Have fun with the game :-D

[A4000_Mad]

moto,

In case it helps, here is the full contents of my SuperStardust CD32 disc:-

The SND drawer in this screengrab is ANIM/SND




The SND drawer in this screengrab is CDDATA/SND and the RAW drawer is CDDATA/RAW




This screengrab shows T/RAW and T/SND





My SuperStardust CD32 disc is showing as 23.1MB in use and the Startup-Sequence reads:-

c:CD_DOUBLESPEED
c:FREEANIM
LOADER

Thanks A4000_Mad. That is consistent with what I've got on my copy. Thanks also to everyone else for suggestions.

I think the problem is that cdrw are less reflective and some older cd drives will just not play them.

Also sometimes burning images at too high speed canc ause problems with older systems. I know it takes longer but when burning images for older systems always try and use good quality CDRs and burn at x2 max

what image did you use? i have time to fiddle around too this weekend.

@ zyphoid

Did you particularly want an ISO image or would an LHA file be ok? The contents of the SuperStardust CD32 disc convert into a 16MB LHA file.



To fully test it I've just unpacked the LHA file to give a drawer called SSD, and then written the contents of the drawer to a CD-R with help from a great little MakeCD tutorial I found here :-D :-D :-D

I wanted to duplicate Moto's triumph, with the iso, but this will also work for now :-)
thanks!!

I can burn the ISO without problems. But I want to burn using the cue sheet so I can include the audio tracks. It's a shame the games weren't dumped as an ISO only with the audio tracks inside it.

I suppose a workaround would be to recreate the original CD. Does anyone know how to create a CD using the contents and boot sector of an ISO as track 1 (data) and MP3s/WAVs as the remaining tracks (audio)?

I have changed the audio tracks on the pc from mp3 to wav (using CDex), made myself a cue sheet with sega cue maker, using that cue sheet I burned the cd's. No problem, but it takes a long time to load a game, maybe I should use another type of cdr's. Can't burn the cd lower than 4x speed.
And, the Worms CD32 game demands a copy protection code, which is not delivered with it...

I just found out TDK cd-rs are the disks needed to burn the images on. Works like a treat now 8-)

@zyphoid
Sorry I didn't see your reply to this thread. I can't provide a link to the ISO which worked but PM me your email address if you want to know how to find it.

@A4000_Mad
LHA archiving the contents of the CD and then burning it to a CD won't boot on a CD32. You would have to have the CDTV boot sector file thing (whatever it actually is). The best way is to burn a known working ISO which already contains a working CD32 boot sector.


In the case of SSD, I think there were two problems. First of all the cue sheet was dodgy, which stopped it working. Then I tried a different cue sheet, but I switched to a CDRW, which didn't work. The fixed cue sheet with the original ISO from Dream17 might actually work, but I haven't tested it.
