Hello,

There's a list available on CPC Wiki  ;)
https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/ROM_List


[EDIT] Here are also in the archive a few dozen games that I have  8)

If a game is composed of several files (for example 1942A.ROM and 1942B.ROM / or 3DGRAND1.ROM and 3DGRAND2.ROM) it's appropriate to put the number of the highest rom, in a higher position.

For example 3DGRAN2.ROM in slot 11 and 3DGRAN1.ROM in slot 10.
Because when the Amstrad is initialized : the high roms are installed in descending order from rom 31 to rom 1.

Thank you. So one last question

How do i get these roms installed?  My DDI-6 can read .dsk files but i don't think i can just put a rom file onto a USB drive and load it from flashfloppy

Sorry I can't help you, because I don't have a DDI-6.

Ask the documentation from the person you bought it from, or maybe search on the Internet...

ROM's are for a ROM Board, if you have a device that reads DSK files, then you need DSK files and not the game converted to ROM.

Compared to the DDI5 the DDI6 now also acts as a ROM board.

I don't have a DDI6 myself but according to the website, the DDI6 is Megaflash compatible. Either ask the seller to provide additional documentation or check the doc here on the Wiki:
