[roy bates]

I use a DVI 2 HDMI Cable and the results are pratically the same as you show on your video, or is there a more significant diference that i can't see?

It's the same thing, so your not going to see any difference. Kipper2K's solution can be claimed to be neater, as he stuffed the audio in to the HDMI cable, however, it introduces a failure-point on the other end, where the audio is extracted again. I use a DVI-HDMI adapter for testing against my TV, and a DVI-VGA adapter for testing against the same TV, and a IBM CRT monitor. Only the IBM CRT works, at this point.

B!

[paulo_becas]

So the diference is the audio... and the jacks on the amiga, still work with this adapter?
I like to have a good pair of speakers connected to the amiga instead of having the sound on the TV.

It doesn't create a failure point as the audio can simply be taken from the original audio jacks. it is just an optional hookup to reduce wiring from the back of the Amiga. Using an original HDMI cable will not even include the audio as the cable itself needs to be modified

I was refering to where the audio is extracted from your (or someone's home made) custom cable. If the joining point of the cable isn't a failure-point, then what is, ever.
Again, as said, hardly something critical.

They are untouched.

Your still going to have to hook the sound to something, the sound isn't a part of the stream over the HDMI cable, Kipper2K just selected a pair of unused wires, and made them available to the user, so they can hook the audio up inside the Amiga. It saves you a cable from the Amiga, and over to the media corner where the TV, and stereo are, but you still need to hook the sound up the same way you would if you had drawn a separate cable for the sound. It's all about neatness.

"bulk" means that boxes were shipped flat and the contents were wrapped in protective foil only, which saves lots of space. It does NOT mean that any of the contents were omitted; all contents were shipped to resellers in full quantity. Only one exception: The shipment to AmigaKit was made before the English manual was available, and the agreement was that they will print the manual when packing the flickerfixers. According to tracking, the English manual was available before the first shipment arrived in Cardiff.

You've all paid the same price, and you all deserve the retail packing, as it is part of the product. I can see that prices in auction houses are higher if the original packing is included and in good shape. Please contact your reseller if you did not get the retail packing. Also, please think economically: don't just request the box, but keep your request on file until you order next time. It would be a waste to ship an empty box, and the thought of "community" includes not to insist on your right, but also to view things from the other side. Vesalia and AmigaKit are part of the community, so please think and act economically, so they can continue their support for all of us.

Whoops!

Sorry Jens/Amigakit, it wasn't meant to be taken 'seriously' as it did come in a 'box' just not an Indi box. I did indeed get what I paid for, including the manual, so Amigakit did a fantastic job of getting that sorted and delivered so just don't take my comment too seriously Also, Amigakit do not need to explain why it was shipped like it was, the main thing is it arrived, it works and it rocks!!

If I recall, amigakit answered the box question over on Amibay.
Some people commenting here also talked in same thread, but have'nt posted here with regards to why it was shipped like that.

FOL, forget it mate, it's only a box

[Retrofan]

Yep, it's only a box, and all are the same. I have 4 I think, all the same.

Amigakit I've heard some things about the sales (that's why I ask), and that kind of things make people wonder if you've sold so much that you have to search for boxes.
I know no seller likes numbers, so I just would like to know if it's going:

"What are they waiting for?"
"As expected"
"More than expected" or
"Incredible, we can close the shop now"

lol, the last one would be great, maybe alter to "Incredible, we can now retire to some exotic country".
