CDTV/CD32 discs have an autoboot/autoexe file located at:
X:\S\STARTUP-SEQUENCE
the STARTUP-SEQUENCE file has no extension.
Both CDTV and CD32 discs have this to auto-boot into the program when inserted.
This will result in the false detection of CD32 discs as CDTV, at the moment there is no known way to further detect this accurately.
On Redump.org, CDTV compatibility takes priority over CD32 compatibility for CDTV/CD32 "hybrid" discs.
