A Few A570 Questions

Does Xenon 2 CDTV work on the A570?

Is there any way of putting normal Amiga 500 floppy games onto a CD to play from the A570?

Can anyone recommend buying one?

Cheers in advance.

Yes (I think you need KS1.3)

An A500+ with 2Mbyte Chip RAM and a A570 2Mbyte Fast RAM upgrade from Nicolas Welte and then you'll be able to play ANY OCS/ECS floppy game from CD using WHDload

No, a GVP HD8+ is a better buy. 8Mbyte RAM upgrade with 30 pin SIMMS, hard drive controller, optional external SCSI CDROM.

Cheers for that Alex.

Might give it a miss.

So is it safe to say a good % of the titles that were made for CDTV don't work on the A570? I grabbed Turrican Trillogy and I think I'm going to have to play it on my Amiga 4000. Haven't yet gotten a cd drive for that and wondering which is best. I need to be able to play both CDTV and CD32 titles of course so I'm getting full use out of the deal. Still I have a strange attachment to A500's I guess because it was the first thing I ever had that really had the games going for it. Also it was my first computer. The only game I own period at this moment that's Ami-CD is Turrican Trillogy. I have Turrican 2 and maybe 1 somewhere too for my A500 floppy, but was hoping this would be compatible with the A570, but compatibility lists seem to say indeed it is not. CDTV screen goes red as says in the instructions when you got a disc in that isn't bootable. Though you can see the icons for all 3 turrican games in Workbench, an attempt to double click on them gives you an error something like "can't open iconX 205." Anyone who has an A570 please elaborate on if there's a way with software to make it play some of those games that are for some reason incompatible with it. I already figured out that I can download and burn stuff to it, which brings me much joy
