SiriusVI Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone, Redump lists rom sets for Commodore Amiga CD32, Commodore Amiga CD & Commodore Amiga CDTV. Launchbox has default platforms for Commodore Amiga CD32 & Commodore Amiga CDTV, but not Commodore Amiga CD. So I wonder which platform I should use for scraping Commodore Amiga CD. Should I use the regular Commodore Amiga Computer Platform or the Commodore Amiga CD32 Platform? I'm not really sure what Commodore Amiga CD is supposed to be anyway. I tried finding info about it online, but I didn't find anything useful. Edited January 6, 2021 by SiriusVI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusVI Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 After having a look at the LaunchBox game database, it seems that Amiga CD should be scraped as "Amiga", not "Amiga CD32". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to have one on my A4000/030. Probably the list of Amiga CD games are later games that were not Amiga CD32 compatible but required a higher-end Amiga Computer with a CD-ROM drive. And yes, they should be found/put under "Commodore Amiga", I've added a few CD-only games there myself. Originally Amiga computers came with a 3.5-inch floppy disk/diskette drive before HD's and CDs. The Amiga CD32 is basically a console version of the Amiga 1200 that came with a CD drive by default and it's own Akiko Chip and had it's own CD(32)-based games.

I imagined it being like that but didn't find any clear confirmation online. It's clear to me now. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
