Answers it - yeah my old Gamebase (1.6) just loaded them up automatically

No problemo

Ok - this may be easy for you pal

CD32 remains a no hanging on boot screen

However when this is added to the bottom of the Gamebase (trial and error)

Add_CLP(-f "%dbpath%\Scripts\HDF.uae")
Run_Emulator()

It boots - but it auto starts 2 x WinUAE, one holds the boot screen, but when the above is added, the 2nd WinUAE boots CD32 and game starts???

2 x WinUAE also boot when try to load an HDF games (makes sense as that script is for HDF)

Unsure why that is making the CD32 work - even though the script that is added relates to a HDF?

I pressed F12 on both and configurations appears to be exactly the same

found possible solution in script!
check last 4 lines in CD32 section.
now attaches CD via config rather than command-line (same way as CDTV).

Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\CD32.uae||cdimage0||%gamepathfile%,delay)
Add_CLP(-f "%dbpath%\Scripts\CD32.uae" -s)

Run_Emulator()
End If


just thought!
supported CD32 filetypes are (ISO||BIN||CUE)

are you linking .BIN instead of .CUE.
Rule is, if it has a CUE file.
link that as the runnable game file.

you know it works, as it does when you run the emulator twice.
so it's something simple.

Hey man

Still hanging - tried Trivial Pursuits CD32 for example

Only has an ISO and a CUE file - tried attaching both with mode=cd32 - but hangs on logo

Did manage to get a config where the game boots - thought could just save this as CD32 and put in Scripts folder and would work but just goes to the WinUAE config screen

To be fair fella - not a game changer the CD32 not running - HDF was the main one I wanted and absolutely more than chuffed with the help given.

Always appreciated

Maybe get to game now!

Update

Got Trivial Pursuit working by ticking NTSC in chipset

Added this to the Amiga.txt script:

If key_NTSC CONTAINS(true||false)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\CD32.uae||ntsc||%ntsc_value%)
Else
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\CD32.uae||ntsc||false)
End If

Then in the game GEMUS added:

ntsc=true

Boom - works!

Lie down!

Thanks again man!
