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!!!

CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

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.

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 ?  :-)
Amiga One
Amiga 4000 with Picasso IV graphics card etc
Amiga 4000 with Mediator
A1200 in D Box with blizzard ppc 040/25Mhz and mediatorTX with Radeon graphics card, Abit FM801 soundcard , Spider USB abd NIC card - now running OS4
CD32 with FMV card...

Hi,

    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!

-G

@ Glitch

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

@Ian

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.

Hi,

     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!

(still working on the Rocking Horse Poo)

How much is a FMV module complete with box and manuals worth?
