Hi, got a few more!

Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis (adventure) - says out of memory then crashes (v2.3_0851)

Secret of Monkey Island shows "Game Paused. Press SPACE to Continue." throughout the intro. despite no keys being pressed. Game otherwise works fine. Kinda slow, but maybe that's just the Amiga version (v3.7_1625)

Kings Quest V is also really slow (v1.3).

Worms Directors Cut doesn't seem to load (only tried v1.3_AGA_8MB_0605)

Cheers

Same for me with Indiana’ and Worms DC. I think SOMI works for me though, will need to check …

again is not a bots problem,  the website is down for non-payment
as I said above RCK is suffering a divorce he'll be evicted from the house next week.
some EAB members offered to house him, but he declined and plans to travel to India and convert to Buddhism

Is there support for an emulated or real MT32?

I've seen the option for serial TCP under the game settings, can you use a USB-to-serial for null modem games?

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / CD1200 prototype analysis
« Last post by CD32Freak on June 14, 2025, 03:49:06 PM »
The Commodore CD1200 was a prototype external CD-ROM drive for the Amiga 1200. When I watched the YouTube video "Beth Richard and the Amiga CD1200 tear down" by PixelFix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYGhOuIysVU&t=0s), the first thing I noticed was that the CD-ROM drive was not the same as the one used in the CD32. This piqued my curiosity, and I wanted to find out whether it also used different IC components. So I asked PixelFix if he could take high-resolution pictures of the board.

My suspicion was correct. The optical unit is a Philips CDM12.1, and it includes the Philips TDA1301T digital servo processor (DSIC2), the Philips TDA1302T data amplifier and laser supply circuit, and two Philips TDA7073A dual BTL power drivers. Interestingly, however, they retained the Sony CXD2500BQ digital signal processor, just like in the CD32.

After these discoveries, I became curious about what kind of microcontroller was on the board. Based on my research, it’s likely that the CD controller uses a Philips 8051 microcontroller. The details suggest a design tailored for compatibility with the Philips components.

If you want to better understand the circuitry of the CD1200, take a look at the schematics of the Atari Jaguar CD (https://wiki.console5.com/wiki/Atari_Jaguar_CD), which uses many of the same IC components. Instead of the Sony CXD2500BQ, it uses the Philips SAA7345GP (CD6). Yes, you guessed it — Philips was also heavily involved in the development of the Atari Jaguar CD.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the pictures of the top and bottom of the board and the optical unit.

These comprise of the full colour preview and excerpts of our Amiga Future issue 175 (Juli/August 2025) which can also be viewed online on the Amiga Future website.

Some of the interesting articles in this issue are:

Review Aminer

Of course there's actually so MUCH more in the magazine.

Needless to say you will often get other versions of software, some of which were commercially available, as well as some of the latest try-outs or freely released software applications and games for, hopefully, every Amiga variant of Operating system, so that's Amiga 'Classic', OS4, MorphOS, and AROS, including some PD software for these systems, all on the Readers' cover CD.

A detailed description of the varied content and excerpts of our current issue can be found at: https://www.amigafuture.de/app.php/kb/index?c=13

The Amiga Future magazine is available both as an English and German printed magazine - each issue is printed in FULL COLOUR - directly available from our magazine editorial office and from various other Amiga dealers.

Wait, there's a new* version? What are the details? What hardware does it run on? Specs?


*I know this post is old but I've just seen it.  :D

-EDIT-
I've just read the wikipedia entry which says it's not available standalone. Is this likely to be released for older hardware? (e.g. AmigaOne or such like)
