Openlibrary: Amstrad CPC is missing from the Archive Library
Emularity supports Amstrad CPC6128/CPC464 emulation it and it's working flawessly in any browser, so I would like to contribute the full Amstrad CPC archive since its legit to share. But seems the Amstrad metatags aren't allowed yet.
DSK images from Amstrad cpc6128 / cpc464 are much like ZX Spectrum.
Any clue how to make them to work? They aren't already listed

Thanks and congratulations <3

Hi @nonom thanks for finding Open Library! Technically this is not the right place for archive.org upload questions (which I think is what you are asking), but I'm trying to find out who to pass this on to get you an answer. Hang tight, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks horn, I tested with https://archive.org/details/amstrad_abadia_del_crimen_64 buy maybe the Emulator value could be wrong.
Sorry if not is the right place. Got the point. And thanks again for your effort.

@nonom I have reached out to @textfiles, but I also was cheeky and guessed a change to your item, which I think solves the problem, at least it runs for me, but the screen resolution looks off. There may be further metadata settings for that. but emulator should be cpc6128 which I got from https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Driver:Amstrad
You should be able to set emulator to cpc6128 for anything you upload. It probably wasn't provided as an option if these are the first items of that type. Hope that helps, I think you should be good to keep uploading and if there are any other issues they can be cleared up later.
Apologies to others for continuing being off-topic ;) -- in general this sort of qn should go to [email protected] , but I happened to be interested, and saw a way to help. Open Library is specifically books related, although any readable book data are stored on archive.org exactly in the same way the emulator/software items are.
Closing the issue as done / off-topic, but if you reply here, I'll see. Cheers!
