Watching UA-cam videos on modern games consoles is something we take for granted, but is it possible to watch UA-cam on a vintage Commodore Amiga CD32, released in 1993? I give it a try!

Aaaaand we're back! This is my first UA-cam upload in 7 months, sorry for the absence but life just got in the way. I am back to regular uploads again, hope you like them. :)
Hope all is well, glad to have you back
Welcome back mate!
Liked. Still waiting for an A3000 video. Please give it a try 😅
Badly missed Dan 😢
Welcome back! :) This might even motivate me to get a video out soon too 😆
Ah, finally, a Dan Wood video! It has been ages, feels like almost a year.
Yeah it almost has, no idea how that happened! Nice to be back though
@@danwood_uk Whenever I visit the UK and hear an accent close to yours', I get reminded of time passed by (in fact, if I watch a video of RMC, I get reminded of you too). Thing is, I can sharply remember how I listened to your HaikuOS video while driving through Germany (for the record for any viewers, I MEAN listening - ofc. I did not watch a video while driving :D). And that was two years ago. And still it feels like it has been yesterday.
Memories are strange.
Join the club I was thinking that when it up on my recommended.
@@danwood_uk Yea, really glad you're back! Missed your videos.
Well said
That video processed and ran astoundingly on an 68030 and a chipset never designed to run something so complex. Also, back in the day 128mbs of ram purchased by high end MAC owners cost over $3,000 US just for the ram. It does boggle my mind how everything has advanced.👍
I personally paid $200 for a 4mb stick for a 486 computer. It wasn’t just Mac users paying through the nose.
I had 64MB RAM in my Amiga CD32 back in 1996, my father had bought a Amiga CD32
with SX 32 Pro and 64MB RAM and 512MB 2,5" HDD, and black keyboard and mouse.
And the 64MB RAM was not $1500 USD, did not even come close.
I had 72 MB of ram on my Mac Quadra 650 in the mid 90s. We found the ram for sale at a reasonable price. I can’t remember how much.
@@GalenlevyPhoto It would have been a steal I bet, but a chunk of cash today in comparison.
@@AmigaWolf Yeah, in 1996 I recall it being around $400 for 64mb of ram. It was in later 1995 that they had singular 64mb SD-RAM modules, instead of buying a whole bunch of smaller sticks. As for what I had at the time, in December 1996 I got my first computer (HP Vectra) with 64mb ram, a Dual Pentium Pro 200mhz (400mhz total), 1.3 gb hard drive, a Voodoo 1 gpu, plus monitor, keyboard, speakers, and mouse for $4,000.
Outside of adding a bigger hard drive and Voodoo Banshee in June 1998, it pretty much played everything up to the original Xbox era, when the machine gradually became obsolete. I and my Dad wanted something that would last us a long time, without having to buy a new computer unit every year or two like other people did.
My biggest tech regret is selling my CD32 not long after Commodore went bust. I also had an Amiga 2000 which I was going to sell, though I ended up changing my mind thankfully. I still have that 2000 and it still works.
So what's your regret? It is hardly expandable (and expansions aren't nearly as good and affordable as for A1200), CD mechanism fails a lot. You can hardly use newer versions of OS (3.2) which works ok on any other platform. Let's face it... CD32 was a big flop and still is.
I thought the cd32 was pretty cheap these days? I can't imagine why people would want one they're pretty awful in so many regards. With that said I have one in a drawer collecting dust...
I have one with TF330 that has CF card full of software. Pads, joystick, keyboard, mouse. Connected to either 14" tv or my 40" tv and 2.1 speakers. RGB Scart. Works like a charm. I love the AGA demos. Very nice machine. To me its like having A1200 with a CD drive.
This is so fascinating. Great job with getting one step closer to watching phub on Amiga.
I love my Amiga 600 and I consider any attempt how to run this old HW in modern days as fascinating.
There are also guys who run 386 PC with Win95 which is similar fun as what Amiga fans do.
I noticed there is also extreme down clocking movement which does crazy things like to achieve the world's slowest Win XP by using down clocked Pentium Overdrive in 486 socket at 8 MHz. This results in booting OS in 20 minutes 🙂
I think it's the same passion and love for our machines no matter if it's Amiga or something else.
Personally I see future in using PiStorm in Amiga with Aros OS to maximize usability. I thing one of the biggest mistake Amiga engineers did back then is they didn't adopted x86 CPU (like Steve Jobs did in Apple). Today's ARM processors are rising stars and getting outperforming x86 ones. So adopting ARM CPU for Amiga via PiStorm is pretty good thing for future life of our Amigas.
@@richard.20000 It's exactly what I was thinking about. A PiZero would be an inexpensive way to expand Amiga's capabilities.
@@wolfgangkrauser5889 I have 4GB RPi4 and 16GB Orange Pi 5 (8-core ARM, about 3x faster than RPi4).
I expect support for PiStorm for that powerful Orange Pi 5. With those 16 GB I can run full size Linux OS on 12 GB and let PiStorm use those left 4GB for AROS or Workbench.
This way I would be able to use my A600 as daily driver. That's fantastic.
Unless you live in Utah!
@@richard.20000 why
This is honestly very impressive.
I remember seeing those small screen videos in SonicCD and Road Avenger on MegaCD and being blown away by it.
Sure, there was the PlayStation afterwards which handled such things like a champ but I find these machines still fascinating as they show what's up to come that is nowadays a total given on machines much smaller and way more powerful than what we had back then.
That's impressive! Given how today UA-cam is available on so many devices, seeing this on such old hardware and it being so watchable is pretty cool! Nice one! 😎👍
the problem is that youtube keeps ending support for old devices , old windows/android OS . They send you a message saying you won't be able to watch youtube by a chosen date
9:53 what a gorgeous view of the flawless Technics SL1210 MK2… I have the pair of those and it’s still running like a dream since ‘98
I've owned a pair of 1200s for more than half of my life and they still work like new. Imagine manufacturers making things that don't have planned obsolescence.
@@edbarnes technics 1200/1210s get better with age tbh… in 98 they were good.. but now, they are immaculately flawless!!
Good to see you back Dan. The work you put into your channel, as well as the Retro Hour Podcast, is really appreciated. Thanks for keeping us entertained and updated!
Hey Dan. Fantastic video. Glad to see a bit of love for the CD32, a machine based on wonderful hardware.
I had an Amiga back in the day, I had one for about 3 years from '93 (when I was 23 years old,) to about '96. Quite late in the Amiga's life and mainly got one for the Music capabilities. I played a few games, but not that many. I was using programmes like Oktalyzer, Sound tracker, etc to make music on. I had two 1200's, one 600 and two 500's. Funnily enough the 600 was my favourite of the bunch because I was able to modify it and put a 2.5 inch hard drive in it and it worked! But in around 94 I got my first PC and that was it for my Amiga. I never turned it on again and finally after about 2 years took it down from the wardrobe and gave it to a local charity shop and never looked back. Honestly, if I had the choice of a PC or Amiga back then I would without a doubt gone for a PC. It was superior in every way possible. Even now I love my PC more than I ever did my Amiga.
This is incredible. Amiga - the future
that browser is literally sending text requests to the future and getting snapshots back. 😂
the clock is tickin'.. I've already accepted the future looks bleak, Although we all wanna hang on by that single strain, eventually, its going to snap..Keep the fun going while it lasts, and the temptation is there to keep turning it on... The move to emulation is here.. and better....
Great video, it really is amazing what can be done on the old Miggy.
glad to see you back at it! High quality as allways! The amifox/amitube is fantastic!
American here and only passingly familiar with the Amiga, but man that is awesome how capable three decade old+ technology can be! Great stuff and a subscriber now!
Nice to see someone still care about CD32. Around year 2000 i made the first ever multi game discs for CD32 and created the CD32 scene which lasted until year 2006 or so.
I still have 2 working CD32 + One Elsat Promodule for them with 8.MB RAM, 40.Mhz FPU, 850.MB HDD, Amiga 4000 Keyboard etc.
That KLF documentary UA-cam is recommending on your xbox is well worth a watch
This is insane. One of those things I would've never thought possible. Thanks for the video.
Been waiting ages for a new video dan..well worth the wait
I've just got a cd32 and so far enjoying
I have a massive soft spot for the CD32. Wish i never sold mine. Saving up to buy a new
one but cant believe how much they've jumped in price.
I would really like to have a cd32. I've never even tried one except for the ones that was setup in the computer shops back in the days.
At least you sold yours. I jumped up and down on mine. I kept loosing at Superfrog and lost my marbles 😅
I managed to buy a brand new one about 12 years ago for around £100, and so happy that I did!
@@bl1gh7y At least you lost your marbles because of an addictive game xD
@@fuzzluvver69 Ooh, that's really lucky!
I had a CD32... I had at least one of every computer that Commodore / Amiga ever made... even a working PET. Ataris, too, I had probably 20 computers all networked together although all I could do from any of them was print, LOL
Another Awesome video Dan! Great to see you back at it. Going to have to give this a try on my CD32's
doing these types of shenanigans on older hardware is just super cool. you and Action retro are wizards. keep it up
Great video! Incidentally I was very happy and surprised to hear your voice on Hallam FM standing in for Big John a couple month back. Secretly wanted some Amiga talk hahaha.
This is just mind blowing! Excellent vídeo!
Thank you Dan… am looking forward to this mate. It’s my number one emulator I always use. Totally miss my CD32
great video dan and great to see you back in action
Glad that you are back!
Love your videos! Very interesting ideas and always to the point. Not too long, not too short. Just right. And you have a really pleasant voice. Very easy to listen to. Believe me, that's pretty rare for me.
Dankeschön & Grüße aus Deutschland! :=)
This was superb to see and very watchable quality .
I enjoyed watching this, thanks Dan.
What a great video, that was pretty cool to see, it worked faster than my old dial up internet back in the day.
Awesome video Dan! Isn't the TF running @ 50mhz? AmiTube and AmiFox are nice projects keeping the Amiga alive in 2023! Thanks for making this nice video about these wonderful projects.
Sysinfo agrees with you @ 3:00
Good to have you back Dan!
The sponsor sounds really cool actually. Probably coolest sponsor I've heard of in a while. Have to check it out
Long time no see buddy, welcome back with another great video
was happy to see your video!
Glad you’re back!
Here returns our Master! Great content as always!
Ami-Tube is pretty awesome, but for Modern web browsing on my spruced up Classic Amiga I tend to just use TwinVNC to connect to my companion Linux machine via VNC server, If I need to move files, I just use SMB network mounts. Performance is quite good on it, especially with an X-Surf-100 ethernet card in my A2000.
Frankly AVGN was talking out of his arse. CD32 was great. Mine is still running no problem.
AVGN is a Charachter,but the only problem is that he is UnitedStatean person...
the cd32 was a bad idea fmv games are not fun. but it plays amiga games so its still good but not impressive at the time. since you can play thoese on other systems
also PHILIPS CDi gives to us modern Internet humour, controls not so bad, that he said. MAH BOI and MORSHU are mercy for all problems of those games. He plays very bad in a lot of games purposly for lulz, but a lot of people think, that they really so bad.
I always admire your ingenuity Dan
Good to see you back Dan!
Impressive stuff! It just shows what can be done these days with old tech.
you have showed the browservice for amiga.. very nice.. also I never expected to watch a youtube video on an amiga cd32.. very nice.. thanks :)
Welcome back! Nice video. Thinking what could they would have made using the big space on a CD ROM, using the RAM as a buffer. At least, I guess the first two formats could have fit that media! Cheers, M
Glad you’re back 😀
Wow that's impressive! It is a litle complicated but still awsom! That prooves that you can watsh UA-cam even on a potato!
Great to see you back... not heard you on GEM either.
Aww - the Lethal Weapon Map theme right @ the start
Welcome back dooooood!!! - we missed ya
3:48 That’s the kind of upgraded console that I like. One that is faster than stock but is still that system at heart rather than something like an original xbox that has been internally replaced with modern gaming pc hardware running windows.
That's honestly magical
OhhhYes!!! What a great news. Was looking for that!!!
@13:40: you can also just press enter, then you dont need to click on "Send return"
Wow nice a Dan Wood video ! !!
I come from a small town in Poland called Zdunska Wola if you had an Amiga 500 in my town in 1990 you were a superstar. Some people did have them though and we would all go round to watch and play it. At that time the graphics and sound was the best you could get
Did you say one meg? That was great playback. Haven't heard CDXL in a minute. Thank you for sharing.
I loved my Amiga, My Tandy color computer 3, My Timex Sinclair and my Commodore 64 SX suitcase laptop model... I used them far past their shelf lives. I even bought one of those C64 retro deals and was planning on doing the mods to install my own software...
Then I realized. I do not miss these old systems, not one bit. I like the nostalgia, but I would much rather run an emulator or a rom, and I really dont miss doing that anymore.
But regardless of how I feel about old vintage computers... Great video! The browser that takes screenshots and send them from a remote server... Just wow. A lot of effort for like 12 people that use it.
That's quite impressive to see modern videos playable on such old hardware. I mean that's looking better than ie. Encarta videos, by the looks of it, and such from the exiting "multimedia days".
this takes me back i had this back in the day
Super impressive, indeed, for a machine of that era!
Had one. Loved it
I have to say that's actually pretty cool to see running on this.
Holy Dell! you're getting UA-cam working on a Amiga CD32!!
Great video, Dan :)
I must bust out my cd32. It may need new caps though
I remember when windows 95 launched. At the time I had a 486 SX 2-50Mhz. The demo videos that came with the CD was not even close to that. Bravo my friend.
Super high pitched sound in the background of the video mate. Thought I was crazy
I started browsing the web on an Amiga 1200 in 1997. No big problem back in the days
This is really neat!
Bravo Dan.
That looks freaking amazing
Blew me stinky socks off thanks for sharing props to the ami-devs.
I was checking out these ham video’s and the sliced ham technique. This last one uses the copper to build up images with lots of colours even on an amiga 500. But I haven’t seen anyone doing videos with this technique.
Nice work.
Amazing! Thank you😊
Crazy! I've owned C64, Amiga 600, 1200 and cd-32 when I was 5-8 yo. Great times ;)
Now that's a way to watch UA-cam! I always thought the picture quality isn't good enough on my modern systems.
I had that monitor.... Back in 1992 for both my amiga 500 and then a1200. Did me well. Must've been popular at the time.
that browse is very cool. forces you to spend time looking at the web with sense of wonder again. 😂
absolutely amazing.
brilliant as always, well done Dan. Hope you're still djing :)
Is there nothing our Amigas cannot do? Well done Dan. I must try this on my PiStorm equipped Amiga 1200!
Wow we’re really in the future today pulling old consuls out of the attic and make a new I thought HDMI mods were cool Great job
Welcome back 🎉
For real aesthetic purposes, imagine watching mid-90's anime on the Amiga.
Slayers!
Or outlaw star!
Last UA-cam sample was very impressive 😊
I think it has a certain charm, I love it...
That is playing way better than I expected. Way more colours and framerate.
Welcome back!
Absolutly Awesome!
Wow, that is really impressive.
only amiga makes it possible :) great video, loved it
WOW, how did I survive the 80s and 90s?
*if your not an amiga fan then something is wrong with you!!! Anything amiga is awesome! I miss those days! Great video as always!* 👍
I agree the amigas during the 80's and early 90's were quite amazing. However the amiga cd32 was not good at all. This is coming from someone who actually owned one(and still has it). There were a couple of decent games but I remember thinking the games were so badly ported from the PC or other consoles. Diggers and microcosm or whatever it was called were probably the games I enjoyed the most on the console.
The vid on the 32 looks pretty good and the aga ver you can see the difference.
Nice turntable!
This is out of this world 😮
great amiga, i can remeber we get a new HDD back in the 90. the PC cant read it, even not detect it... we put them into the Amiga 2000, and format it.. it takes hours :D but after the pc can read it :D
Very interesting!
