Commodore CDTV

[Phantom]

I will also get a CDTV today, so, some questions:

- to play a game (OCS), i will have 2 floopy drives, does it work as a A500? Put he disk and ready to roll?

If it's disk and you have the external floppy disk drive, sure.

- i can't find many games for it on CD, most are appications, but i saw 4 or 5 games in ebay...
i guess they are like the CD32 where you have a normal AGA game with some extras, basicly it was a game fr AGA with some intros, and a lot of space free on the CD. same system in CDTV?

Actually only a few games were CDTV-only, and some also were ports from A500 games. Sure rarely to find and very much overpriced because of their rarity. Mostly are multimedia applications as you can see. But... you can possibly run CD32 games in your CDTV, as you may know not all CD32 games were AGA specific. Apart from that, a finest example of this is Defender of the Crown 2.

- the HD, how do i put an HD? does it have IDE? or a side port like A500?

No IDE, no side port. You will need the SCSI controller (especially designed for the CDTV) to connect a SCSI-I hard disk drive.

- can i use a db9 joystick? And the controller, can i play with it?

The remote controller is good for applications such as multimedia ones, but not for games. You cannot use standard 9pin joysticks and mice straight from your Amiga before buying an adapter for those (ex. Brickette adapter). CDTV has two types of mice though. One is wired and the other one is infra-red.

You should never give in when it comes to your hobbies. Everyone needs their own interests, otherwise it isn't healthy.

[Andrew1971]

I agree we need hobbies to take our mind of the stresses of life and help to relax.

Nice. I have exactly the same speakers and almost same screen

[Harrison]

How good would you both say your speakers are? Do they give good base response. And if you would recommend them, what make and model are they?

[Demon Cleaner]

Logitech speakers, they're good for my purpose. They were cheap. My girlfriend uses them when watching episodes when she's ironing in front of the PC

I don't play on my PC, and I barely listen to music on it, so my judgement might be irrelevant. Watching some YouTube videos is fine, I cannot complain.

In my opinion, for my usage, they're very good.

Btw, they're 2.1 speakers, a subwoofer comes together with them.
