NTSC CD32 in UK

daznic · 07 April 2009, 09:15

Hi all,
I`m looking for a CD32 and noticed the brand new from China ones on Ebay.
Anyone had any experience with these ?
Will I have any problems using one in the UK ?
I presume I will need to change the power supply, but what about region problems ?

Cheers.

If your TV is not multi-standard all outputs (rf, composite and SVideo) will be B&W and there is no RGB!

While I do not think there are region problems, some games are unplayable due to reduced screen area.

I purchased one of the Chinese NOS Amiga CD32 [NTSC] units from Seller's ID: amyyin589 near the beginning of 2007. It was a flawless transaction and the unit arrived in the USA in under a week from China.

The unit was double boxed and the only sign of wear on the original Commodore box were creases where the lid had been opened to allow the seller to slip in a few promo discs. The unit and contents itself were in new condition as described in the auction listing.

I'd chance another transaction with a Chinese seller with positive feedback if I had another $120 to blow on a NOS CD32.

Good Luck!!!

Do these fix the colour issue?

Can you put the console into PAL like on a regular Amiga?

I think he's talking about the both-mouse-button early start-up selection.

Is there such a thing for CD32 ROM? Can you use the JoyPad to activate?

You use the mouse, just like other miggys
