Title: CD+G player for Amiga?
Post by: amiga92570 on December 28, 2006, 10:02:46 PM
Does any one know of a CD+G player for the amiga similar to the one on CD32? I have tons of CD+G disks and the only thing I can play them on is the CD32. I was hoping there is a player for the Amiga.

Perhaps with a CD32 or CDTV emulator such as the AsimCDFS included one it might work.

That's a good guess. I know the CDTV is capable of playing CD+G, it's the only place I have ever seen CD+G EVER.

Same here, although stuff like the JaguarCD and SegaCD stuff also supported it according to wikipedia.

When I got my CDTV I trawled through my and my brothers' CD collections to find a CD+G disc and managed to find one whole CD which had it; a rather uninspiring Fleetwood Mac album :crazy:. It wasn't very impressive, a very slow loading slideshow..

Yeah I have many, mainly Karaoke disks. I have a cd32 that plays them great, but was hoping there was an amiga player for standard amiga computers. I did not know CDTV played CD+Gs. I guess its one of those old Ideas. ahhah :roll:

Sam here. My friend's Amiga store got CDTVs in when they first came out, so we went to the local record store looking for CDs that supported CD+G. IIRC the people in store were clueless about WTF we were talking about, but we had read a magazine article that gave a few examples of who would have it. We picked up 2 CDs, I only remember one of them, Little Feet.

Same as you, we found both the music and the CD+G extremely uninspiring  :-x
