They only "lost" it because they literally couldn't afford to fight it. It wouldn't even have been a hard suit to fight, since there are plenty of previous works to demolish the patent going back to the earliest text terminals. Good thing it isn't so easy to sneak a patent for something like that through today, ha. ha. ha... *sigh*

nice video i just picked a NTSC CD32 last week and a FMV Module from Italy that was sold as is not working, but works fine in my CD32, I originally had bought one in the US when i went to the World of Amiga show in New York i think it was on pear 99 in 1993 and when i heard Commodore went bankrupt i quickly sold it. Most people didn't know that that's where the CD32's were sold in the US i think they came in Via Canada. And now i have one once again.

The problem was an A1200 did everything a CD32 did but had a huge library of (mostly copied) disks already. There was already other consoles coming that had better 3D support.
@TheTurnipKing
@TheTurnipKing 4 года назад
It's the same problem that plagued every other bloody "computer to console conversion" that Commodore ever made, really. There was little scope for CD32 specific software and without a substantial userbase of it's own, publishers wouldn't dedicate the resources to even try, instead favouring slight rejigs of thieir existng Amiga software. With hindsight, they probably would have been better off releasing their cd1200 addon, but the problem with a peripherial is that you can only ever sell it to a fraction of people who are already your customers. But CD-ROM had clear value for existing amiga owners whereas the CD32's value proposition was fairly suspect for new customers.
@xubidoo4415
@xubidoo4415 4 года назад
There were a lot of CD32 titles in development that simply didn't see the light of day due to the big C going bust, many were apparently CD32 specific making full use of the system (Akkiko chip) and CD-Rom, shame we never actually got to see them.
@TheTurnipKing
@TheTurnipKing 4 года назад
@@xubidoo4415 a lot of what did get released wound up on the 1200: For example, Liberation: Captive 2, Guardian, Roadkill. It didn't take much for a lightly upgraded 1200 to outpace the CD32. A PCMCIA cdrom drive and a bit of fast ram, and the Akiko chunky to planar was easily done in software. Strip out or pare down animations, and you could often obviate the need for a CD, too. While I'm sure many titles *were* cancelled, a lot would eventually see light of day on DOS CD-Rom. I think much of Cryo's PC output (Megarace, etc) was originally planned to come to CD32 as well.

@Spooksville Scoob Although some games will have an issue with NTSCPAL the reality is that CD32 & A1200 have the ability to switch between PAL and NTSC just by holding the down the two mouse buttons on boot up. If you go the route of an Amiga OS setup, then it's done once in the OS and no need for switching. PAL vs NTSC screens however is a different thing both have different screen refresh frequencies and different resolutions (PAL having a bit slower but higher resolution) for that there are several solutions. There are the internal snap on adapters like the Individual Computers indivision card that hijacks the video signal. Alternatively use a HD video converter (external box) which allow you to use a modern LCD display neither system is perfect but they do work. Where to find an Amiga that's reasonable price! try Amibay.

Dan, so weird as I just recently got this exact setup and I've been thinking the exact same! I've got quite a few Amiga"s, but since I got my CD32 with the TF330 and riser, I've been addicted to it and it's been my first call above the others...I wasn't expecting that. I had a CD32 for Christmas at launch, but I never loved it the way I do now... With the TF330 it's brilliant 😍

I love anything Amiga, However Amiga emulation has come on a long way and I have a really nice Amiga Setup on my Raspberry Pi paired with a usb competition pro. The new WHD Load Booster (amiberry) helps auto config games to run more accurately. also my Pi boots into a workbench like a real Amiga and I use Tiny Launcher to load games. I recently picked up a Mister and playing around setting up Amiga on that.. Dont get me wrong I love original hardware and love that authentic experience but its not always possible due to rarity and expense. Amiga should be enjoyed by everyone 😀

Yes back in the good old days when Amiga hardware was dirt cheap and you could pick up something like a A3000/A4000 for £200, my A4000T which I purchased on eBay in 2007 was £250, and further back in 2005 I won a fully loaded A4000 with CyberStormPPC, CybervisionPPC, and Toccata sound card for £320 which looking back was madness. These Amiga's tho were vastly undervalued, I remember sending some A4000 stuff to France for repair, and it was actually much cheaper just to buy replacement motherboards and parts of eBay so at least two of my A4000's ended up in the bin.

Unfortunately the rise of RU-vid sparked the interest of collecting to a lot more people that before. Suddenly NES games that cost $5 now go for $100 and consoles that were deemed a joke suddenly cost more than successful ones. I bought a Virtual Boy with Mario Tennis for like $25 back in 2007 and after a couple of videos (on of those probably being the one from AVGN) suddenly the console costs multiple times that. I refused to buy an Atari Jaguar for $80 because I thought it was too expensive and suddenly its price skyrocketed. Its good that retro gaming survives but the raise in interest also brought in the scalpers. It's not easy being a collector anymore.

Great video Dan. Like yourself I'm a massive fan of the CD32 and have been fighting its corner since 1993. Microcosm was one of those games I dragged friends round to see to prove my console can do FMV too! I really don't understand the hate some people put onto the wee console, it is the ultimate Amiga gaming system especially with the TF cards. Just sits so much better in front of the TV than a wedge computer. I noticed on your sysinfo that the result was around 7 mips? Or at least that's what I think I read from the screen. You might still be on the original firmware and a quick update should see around 9.5 mips. Temptingly close to 10 but if you want to break that you'll need to overclock the card as I've done. I'm stable with a 108mhz crystal (54mhz clock) getting around 10.5mips. Drop a full 030 on there and the MMU libraries and you'll also get a wee boost in drive speed. All that done you can play CDXL video using AGA Blaster full screen 25fps!

@daishi5571 4 года назад
@@MonsterHunterLancer I don't know if it wouldn't have mattered, as selling the CD32 in the US may have had the creditors rethink calling in or at least delaying, and they were ultimately the reason for Commodore's bankruptcy. The 3DO was in a different market that cost big $, had a small game library, and did not sell well. Followed by the Jaguar that was very reasonably priced, but lacked production initially so losing momentum, a small game library, and again not selling great. The CD32 was reasonably priced, had a decent name pedigree, a decent game library, and potentially a huge library available. It sold well in europe despite production squeeze due to trying to open worldwide (huge warehouse of US CD32's not being able to sell) While both consoles were more powerful than the CD32, neither became a must buy, and the CD32 was always a gap filler while they worked on the next gen Amiga chipset. It was basically sold as an Amiga gaming system for convenience, without a keyboard and mouse unless you wanted one. It was quite clever if you think about it. Sell a system with most of the tech already pre existing so R&D costs are minimal. Game companies were well aware of Amiga systems so software would be relatively easy compared to both 3DO and Jaguar so ensuring a good library with extra income for Commodore. Also it helped push CD's into Amiga computer systems to help expand them. Had Commodore sold the PC side of the business instead of just abandoning it, maybe things could have been different at least for a while.

I of course went and tried this with my own A4000 keyboard and following a "well I'll be" moment I now have a fully fledged A1200 in the shape of my CD32 (I also have the Kipper expansion too for RGB etc but not the TF itself since my pimped out A1200 already has an 030 and all sorts so no real need). Interestingly the developer comes along to our Scottish Amiga User Group meetings occasionally :) I'm really enjoying your return to the videos mate :)

In the end the slow rendering of webpages made me give it up. I bought the TF330 after digging out my CD32 and finding the SX1 was no longer working.

I'm using a A1200 as my "main Amiga". Expanded with 8MB of fast ram and a CF card (+IDE adapter) it allows me to play most of the WHDLoad titles just fine. Tinylauncher is IMHO the best way to run WHDLoad games on any Amiga. I use "Tom" usb joystick adapter, which works in CD32 mode - along with SNES controller (+ SNES usb adapter). Playing this way is quite comfortable. The only thing I miss from CD32 is the lack of CD audio in CD32 games. I would like to buy a CD32 one day, but it's quite pricey.

Back in the day I fitted a 3.5" hard drive in it and ran the current workbench of the day. It has a Blizzard A1230 accelerator installed in it. What would you guys do with a machine like that these days (providing it still works!). Run it as is? Rip out the HDD and install a CF drive in it? Any other suggestions? Install a newer workbench? Or move away from the Bilzzard A1230 and install something else? Suggestions appreciated, I'm totally out of touch with current hardware/software. Pretty sure WHDLoad was developed or massively improved after I'd put my Amiga in storage.

Well, not onlzbthe CD32 but AGA in general came way too late and wasn't sufficient as a step up. 99% of interesting Amiga games run on OCS/ECS Amigas. Inclusing all the classic that actually defined the Amiga as a gaming machine. I myself was an insane Amiga enthusiast back then, having anything from an Amiga 1000, through to an Amiga 4000 with 4GB Harddrive, Cyberstorm PCC and Cybervision 3D - and from that I learned, that there's no sense in using anything higher than an Amiga 500 with 1MB Chipram for Gaming. After buying three AGA versions of games (and of course rasing hundreds of tests with screen photos, as usual back then)I didn't even bother about AGA anymore because the visual difference that 256 colors made vs. 32+ (copper..) was just abysmall, only noteable in a direct comparison and even then just minimal. Of course that was clear before, as VGA games neve rlooked better than Amiga games, too, (most actually looked even worse, because of the chunky 30kHz pixels). Yes, there where some nice features in an fully equipped AGA Amiga, yes. I loved it for painting, processing images, making multi channel music, listening mp3, copying copy protected MS-DOS disks with no problem, and burning a lot of Playstation 1 CDs, after I had equipped all my friends Playstations with modchips. Also it was great for scanning and printing in great quality on 24-needle printers and color ink printers, and even an occassional game of Alien Breed 3D, Gloom, Breathless or Wipeout 2097 was knd of fun. It's sad, but all these 'advanced' things, can be done on modern machines much easier, with much higher quality and having more fun. Retro Amiga gaming requires an 1MB Chip Amiga 500, nothing else.

I love all my Amiga's, but the Terrible Fire card in a CD32 make things far more convenient while also taking up very little realestate. I agree I would not play Doom with a 68030, but I rather play gloom or Alien Breed 3D anyway, for I use an Amiga to play Amiga games, not PC titles. Besides, 68030 CPU's are still affordable, while legitimate 68060 cpu's are far too expensive these days and besides as you have mentioned and everyone else, 68030 cpu's provide some umph while being quite compatible still. I scored 2 brand new CD32's from China in 2008. I suppose a bunch of units were stumbled upon in an old warehouse? They sold out via Ebay very quick. I feel fortunate to having purchased two, but I still love to hear my Amiga 1000 boot up!

I'm curious about how many standard Amiga games have since been patched to use the multi-fire button Amiga CD32 controllers [both first party and licensed third party controllers; that Genesis/MegaDrive shaped gamepad looks sweet!]. I'd assume that would be done through WHD Load. That's my biggest pet peeve with the patching done with the Atari ST/STe/TT/Falcon030 scene... the majority aren't patching the games to use the ST Power Pad/JagPad/JagPad Pro Controllers. [although they are when porting the ST games over to the Jaguar]...

"As the CD32 is actually the only Amiga that doesn't natively have RGB video output." This is factually untrue, the revision 4 CD32 motherboard released for the French market has full native RGB output from a 8 pin mini-Din socket which replaces the original 4-pin S-Video found on the older CD32's.

As an expansion of the Amiga, the CD32 isn't too bad, with add-ons it is essentially an A1200. As a game console coming out in late 1993, the hardware was showing its age. Lots of the games were CD versions of preexisting software, and they featured quirks like music or sfx only and only one button input on the controller. The Amstrad GX4000 and the Commodore 64GS had similar problems, but were even older hardware that could do less than the original.

@@Stomski No they don't have the CD soundtracks. There are tools that can mount ISO files via the OS, I haven't tried them with games but that's an interesting question.

@@danwood_uk what happens if you have the CD in the drive, but play the CD32 version through WHDLoad? Does the game code still control the CD audio playback or has the drive become unmounted due to boot modification to the ROM? If this works then you'd at least have fast game loading from CF and the audio from CD. There weren't even that many games that used CD Audio tracks, but y'know... Curiosity must be sated!

Commodore must have bring out the A1200 CD and not the AMIGA CD32. Had in 1984 the C64 Breadbin FAT 250425 RevA and four years latter a A500. 1992 a A1200 and 1994 i switch to Neo Geo AES and Bally pinballs such as EATPM and Scared Stiff. Now i back with C64’s, A500’s and A1200’s. And have my precious Neo Geo AES in mint state with the best games for it. The pinballs is a repair hobby a to seek the best parts for it. Like to experience with all my stuff and to build so best possible. The A1200’s are very special to have fun with it. Like my A1200 GHOST case alot from A1200NET. Would like the Blizzard 1260 or the ACA1260 to build in. Maybe AMIGA35 goes one and i bring it there. You can see my progress on the Dutch forum Amiga Cafe [user AMIGA JOHAN]. Have alot of pictures on it and do the best way to build great A1200’s.

When the CD32 was being designed in 1993 it was to compete with the Mega CD and Super Nintendo and for the time the CD32 was a decent idea, it sold well and sold a lot of CD titles too in the limited market it was in. The 3DO cost 3 times what the CD32 did - how many people did you know could afford one of those?

I had a CD-32 with SX-1 and loved it. I used a CD-TV keyboard that was altered to have a black keyboard that looks good and I added a external case to put a 3.5" HD inside together with a floppy drive with some DiY. For the rest I added 4 MB fast-ram to upgrade the default 2 MB chip-ram. I remember saving up and buying almost every game that was worth to get the CD-32 version for. Some of the games I remember having the CD-32 version of that I played a lot was Rise of the Robots, Roadkill, Jetstrike and Microcosm. I was sad to replace it with my first MS-Dos/Windows based machine.
