Comment:

 Thank you for the report. Both the detection and Mass Add are working as
 intended here.

 The LSL3 detection entries are identical for both versions. Unfortunately,
 the only file that's different is RESOURCE.001 but the difference occurs
 after the first 5,000 bytes (which is what gets md5summed) and the file
 size is still the same. I believe that difference is just the text for the
 Atari ST credits. So they're effectively identical and choosing the
 platform is up to you. I believe the difference from the platform
 selection in LSL3 is music. (I just briefly tested it and that seems to be
 the case)

 Mass Add intentionally adds all variants when it doesn't know what to do;
 the idea is that it can do its work unattended and you can remove ones you
 don't want afterwards:


 {{{
 // Just add all detected games / game variants. If we get more than one,
 // that either means the directory contains multiple games, or the
 detector
 // could not fully determine which game variant it was seeing. In either
 // case, let the user choose which entries he wants to keep.
 }}}

 I had wondered if that was intentional too.
