CDTV and game saving

[LukePanic]

Hi everybody,

I got a little "problem", maybe one of you can help me out:

Today I started playing Indiana Jones Lost Crusade on a CDTV. At some point I wanted to save the game and was expecting that I could do that using the attached disk drive. I tried several disks that I used with my A500 years ago, but the game did not even seem to try to save to disk. Is my floppy disk drive broken or does the game only save to CDTV memory card, which is obviously impossible to get?

Thanks for helping (at the moment I keep the CDTV powered on all the time),

best,
Luke

I dont have a cdtv but i thought they saved to either to floppy or a cdtv memory card ?

Someone else will confirm this?

If the game is on CD, and is a true CDTV version it should be modified to save to the memory card. If you are using a floppy version of the game I see no reason why it would not save to a floppy much like any other Amiga...

I am using the original CDTV CD version. Thanks for the info, but I am kinda lost now since I think it's impossible to get a memory card anywhere...

best,

God only knows, can barely just read my native tongue think the second one i listed has a make an offer, so try your luck, you never know.

They appear to be the only 2 memory cars listed on the enirety of the internet, ya woulod of thought there'd be more of these than cdtv's. Similar to my PS1 memory cards are more common than the console.

I meant that we can only provide direct links to Ebay items that are BIN - we can't link to best offers or auctions.

As such I'll take the liberty of removing the second link.
