I have just bought a second hand cdtv and I want to build up some on it. So I am looking for following:

1. CD caddy ---- Found
2. Keyboard
3. Mouse
4. Gaming software

Does it play cd32 or normal amiga games btw, if I burn CDs?

Hi, as almost all of the CD32 games are based on the AGA chipset, no (I don't know if a non-AGA CD32 game can run on CDTV either). But the other way around is working (playing CDTV games on a CD32 console). If you're gonna burn CD-R, then try to burn it with the lowest burn speed possible for better compatibility. Just burning a normal floppy game to a CD-R won't work out of the box, but if you find CDTV-specific titles to burn, then you'll not have problem with that I guess. Never tried a copied game, all of them I have are originals. On the other hand, if you can get an external floppy drive and plug it on the CDTV, you can boot normally from the floppies as you do with normal Amigas. Just remember, CDTV is nothing more than an A500 with a built-in CD-ROM drive.
