I just bought this item. Does anybody know anything about it? If the Babelfish translation makes sense, the unit does power up.

Looks like a licensed clone - theres no commodore badge I hope you post more about it when you get it.

endre1952 · 20 December 2011, 16:05

Yahoo! Babel Fish sounds more like "Unit powers up, but was not tested any further"

I will post more info about it when I get it.

I'm going to remove the commodore badge on mine and put ohmygibs.free.fr instead ^^

Hummm... I read long ago an on-line article about a 3th party CD32 developed in china inside a CDTV case... I thought it was my imagination since I've nefer found anymore info when I searched information years later, but seeing this I'm quite sure that it was not any dream.

Vesalia also sold JOS CDTV IR remotes a while back, not seen a JOS CDTV though. O_O Cool find!

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 15:22

I got it today. The CD caddy is missing, so I haven't been able to test the CD-ROM drive yet, but floppy loading does work from an external drive with an SD-card based floppy emulator inside.

It's definitely an Amiga! NTSC, has Kickstart 1.3. Software switching to PAL works.

I can post pictures or anything, if someone is interested.

Retro1234 · 29 February 2012, 19:01

id be interested I was just thinking today what happened about this

You would think some Japanese software existed ?

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 19:08

I have no idea if Japanese software exists.

I will take some photos soon.

This is my first CDTV ever (I do own a PAL CD32), however, this version doesn't seem to have a keyboard connector. Fortunately, the usual 23-pin RGB video port is present. I'm using the official CDTV remote I got off the web.

I could make a dump of the kickstart ROM I guess...

T_hairy_bootson · 29 February 2012, 21:16

Is there any difference in the CDTV extended roms? Japanese language etc?

I cant imagine the kickstart roms would be different.

The CDTV requires a different keyboard, its a standard mini din but it is wired differently so a regular amiga keyboard wont work with an adapter.

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 21:31

I think you're right, the kickstart roms must be the same.

When you see photos of this particular CDTV unit, you will recognize the keyboard connector is missing (not broken, never built into the device). There are only composite, S-VHS and 23-pin RGB video ports, stereo RCA audio connectors, a disk drive port, a serial and a parallel port.

cpiac64 · 29 February 2012, 21:49

the cdtv have 2 port similar s-vhs but one is for keyboard and the other for remote

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 21:52

There is "S-VIDEO out" written under the one that looks like an S-VHS port...

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 22:01

I was wrong. The ports are there, they were just covered by a piece of paper. The midi in and out ports as well. However, there is actually an S-VIDEO OUT port.

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 22:03

You know what, it just looks like a modified American CDTV. The Commodore logo may have been replaced after the unit was built as well.

But -- I'm happy to own a CDTV, provided that the CD-ROM drive actually works...

endre1952 · 29 February 2012, 22:18

Can I connect an NTSC CDTV to a 220V wall outlet? I've been using a 110V transformer and it works that way. Would I blow the device?

cpiac64 · 29 February 2012, 22:30

the psu is a switching and normally function 110 and 220 volt and 50/60 hertz, but read if write the tension input under or rear

p.s.
i have sale a cd caddy for 5 € yesterday, sorry

You can see that some of the ports were hidden for some reason...
