26 March 2012 at 23:13. |

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but... Boo Boo, could you pretty please re-zone that ISO? Or give me a clue where to get it...
Thanks!! |

Never mind, I worked it out - interesting that this might be the one non-HD installable game that works from ADF files mounted with diskimage.device! (I must have tried about 5 others without any success).

CD32load could be up to the task, with possibly minimal disk loading. But would require kick1.3. Someone interested?

@TCD @Nobby_UK
Yes, that was the ISO I was looking for. In the end, I extracted it's contents and used XFS to load the ADFs and run the game on an unexpanded A500 from HDD The image uses Diskimage.device, which seems to be a 68020 thing only... So I use XFS instead and the game runs great on plain Amiga500. Instructions for loading Rocket Ranger with XFS: -copy xfsd to L: -copy devio to C -copy file.device and fd.device to devs: -copy mountlist.xfs to devs: -use this script for mounting the disks and launching the game: Code:
setenv env:file.device,0 DISK1.ADF mount file0: from devs:mountlist.xfs >nil: devio --reset file.device,0 >nil: setenv env:file.device,1 DISK2.ADF mount file1: from devs:mountlist.xfs >nil: devio --reset file.device,1 >nil: file0: RUN >NIL: RR ED sys:Codes Thanks guys!! @jotd I don't play Amiga OCS games on CD32, but I am sure some CD32 users would find that useful!
