Motivation

WHDLoad (Q7950128), is according to the English Wikipedia, « a software package for the Amiga platform to make installation of software to a hard disk easier, for such things as demos or games ». Given its use, I see this database in the same family as other emulator compatibility databases (like DOSBox Compatibility database (Q116483768)). It currently tracks 2598 games, and the Mix‘n‘match catalogue already has 200+ matches. It also consistently links to Hall of Light ID (P4671) and Lemon Amiga ID (P4846).

(The database also tracks 864 demos, for example Juggler (Q113518288)→EricGraham_JugglerDemo, for which we might want to consider its own ID property)

•  Support. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 04:49, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support I think it is more comparable to Chocolatey Community package ID (P10766) or Homebrew formula name (P8443) Best Matthias M. (talk) 09:17, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

  Ha! I never thought of WHDLoad as a package manager, but yes it’s a good way to look at it :D Jean-Fred (talk) 10:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
