Getting Amiga Quake (Clickboom) to recognise CD ROM Drive

CU_AMiGA · 27 June 2010, 21:39

Hi

I am using the Clickbooms version of Quake and i cant seem to get it to recognise my CR ROM drive. I use the ASIM CD filesystem software. I remember when i had used the CD filesystem software with AmigaOS 3.5/3.9/IDEFIX'97 that Quake seemed to recognise them automatically but even when i try to configure Quake to use ASIM it doesnt seem to work. Where am i going wrong?!

Regards

@CU AMiGA

Good to see you still posting around here =D

I have the same ClickBoom Quake CD, but I use AmiCDFS240 works like a charm sir!

hhhmm thanks for the reply. 2 questions:

1) is this cd rom software better than asim?
2) i am a little nervous about uninstalling old cd software and installing a new one. where/how would i go about this!

regards

AsimCDFS is far superior to AmiCDFS.

CU_AMiGA · 28 June 2010, 17:31

hi thomas. thanks for your reply!

yeah i think thats why i installed it in the first place (i think!). anywho, do you have a solution to the original problem?

thomas · 28 June 2010, 17:50

I am not sure what Quake should recognise the CD drive for. AFAIK all files are copied to HDD during installation.

CU_AMiGA · 28 June 2010, 18:05

is there anything i can do to get it recognised? other games recognise it ok and even another quake engine seems to recognise it ok.

thomas · 28 June 2010, 19:37

What do you mean by recognise? How do you know that Quake recognises the CD or not? What should it do, what doesn't it do?

CU_AMiGA · 28 June 2010, 19:39

play cd tracks!

One thing to try is make a copy of one of the project icons (not main) like q-lan, and edit it to read something like "Quake -cddevice scsi.device -cdunit 2"

Ths even works in winuae, but youll likely need the analogue audio between cdrom and snd card connected.

CU_AMiGA · 28 June 2010, 21:18

i think i may ve tried that but no luck. i will try again. cd rom drive is connected to the cd input on the amiga 4000 motherboard!

Hiyas Tomas,

might I ask, how is AsimCDFS superior to AmiCDFS240(060) and is it is it worth upgrading?

I am currently using AmiCDFS240 in conjunction with my A4000 Native IDE (using the latest scsi.device) but will eventually move the Optical Drive to the CS-SCSI II

AsimCDFS can read Joliet CDs. It allows easy access to audio tracks because it displays them as AIFF files. It comes with a CD32 emulator. It comes with an atapi driver (for Kick 3.1 without upgraded scsi.device). I am sure there is more to mention.

yo! i tried that (i think i done that before too) but no luck. it seems to setup the cd drive fine but for some reason it doesnt recognise the cd inserted (it is!). yet when i try frank willies quake68k it recoignises the cd drive just fine. but i dont use this version cos it doesnt recognise the cd32 joypad like the clickbooms one does! lol

CU_AMiGA · 29 June 2010, 15:16

hhhmmm wot is better then out of AsimCDFS and IDEFIX'97?

Mad-Matt · 29 June 2010, 17:00

If cachedfs is the one that allows you to do what you want (play cd audio from games), then that is the better of the two for you. Apart from being able to mount audio tracks as files to rip, theres probably nothing in asimcdfs that makes it any better or worse then any other cdfs. I think MasterISO required asimcdfs, but thats crap compared to makecd anyway.

Edit: Only cdfs id avoid is AllegroCdfs. That thing used to reset the amiga on pretty much any cd that was left in the drive when wb opened.

CU_AMiGA · 29 June 2010, 17:39

have you got any other ideas how to either a) get clickboom quake to recognise cd rom drive or b) get frank willies quake to recognise my cd32 controller?! lol

Mad-Matt · 29 June 2010, 18:23

see if you can set asimcdfs to leave cd audio as tracks or dissable/enable directscsi. May or may not help. for cd32 pad, on the quake console try setting the Joy_force setting in the config file from AUTOSENSE to GAMECTRL. Maybe starting quake with -nomouse will help too.

CU_AMiGA · 29 June 2010, 19:15

on the quake68k thingy i was looking at that but wasnt sure how to change it from autosense to gamectrl!

sun68 · 01 July 2010, 23:37

Hmm, Quake by ClickBoom is ever Run from A1200 with all Configs ever.
