Hi guys,

I recently bought a CPS3 system with included Darksoft multi and CDROM/Darksoft disc. All works fine.

As a backup for the CDROM drive failing in the future, I bought a SCSISD from the Amiga Store (http://amigakit.amiga.store/product_info.php?products_id=1314). Copied the CD onto a FAT32-formatted 32GB Sandisk SD card, and connected the SCSISD board in place of the CDROM drive. On booting up I then got the error message: "You have inserted an invalid CD-ROM" (see photo).

What can I do to fix this?

Many thanks guys!

Did you follow these instructions when making the SD card? Make sure you upgrade with the latest v6 firmware and not the one linked in these instructions.

I believe you need to unzip the downloaded file to get the .iso FILE



LAUNCH HD RAW COPY TOOL -> FILE -> SELECT THE .ISO FILE

SELECT DESTINATION TO COPY TO.

CLICK START BUTTON

HD RAW COPY TOOL WILL START TO COPY THE ISO FILE TO THE SD CARD

AFTER THE COPY IS DONE, YOU CANNOT VIEW THE CONTENT OF THE SD CARD. WINDOWS WILL SHOW A ERROR MESSAGE IF YOU CLICK ON THE SD CARD

Thanks djsheep. Full SD card prep then. Will do.

Naively, I thought I could just copy over the CD, heh.
 
You gotta change some settings on the actual SCSI2SD device itself so it knows how to read the SD card as an emulated drive. See how you go and chirp back in if it works.
 
I've just completed this. Currently rewriting a game to test, but it looks fine.

A huge thank you to djsheep for your clear, detailed instructions!

I'm going to stop using the CDROM for now even though it works.
