Description
Summary
Add support for identifying Atari Jaguar CD games.
Background
The Atari Jaguar CD (1995) was a CD add-on for the Atari Jaguar. It uses standard CDs with a specific boot header format.
Technical Details
- Media type: Standard CD
- Filesystem: Custom (not standard ISO 9660)
- Detection signatures:
- "ATRI" signature at specific offset in boot header
- Boot header contains some metadata
- Game library: ~13 commercial releases (very limited)
Proposed ID Method
- Detect "ATRI" signature in boot sector
- Parse boot header for game metadata
- Use header CRC/hash for unique identification
Implementation Notes
- Small game library (~13 games) simplifies database
- "ATRI" signature provides reliable detection
- Limited metadata in boot header
- May need custom sector reading (non-ISO9660)
Compatibility
- ✅ Readable by standard CD/DVD drives
- Low priority due to very small game library
- Moderate implementation effort (custom boot header parsing)
Challenges
- Very small game library (may not justify implementation effort)
- Limited documentation
- Custom disc format (not ISO 9660)
