MiSTer FPGA Amiga Minimig Core - Testing CD32 and CDTV games
46I have been working on some boot floppies that could get the MiSTer to run CDTV and CD32 games and have made a lot of progress that I am sharing in this video.
Software used:
Squirrel SCSI from HiSoft:
http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/squirrel
Used for running CDTV games. Seemed to work best with a 3.1 ROM, I am not sure if it was one for the Amiga 1200 or 500 though. I think it might have been an Amiga 500 3.1 ROM as I tried an Amiga 1200 3.1 ROM that did not work. Remember to change the CD0 file info as shown in the video to make it use the ISO image mounted to the primary slave.
SimCD32 should be possible to find with Google. Its on an Amiga Developer CD that I also show in the video. Here is a page where he had the same idea as me to use RequestFile to make it possible to select an ISO image as part of the bootdisk:

It also suggest using TUDE which helps with compatibility of some games.
Here is a free version of RequestFile:
http://aminet.net/package/util/batch/...
It also needs the asl.library which is part of Workbench. If you want some more though you could try to use this patch to update asl.library a bit further with some more features:
https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/...
Probably also works with the asl lib from AmigaOS3.9
Here is TUDE which can help with compatibility as the Italian page used:

And here are some of the files that I am certain not be be copyrighted that I used for my SimCD32 floppy boot disk:

The startupsequence and the folders for getting save games to work are there.
and a full files and folder list from my SimCD32 boot floppy:

Here is a guide to make a Kickrom 1.3 with SCSI patch for hard disk support:
