Any way to play video on an A500+?
« on: October 03, 2012, 03:05:14 PM »
Is there any way to play video on an A500+? Is there a need for some sort of graphics card or an accelerator card would be enough?

Yes you can, but you need a HD or CDROM.

Depends on the format I guess... Anim5 files play very well, H.264 files would probably take a week to decode each frame and then it would be low resolution and limited colour...

-edit- and you would definitely need as much fast ram as you can find!

I'm not an Amiga (HW) user, so I have something off topic in my mind (sorry):

Believe me, I don't hang around in forums much. There are about three forums I sometimes visit and the other two being non amiga related. But, a note: I keep seeing recurring symbolic numbers in users post counts: 911 (yours right about now), 404, 386, 486, 666.
Though I have yet to see a 68000, or ∞ ...
