 Any game that run on the CDTV are developed to run on HDs.
 The only problem is that games are devolped with the 512k limit and
 leveing the system on take memory (more or less) and more for your
 HD device... And environment to instable!
 Untill someone try to market a game they wont know how tuff it is to
 get money back on the develpment.
 I curently port a game to the CDTV from a 3 disk ALL amiga game.
 Even if their is no disk protection the disk version can be HD
 only if the virtual memory was removed and use an extra 512K.
 In that case 2 version would be needed for floppy/HD users, something
 MANY compagnie cant afford.
 I think people overlooked the developement problem.
 Do you think software compagnie dont make Amiga HD instalable games
 because they can make live with it?
 If the amiga market was A3000 the develment stantard would be diferent.
 IBM give reseon to make extra code to work on all diferent PC version.
