Amiga-Apps

[Seiya]

sorry, i wrong to write.
i forgot question mark

i'd like to know if there is a line to add to the script to use CDFS automount and unity generated by DTlite.
it's not an AmigaApps features.

i want use this script for a new GameBase Amiga CD

in these days i search to transform Amiga CD games in CD32 games to try to use my CD32-CDTV script. For now it seems very hard to find a good solution.

[.mad.]

i would need to know what works for you.
read this and let me know...

Upload a sample CD and the automount files you want it to work with.

[Seiya]

Amigaworld method is the best because you can use automount function of WinUAE.
However i'd like to use daemon-tool because choosing iso files don't work.

if you go to eab server in Amiga CD you can download a small cd and try to mount in daemon-tools and then check "CDFS automount" to see what i would like to use.

[Seiya]

if it's too complicated, are there some example of script to add CDFS automount function.
Maybe un example and i see to make some test

however i'd like to load Wb31 HDF or DIR and automount cd icon in workbench after mount it with daemon tools.

soon as you upload your working setup i will take a look.

i will need the workbench version you have working with the CD and CDFS files you are using.
the WinUAE config file with CD attached and working.

maybe this will help you?.

Code: Select all

; WinUAE.ini settings ; need to experiment with values
Set_ini_value(%emupath%\WinUAE.ini||WinUAE||QuickStartCDDrive||??)
Set_ini_value(%emupath%\WinUAE.ini||WinUAE||QuickStartCDType||??)

;Turn CDFS Automount on
	Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||win32.map_cd_drives||true)
;Attach CD Image
	Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||cdimage0||%gamepathfile%,delay)
Add_CLP(-f "%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae" -s)
Run_Emulator()

here you can dowload complete winuae that i can use to build this news database
i have included a iso to test.

config to test is "Masteriso".

[Seiya]

i tried with you code and it works.
for now it load from hdf dir wb31 from setting in gemus.

now the best solution it would be that for every cd gamebase load an hdf wb31 to have their personal hd space for installation or saving files

[Seiya]

however there is strange thing.

when i launch cd games, gamebase launch 2 winuae session.
one ot these load cd iso correctly but alo in DF1:, while the other session no.

[.mad.]

That's just an error in your script and config file.
-----
For the script to work you MUST use my edited amiga.uae file.
Not one created by the emulator.

Turned out i guessed correctly, the script above works minus the 3 winuae.ini lines.

i will test a few things and upload a sample tomorrow.

[.mad.]

Ok this works for me - tested with Doom CD.

http://www.datafilehost.com/d/32acc21a

requires

GEMUS
mode=AmigaCD
kickstart=v3.1
Default option attaches Workbench in folder "WB31CD".
The folder MUST exist on your drive for it to work.
or you can use GEMUS
Workbench=HDF
to attach "WB31CD.HDF" from scripts folder.

the Adventure CD you uploaded will not work on older kickstart
doom requires NEWER library files.
So i guess it has to be Workbench 3.1 and Kickstart 3.1 or higher for most CD's.
No doubt you will tell me if it's any different.

[Seiya]

it doesn't work.
CD is correctly loaded in WinUAE, but not mounted in WinUAE.

i made a change:

Code: Select all

but CDFS automount is disabled

in amiga.uae CDFS automont is always off
i tried to manually change in "true", but when i launch gamebase it become "false"

Code: Select all

win32.map_cd_drives=false

[.mad.]

if you read the script 1st line you will see CDFS is switched ON.
if GEMUS mode <> AmigaCD it will be switched off.
As it is not needed for other Amiga modes CDTV, CD32, ADF, HDF.

you can see it is swiched off after the run_emulator()
before the next mode is checked.
Else if key_mode CONTAINS(HDF)

have you got a copy of "wb31.hdf" renamed to "wb31cd.hdf" in your scripts folder?.
C:\GameBase\Amiga\Scripts\wb31cd.hdf
or have workbench 3.1 (files) in a folder "WB31CD" in the root of the gamebase folder.
C:\GameBase\Amiga\wb31cd\

GEMUS
mode=amigacd
workbench=hdf

daemons is NOT needed it works perfectly without it.
Just like CD32 and CDTV.

no idea why it doesn't work for you.

Big Red Adv needs this in GEMUS
mode=amigacd
kickstart=v3.1
workbench=hdf
chipmem_size=2

Amiga Doom needs this in GEMUS
mode=amigacd
kickstart=v3.1
workbench=hdf
chipmem_size=4
fastmem_size=8

[Seiya]

have you got a copy of "wb31.hdf" renamed to "wb31cd.hdf" in your scripts folder?.
C:\GameBase\Amiga\Scripts\wb31cd.hdf
or have workbench 3.1 (files) in a folder "WB31CD" in the root of the gamebase folder.
C:\GameBase\Amiga\wb31cd\

yes

GEMUS
mode=amigacd
workbench=hdf

daemons is NOT needed it works perfectly without it.
Just like CD32 and CDTV.

no idea why it doesn't work for you.

boh..
however i must use daemon now, so i have to made some change in the script at this point.
i tried something but i have errors in the script

[Seiya]

ok now it works with daemon.
i made some change on script.

[andreas2]

The Amiga 500 1.3 didn't have a HD. And booted workbench from a floppy.
So script sets a default 3.1 kickstart when loading a HDF file.
Machine A1200 with HD.

Wait...I've just remembered something.
At least in a countless number of past WinUAE versions, for copywrite sake, the file 'FastFileSystem' had to be extracted from a WB 1.3 and copied to %BOOTROMS% directory. Otherwise, WB 1.3 couldn't be booted off an HDF.

Dunno whether this is still the case, but it might...
So maybe that's what the script can't cover (yet).
