VERY ACCURATE ASSESMENT - nice Job. I worked in a computer store selling Amigas components and software (as well as C64/128's and PC Clones). We always tried to steer new computer buyers towards the Amiga. I wanted an A1000 when it came out, but couldn't afford one. I was ecstatic when the A500 came out and used it until I bought my A1200 in 1992, which I quickly accelerated with a GVP 50Mhz, 8 MB ram, 80 MG internal HD. I ran a recording studio off of that A1200 until 1996 - long after Commodore went out of business. I regret ever selling the A1200.

Was using my 1200 with Emu68 and caffeineos and a plipbox fine. Updated my Emu68 by copying over the files to my sdcard from the latest emu68pistorm32lite and now my machine won't boot. I get the Emu68 logo when I turn the machine on but nothing else. I got to thinking it might be the config.txt file and tried commenting out the kick.rom file because I'm using actual 3.2 roms. Can anyone help? thanks in advance.

Much as I agree with you on a lot of your points, Doug, there's just one itsy-bitsy teeny-tiny ever-so-important detail: That Just Makes Sense (TM). Especially in these days, companies aren't really for doing what makes the most sense and can generate that long-term revenue. It's all about maximizing what can be earned NOW. Unrelated, what do you suggest for additional upgrades to a 1200 running a Blizzard 1230-IV accelerator (no BSCSI2 addon)? I know I at least need to get a 32GB CF to replace the 4GB I have for now, but am not sure what else I'd need. Especially since I want to display AGA/ECS-compatible images as a background.

I can see that as for photos, HAM is very beautiful for that purpose. ImageFX looks amazing to use. Although, I use GIMP through AmiCygnix. Works the same way as ImageFX, except GIMP doesn't offer HAM modes, AFAIK. Thanks for sharing this video, my friend. Keep up the excellent work 🥰 ❤️ 🙏

I do get that for sure - but the general configuration is the same. With Genesis you generally have to tell it which device to use (wifipi.device), and since Genesis does not always work very well with DHCP, you sometimes have to set up your address statically. I probably should do a video on the setup of the various TCP/IP stacks one day. Roadshow is far and away the best, especially since it is still available and supported, and the only one that can reliably use DHCP

The CDTV does have two awesome examples of what might have been. Defender of the Crown CDTV with its spoken narrative and Xenon II megablast with Colin the shopkeeper and the soundtrack are excellent examples of ‘multimedia’. If just they could have added more gameplay into DOFTC and improved the hitbox detection in Xenon II. Perhaps this could be retrospectively improved?

The price shocked a lot of us back in the early 90's... But if you look back just buying a CD-ROM for a PC could set you back $500. It was all so new then too - software publishers just did not know how to take advantage of that space and power. Not sure if they do even today!

Two possibilities on the RAM expansion issue: 1. You had a bad connection (it happens) 2. The new ROMs and/or Workbench needed to configure for the upgrade card "on installation" and thus didn't agree with having it installed already. Number 2 is one that a lot of auto-detect systems suffer, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. p.s. might be fun to upgrade that video RAM to 2MB if you can find a way. Also, seeing if you can wire in RGB output and program in the appropiate scanlines and output gamma for ATSC video. As a note, you can create a lateral extender for the IDE header that will offset it horizontally and lower it.
@10MARC
@10MARC 24 күн бұрын
I am leaning a bit towards the underused expansion port just passing signals from the 68000 socket, and when a 68030 is introduced maybe the wrong data is passed. It continues to work great when I just have the 68000 installed.

Maybe the reason that works only with "real" rca outputs is because it wants a "line level" output (usualy 2.0Vrms). Headphone outputs have much higher power, because they are designed to drive headphones. You can try an adapter from a real cd player to a male 3.5 mm jack, and then with a female 3.5 mm back to the rca of the amiga. It should work fine. Anyway, great video as always! Keep up the good work!

(You know that there were those, like Amiga Scientific). Anyway, I even corresponded with the designer. I gathered all the components, including case, etched my own circuit board, and then for some reason never got around to building the audio digitizer! Yes, I'm an idiot, but I was a busy guy.

Did a thing about a year ago where I recorded some speech and said I would modify it. 15-20 mins later I did the usual cut the voice up and changed pitch ect and played that impressed but not that impressed. But as they walked away I played a quick DnB track I created (most of the time was spent doing that) using their voice totally, stopped them in their tracks mind blown (the track sucked BTW I'm no musician) I really need to get Imagine out and do an animation with a dinosaur singing to a track, I lost all my work years ago. lol
