I've spent about two days watching hours and hours of your videos, I can't comment on them all, so this one will have to do. Thank you for all that you do, long may it continue!

@paulspydar 6 лет назад

I still own my cd32 & a bunch of games, its been under the bed gathering dust for years

@RdandTrk1 6 лет назад

Your “Trash to Treasure” content is awesome.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Thank you Sir, long may it continue as I have a lot in the queue for the T2T treatment

@papaquonis 6 лет назад

My big brother had the Amiga CDTV, which he sold because he didn't use it much. He then later on decided to buy the CD32 instead and proceeded to not use that one either. Meanwhile, my own Amiga 500 saw plenty of use with all the readily available (mostly pirated) games.

@Daz555Daz 2 года назад

I love that people donate gems like this to the channel but I'm equally astonished!

@gamesyouloved 6 лет назад

Can't believe we have not subbed earlier - what a cracking channel!

@CompactedEgg 6 лет назад

Keep the Amiga stuff coming! Brilliant to watch and close to my heart.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

CompactedEgg part 2 filming wrapped up today so it won't be long 🖒

@CompactedEgg 6 лет назад

Thank you! Your videos are very informative and so relaxing to watch! You have gave me a great incentive to get my collection (A500, A500+, A600, A1200... the list goes on..) back from the dark cupboards they sadly sit in and get them up and running to what they were made for!

@RetroKrazy 6 лет назад

I was lucky enough to pick up a French CD32 a few years back and haven't played with it yet. This is making me want to break it out now!

@99nerka 6 лет назад

Thanks for linking to that Cannon Fodder remix. "What are your CD32 memories, good or bad?" I remember hearing about it quite late, when my Amiga 600 was past its prime... aka post Doom years.

@tqft 3 года назад

That opening music..... NOSTALGIA! My heart 💓

@TheGuruMeditation 6 лет назад

Whoo-hoo! Another Amiga lives thanks to the awesome RMC! Top notch video, top notch job with this beautiful machine. Now you need Time Gal, Road Avenger, and the entire AmigaJay collection! Long live The Cave!

@LieutLaww 6 лет назад

I remember buying a CD32 and getting one of the Ultra Rare FMV expansions for it, at the time there were very few of them (the FMV addon)that had been shipped into the UK it came with Star Trek 6 I believe at the time.

@Cpt.Zer0 5 лет назад

I did that as well. But i can not remember what i did it with :( . Drank a lot those days, so maybe i sold it?

@amigaamigo5307 5 лет назад

Still have mine I got black rain with it.

@onedeadsaint 6 лет назад

5:23 ahhh! so good! love that cheeky little edit!

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Thanks I'm glad the little touches are appreciated

@onedeadsaint 6 лет назад

RetroManCave wanted to comment and let you know I noticed and liked it! I know small things tend to get overlooked so I like to show appreciation! 😀👍

@maarkaus48 6 лет назад

I wanted one so bad. I saw them in the store and was drooling. I still have my old amiga's from back in the day. Even the boxes...

@robinlovell1617 5 лет назад

You may already know this but CD32 was used as the multimedia platform for the London Underground museum tube train experience, some years ago.

@Crashedfiesta 6 лет назад

Fun fact. One of the voices on the Liberation intro (Trill) was Neil Morrissey from 'Boon' - remember that? - and later 'Men Behaving Badly'.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Oh blimey so it's Bob the Builder then! I did not know that thank you!

@dapplebaumer 6 лет назад

Your trash to treasure videos are amazing. Every time I go on RU-vid your channel is the first one I look at for content.

@theneroliveira 6 лет назад

Very nice! looking forward for the next episodes in this series

@PX125E 5 лет назад

My time as a teenager was playing games and thinking of Siouxsie.

@R0n8urgundy 6 лет назад

Remember when I was a kid Commodore were everywhere, all my mates had them while I had a good old Spectrum. I threw a world class wobbler cos I didn’t get an Amiga for Christmas not realising how much overtime my dad had to put in just to get me the Speccy but once I stopped being a little $h1t I learned to love my trusty 128k.

@aaldrich1982 6 лет назад

ALICE? ALICE? WHO THE IS ALICE?

@MartinKidd 6 лет назад

Very nice video, it's a system I have never seen much of in the past so looking forward to seeing what you can do with it!

@ProjectGeek1 6 лет назад

Man I love this. One chip for every task needed. Such a different time.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Thank you for watching I hope we can get this old girl up and working. What are your CD32 memories, good or bad? Special thanks to GadgetUK164 for providing a laser, be sure to check out his channel for some great content. One correction I say "adapter" instead of "architecture" for AGA. Let's all pretend that didn't happen. Neil - RMC

@Crashedfiesta 6 лет назад

RetroManCave My worst memory is leaving my CD32 at the rubbish tip (along with my A1200 with 030 accelerator). Biggest. Mistake. Ever.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Oh good lord that made me cringe

@donpalmera 6 лет назад

>Biggest. Mistake. Ever. I left a BlizzardVision (Graphics card for the A1200 + BlizzardPPC) in a pile of junk when I moved out of my parents.. Working one of those is worth a few hundred quid now. :(

@JamesMaszMuzak 6 лет назад

Would love to see an additional video (after the restoration) of it getting the expansion treatment turning it into a full-fledged Amiga 1200 clone. ;)

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Original and modern upgrades are very much a part of the T2T treatment so we may see that in part 3. I'm trying to obtain a Terrible Fire upgrade for it currently but an original SX expansion would be fun

@retrobsolete7491 6 лет назад

Nice work as usual. This part made me chuckle from 9:44 to at 9:57 "Bless you, my CD32!"

@cerveraoliver 6 лет назад

Spellbound from Siouxsie And The Banshees? Small fun fact: maybe you didn't know, but Spellbound is also a song from AC/DC, contained in the 1981 album "For those about to Rock". Both songs got released in the same year. Great video by the way!

@TheRetroShed 6 лет назад

Ah we love this machine and recently picked one up with a bunch of games for a very reasonable price. Just brilliant! Great vid. ;)

@NLDXBOX 6 лет назад

Always so happy and then sad when the new episode is over I can watch your video's forever. I owned a new one as a kid in 1993 working my ass off in my father's company to earn money and finally, when my vacation was over I got my self a brand new CD32 including an SX32 mk1 turning my CD32 in an A1200. I wish I had a FMV addon too. I saw one running in the shop and it blew my mind. Wish I had never sold it.

@sw8296 6 лет назад

That Cannon Fodder music is spot on for the death of Commodore.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

That's a pretty awesome cover which you can listen to over here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0QI--UHPM5s.html

@ollieb9875 6 лет назад

I needed this! Thank you1!!! oneoneoneeleven edit .. wat? They couldn't keep Jools alive for the vid! nuuuuuu =)) Hecking Pedro.

@amigaamigo5307 5 лет назад

War so much fun. The fmv cart had a full motion video intro

@MindFlareRetro 6 лет назад

A great start to this series. A CD32 and an A600 are still on my must-have list. Enjoyed the custom chips overview -- this will serve as an excellent reference for future Amiga CD32 enthusiasts. I'm off to watch part 2....

@igotes 6 лет назад

Fantastic work, well researched, well produced.. The background music so appropriate for the era too!

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Thank you... all music is in the video description and well worth a listen to. Some great Amiga covers

@FrankWoodPhotography 6 лет назад

Love trash to treasure!! So satisfying! Best thing on RU-vid!! 🤓

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Very kind thank you Frank!

@TheToyBoy1978 6 лет назад

Definitely one of the finer channels RU-vid has to offer, as far as fixing consoles and computers go, this channel can not be beat!

@itsaPIXELthing 6 лет назад

Lovely video! Looking forward for part 2! ;)

@3k3k3 Год назад

Akiko was exactly what the Amiga needed, with that it would never be able to do the "fake 3d" stuff that was running wild on the PCs

@richaw11 6 лет назад

Great video as always 🙂

@MadPeteST 6 лет назад

I got one of these for Christmas and was super excited, I had plans to buy all the expansions / games for it... which of course never really happened as Commodore was deceased shortly after. Considering it didn't live long, there was a fair few games available tho (mostly ports, but hey). I do often wonder what could have been achieved if Commodore hadn't run themselves into the ground, and how it would have changed the landscape today. It would be great if you can get the old girl up and running though Neil! :-)

@richardhayes2173 3 года назад

These videos are great. Love them. And just discovered in the credits, the Project Paula BandCamp. That Beast remix is just damn brilliant! Thanks for the tip...

@edwardokaa 6 лет назад

From your panning shot up to the TV, I can only conclude that you have excellent taste in games. Never had a CD32 myself (a stock A600 was all I ever had) but remember the hype vividly.

@semplew 6 лет назад

Any reference to Cannon Fodder is an instant like! 😁

@PeTTs0n88 6 лет назад

Don't think I didn't notice that beautiful Lotus III soundtrack in the background, despite your interesting words!

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

So many great Amiga tunes to choose from

@PeTTs0n88 6 лет назад

Without question! So much great mod music from back when!

@MarquisDeSang 6 лет назад

I was one of the few lucky Canadian that got one and I loved it.

@wexoni 6 лет назад

Love it. Cant wait for second part.

@Commander64 6 лет назад

*Superb video* ! I really wanted one of these back in the day, but i remember that they were so ridiculously priced I never did get one. Hope you can get it fully working!

@robtaylor2045 6 лет назад

Great warm-up video to get the juices flowing for future episodes. Beware the audio caps that were installed with the wrong polarity at the factory. I can see they have a slight bulge on your board.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

They were indeed, I'll be taking plenty of photos of the board before recapping just to be 100% sure, and setting a full day aside to take my time over it. Prepare yourself for montages.

@lactobacillusprime 6 лет назад

The CD32 with a copy of Chaos Engine is my golden grail.

@yanndiy 6 лет назад

Thanks for the great trash to treasure series! It really motivates me to finish repairs on a motherboard with integrated voodoo graphics :)

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

You're welcome, thanks for watching it!

@tre1193 6 лет назад

I would say Caps too, that failure is looking like that. Change every capacitor on it. Beautiful Amiga :)

@EastAngliaUK 6 лет назад

good to see you got it going easy.

@DubiousEngineering 6 лет назад

Loving the RMC ! ... another cracking video! ... can’t wait to see it getting played! ... the capture card sounds like a record player with a broken belt or a tape that’s getting chewed up!!

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Hillarious isn't it, I'm tempted to make it my ringtone

@theseob 6 лет назад

Please note that some capacitors where put in the wrong way around in the factory. I had to reposition some of the caps on my board.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

They were and I'll highlight that in pt2. Many photos will be taken

@Yreq Год назад

i can remember this intro of Liberation like Yesterday, but i couldn't find CD as i pick my amiga few days ago. Anyway, it's time for recaping. Thank for reminding. Maybe that's the reason of audio problems.

@Rckrkid287 6 лет назад

Can't wait for part 2! :D

@andrasilles6664 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this one, thank you! :)

@ibd1977 6 лет назад

Found myself getting distracted by the music than watching the video. Damn you Jon Hare Narcissus!!! What a great song.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

It's a great cover, check the video description for music links

@galactus5911 6 лет назад

Thank you for the music tips, that Shadow of the beast cover is nothing but awesome!

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Galactus you're welcome, the whole Project Paula album is a great listen

@CRG 6 лет назад

Gotta love the cd32. I do admit I was a bit disappointed at the time having also owned the 1200 but today the cd32 is one of the best ways to enjoy classic Amiga games.

@regfenster 6 лет назад

I honestly believe your video capture boards rendition of that power up sequence more or less sums up Commodore during that period, a great shame that the Amiga went the way it did as it deserved better, probably the last home computer system that felt like it had a soul.

@TheToyBoy1978 6 лет назад

Can't Wait for part 2! I personally am no good at this sort of thing, i once replaced a laser unit on a Sega mega cd 2 (which i'm very proud of! lol ) , thats as far as dare go but your trash to treasure video's do make me want to have a go at resurrecting an old computer or console myself!

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Go for it. Find any old broken tech and practice your soldering/de-soldering until you're confident. I make no disguise I'm a hobbyist and if I can do it anyone can

@bhirawamaylana466 6 лет назад

Cannot wait for part 2, i dont have history with this console, probably because its end so fast so no retailer in my country pick this one.

@missionpassed4584 6 лет назад

I always enjoy the music on your videos

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Crazy Monkey thanks! Check the video description for music links including the Project Paula album which is great

@daverees8644 5 лет назад

Lots of potential, its a shame there was hardly any support.

@AnimalFacts 6 лет назад

I think I'm going to love this series. Will be watching for more.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Can we have an animal fact per episode please?

@AnimalFacts 6 лет назад

RetroManCave If you were doing Atari systems, I'd have plenty of animals to work with. But yeah I can do that.

@KaroKoenich 6 лет назад

Love that Stonekeep box!

@marcelofrau8818 6 лет назад

Cant wait to see part 2...

@BartechTV 5 лет назад

I remember reading the CD32 announcement in Amiga Format and thinking "Thats just an A1200. In 1993, What the hell are Commodore thinking, there's no way that can compete, it's years behind the competition. They're going bankrupt." Then I sold my Amiga and got a 486 PC. Then Amiga went bankrupt and got sold to Escom, and despite there being a large Escom high street store in Newcastle, where I lived, I never saw a single Amiga for sale there, only PC's. Then Escom went bankrupt and Amiga got sold to Gateway 2000, and by this point I was past caring.

@RMCRetro 5 лет назад

That sounds like a very familiar story. I really didn't care for the cd32 at the time any more than the CDi or CDTV. It's nice to revisit it now. Escom.... I think I only ever bought cheap floppy disks from them before they closed

@GadgetUK164 6 лет назад

=D Looks like you've lucked out with that laser! Just caps i think. You can prove that by leaving it powered up for 10 or 15 minutes - the video would probably improve over time. Keep the laser as a spare, or pass it on when someone needs one! I've got 4 more spares still :P Thanks for the shoutout! BTW - that DAC is the video DAC, not the audio DAC! The CD audio DAC is the Sanyo chip which I initially mistook for an op amp in my first CD32 vid.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

GadgetUK164 - Retro Gaming Repairs & Mods thanks Gadget! Noted! I always say my videos come with 4 checks. 3 by me writing and researching it and 1 in the comments section! I'll update the DAC info when I've completed the series with edited commentary. Thanks as always!

@GadgetUK164 6 лет назад

No worries! Like I said - I made the mistake of thinking the audio DAC was an op amp :o) It's easily done!

@andrewlittleboy8532 6 лет назад

Looks like them 2 caps are reversed again, as they seem to be bulging.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Andrew Littleboy indeed there is a known issue here from production which we'll look at in pt2

@fortnitegod2647 6 лет назад

You've done it again Neil what a great and informative vid . I know nothing about the CD32 apart from it was great in its time . Thanks for the guided tour round the board.... The picture on screen may be a capacitance issue with a few of the caps. So jog on and bring us episode two please ........😁......Kim

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Maam yes maam! *jogs on to RS Components....* 😃

@fortnitegod2647 6 лет назад

You do realise Neil I'm a bloke not a bird don't you?

@infinitecanadian 6 лет назад

I sure wish that Commodore Business Machines was still back in business. It's possible they would have new innovations even today.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Me too. Me...too. I actually would have liked to see the CD32 Two years earlier with a cart slot instead of CD. It would have given the competition a run for its money and given Commodore some console market experience before taking on the CD and 3D generation.

@cleanycloth 6 лет назад

New RMC video. It's about Amiga stuff. First song played is from Cannon Fodder. I'm in love

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Hehe be sure to check the music links in the description, your ears will thank you

@cleanycloth 6 лет назад

Ahh, fantastic! (the amiga version will always have the best sound out of the DOS and Mega Drive ports, no matter how good the MD one sounds :P and not that i've ever managed to get Cannon Fodder running on real DOS hardware anyway lol)

@pnvgordinho 6 лет назад

They should make a mini cd 32 like the mini NES and sell it with the top 10 Amiga games and a virtual store to get the rest of the catalogue.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Pedro Gordinho that would actually work! I like it

@stephenb8058 6 лет назад

You missed Gunship 2000 - this used Akiko also, and sped up the 3D graphics to a speed similar to an 030 25MHz + FPU. Considering the poor EC 020 with no FAST RAM on the basic A1200, this was a damned good improvement. Check out the FMV loading screen too, really impressive for the time.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Stephen B ooh thank you I wasn't aware Gunship supported Akiko I'll definately give it a try. Great game.

@MorganJustGames 5 лет назад

I love the CD32. I've not 2 of them. Such a shame that it didn't do very well. Only 175 games were released for it. The games released could of been so much better. Great Video by the way and a great selection of music. Not heard that Cannon Fodder one before. Original I have.

@ryanyoder7573 6 лет назад

I love the CDTV look but want 32 bit power. Some day I’ll build a CDTV lookalike with my Amiga 600 with Furia. Power and class.

@markc2116 6 лет назад

Great video. Looking forward to the follow up ones. My cd32 is a French version. Finally got the 8 pin mini din to s video cable for it.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Excellent I bet that looks nice. A noticeable improvement?

@markc2116 6 лет назад

RetroManCave unfortunately my TV hasn't S Video or scart. I need an s video to some sort of HDMI converter. Has to be way better than composite though.

@edgeeffect 6 лет назад

Woah! I'd forgotten the CD32... thanks for the memory.

@shaungreer3350 2 года назад

I didn’t expect siouxsie and the banshees to be in this video lol. Goth culture is everywhere ig

@Lilithe 6 лет назад

I can see one of the caps is not quite still mounted. Neat video.

@f_youtubecensorshipf_nazis 2 года назад

My PC gamer friends were so jealous of the stuff my amiga could do. It's pretty amazing how badly the company screwed up. Commodore should be a dominant player in console gaming today. Sad really.

@AirknightTails 6 лет назад

It's nice to see someone else talk about the CD32. I'm a US person, but I enjoy the CD32 thanks to Amiga Forever (Fire & Ice is my fave CD32 game)

@jamiemarchant 6 лет назад

Good luck with the recaps.

@bachaplegic 5 лет назад

Hybris title music is my all time favourite game score.

@SullySadface 3 года назад

I can't remembering if I've been here before but man does that Cannon Fodder music is feels

@redthorne2836 6 лет назад

Heheh...Hybris theme song remix for the creds. Loved that game.

@iandoster4680 10 месяцев назад

I think, because of this console, Commodore could have left the computer market and joined the console market. If you remove the computer parts of the Amiga CD32, it's basically a video game console.

@SuperJet_Spade 6 лет назад

I was curious about how the Amiga CD32 looked. I read an article online about it, but there was no picture of it in that article. Never would I have known that the Amiga CD32 was a game console rather than a computer.

@005AGIMA 5 лет назад

Imagine if the hot "must have" christmas item this year was a computer, that could be used for work/homework, but that ALSO played awesome games, and played them well, all at the GAMES CONSOLE price point! Those were the rare days of the 8bit - 16bit microcomputer market of the 80's and 90's. I think sliding more toward the "console only" was part of the mistake Commodore made personally. They should have pursued the A1200 evolution, and given the middle finger to what everyone else was doing. These days we "need" a computer, AND a console, ....or 2.....AND a tablet? AND a phone that costs twice the above mentioned? And somehow we're better off?

@kolamik2 6 лет назад

Great nostalgia rush when cd32 was powered on. And that glitchy video just made it better.

@CyclingSteve 6 лет назад

My CD32 is still fully working. My SX-1 expansion however is not, one of these days I'll get it going again.

@WiggysanWiggysan 6 лет назад

I (think) I think I remember the CD32 ........ or is my 40 year old memory confusing this with the Genesis or a Mega Drive ? Either way, you are right, this is history & needs to be put back in working order. Top work on these Trash to tresure video's. These were the reason I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work Mr RMC.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Thanks Wiggy always a pleasure to see you here. The Sega MegaCD maybe? That was still hanging around when the CD32 was released. The Saturn was a little later.

@WiggysanWiggysan 6 лет назад

Yes, the MegaCD sounds about right. One of the rich kids from the next village had one ...... he was the most popular kid in school for about 6 months !

@dergrunepunkt 6 лет назад

Cool one mate, thanks

@LambdaCalculus379 6 лет назад

If there's any one Amiga platform I would so love to own, it's the CD32. The first time I really got to play with one hands on was at Vintage Computer Fest East 2017, when Bill and Anthony of The Guru Meditation had a bunch of Amiga and Commodore hardware on display, including (of course!) the CD32 itself, hooked up and playing ReImagine Games' excellent port of Time Gal! That was an awesome exhibit and I hope this year they have the old girl back out again! :)

@swk38 6 лет назад

Got my cd32 in 97 from safe harbor and also had sx 1 and sx 32 for it, got a A2000 keyboard and a external disk drive, my subscriptions to CU Amiga and Amiga Format came with CD roms that worked really well on it, with a mouse of course. Never could find much software in the US for it, always checked safe harbor, and software hut weekly in the nineties

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

I'd love an SX32 or a ProModule for the conversion. Very hard to come by.

@drunkensailor112 6 лет назад

There's actually not a single 32 game that used the akiko chip and thus it's power remained a mystery until a few years ago on eab forums. They found out it's very powerful and are now working on doom for the 32.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

drunkensailor112 my understanding is that Gloom and Wing Commander used it. The Akiko was basically a cheap buffer for conversion instead of adding fast RAM. An 020 with a little RAM and certainly an 030, and a software routine for the conversion easily match the Akiko from what I've read. Do you have some links to read up on the Doom concersion which uses it I'd be interested to see how that works out?

@MarkFixesStuff 6 лет назад

Great video. Recapping the board will 90% sort the signal, as it's a timing issue.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

Thank you! Step into part 2 to reveal the problem 😁

@TekTherapy 6 лет назад

Laser died on my CD32 a while ago as well. Took the opportunity to do a RGB mod since i was opening it up anyway. Btw. love the Video great work !! And thanks for taking the time making it so indepth.

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

TekTherapy thanks for watching. Lasers seem to be a common failure on these. I'm really looking forwars to getting it working and setting some game time aside for it

@TekTherapy 6 лет назад

I guess if we consider the build date of the CD32´s it seems to be getting a more common issue. I get alot of Saturns in now as well with dead lasers. See an uptrend there. Sidenote you should check out the unofficial CD32 Ports !

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

TekTherapy I have a spindle of blank CD's at the ready :)

@TekTherapy 6 лет назад

Awesome !!! Hope you get alot of enjoyment out of it !! It´s getting harder and harder anyway to grab the CD32´s at an decent price so keep it safe :-)

@TheHighlander71 6 лет назад

Chris is worth his weight in gold, isn't he?

@RMCRetro 6 лет назад

He sure is, one of my favourite channels

@fluffycritter 5 лет назад

Huh, I never realized this never officially came out in the US. I remember my favorite books and games store having a CD32 and a bunch of games at least on display, and I could have sworn they had a few for sale (with nobody wanting to buy them).
