Title: Wanted!!! Rocking Horse Poo or CD32 FMV Module whichever is easiest
Post by: milesunder on May 19, 2005, 03:05:11 PM: Hi I am keen to get hold of a FMV Module for the CD32. I know they they are very hard to get hold of but there is no harm in trying. I have an SX1 or SX32 MKII that I would be willing to trade. I guess I need the PAL version but NTSC isn't out of the question.

Thanks in advance.

There is only one card...............The FMV card supports both PAL and NTSC................I had 3 or them.

I regret selling it BIGTIME!!!

Post by: billt on June 07, 2005, 10:23:24 PM: Heh. I've had trouble finding a CD32 to put my FMV card into... NTSC ones seem rare on ebay and go for more than I care to pay for such an old console, someday I'll have to break down and give in to paying what they go for. I'll probably find everything else I'd ever want to hook up to or play on one before actually getting the CD32 itself...

No, I'm not parting with it. I just think it's funny that I have the opposite problem you do.

Post by: Ianoakley on June 07, 2005, 11:40:39 PM: I might be interested in a swap. I bought one of these when they first came out and boy were they hard to get hold of in those days let alone now. Probably the only Amiga product I can recall getting perfect ratings. I even bought a few films !! Would you be happy to let both your SX modules go in exchange ? :-)

If any of you want some Philips CDI movies to play on your FMV equipped CD32s I've got:

- The Hunt for Red October
- Patriot Games
- Sliver

I'll throw in a FishMarket CD (FF disks 1-1000) and "FF collection on CD-ROM" version 1.5 (a CDTV title).

First person to make a reasonable offer gets them!

Do the VCD discs have any regionalisation i.e. PAL or NTSC

I managed to purchase a FMV on Ebay last week but if yours is boxed with the manual then I would still be interested. Unfortunately I sent the SX32 back to where I bought it from and I am going to hang on to my SX1. If you are interested in a SX32 you can buy them new from eyetech www.eyetech.co.uk for about £130. The only problem with the SX32 is it sits in the same bay as the FMV card so you can't use them both at the same time.

I just read what was on the jewel case and sleeve and I couldn't see anything indicating NTSC only or regionalization at all... Let me know!

Post by: ironfist on June 10, 2005, 05:42:06 PM: How much is a FMV module complete with box and manuals worth?
Title: Re: Wanted!!! Rocking Horse Poo or CD32 FMV Module whichever is easiest
Post by: leirbag28 on June 10, 2005, 07:13:52 PM: @ironfist

Not sure but the price varies..........I sold mine recently on eBay complete with box and original PHILIPS Video CD movies...............I forgot how much I sold it for...
I regret selling mine and want to buy it back........You selling one?

Post by: leirbag28 on June 10, 2005, 07:33:13 PM: @gafstu

I have an SX-32 pro 50mhz 128mb RAM and a 40gig HD..............but only in your dreams will I trade it for a FMV card :-) unless you throw in a 68060 processor for the A1200 I may consider ;-)

Post by: amigadave on June 11, 2005, 01:40:02 AM: Is heat from the 50mHz 68030 a problem inside your CD32? I would like to duplicate your setup on my CD32 if I can find the SX32Pro anywhere.

Yes.the 68030 gets hot...but I have a fan permanently imbedded into the case and it cools everything perfect.

@others

YES! the FMV card plays NTSC, PAL, and CD-i movies, as well as VideoCD's burned in NERO or VideoCD's burned from DVD's...............these come out great and even better than some Commercial Vcd's............someone gave me a Linkin Park VideoCD and it looks super!
It also depends what ROM your FMV card has.some of the older FMV cards cant play CD-i movies......EVERYONE post here what color your FMV circuit board is.and what color the Metal casing is............I have seen 3.......silver....gold....and black............and the circuitboard....brown or green.

the FMV card is also rumoured to be able to Play MP2's and MP3's with AMPlifier or AmigaAMP (WinAMP clone) because MP3's are really MPEG 1 layer 3 audio. I tried to make this work and was unsuccessful.
