@Mikidi - nope, but that's a machine which could actually play that well while many PCs of that era still only had pc speaker so... 1 bit audio. Like Borat used to say "Great success!"

He ain't wrong about paula being pretty old tech in 92 and certainly old af in 93.

But we can speculate on what would likely have happened if the timeline diverged at some point. The A1200 was developed from the A600. Without the A600 it's unlikely that we would see the A1200 as we know it. Going back further, if Jack Tramiel hadn't left Commodore it's unlikely that the Amiga would have existed as we know it, if at all. That point in time is when Commodore's suffering started, which is why I say they had to suffer for us to get the A1200. If we ignore reality there are an infinite number of possibilities, some more plausible than others. But dwelling on them is silly. The only 'what if' I am interested in is what we might be able to do with what we have. With today's technology there are many cost-effective possibilities. However as the A1200 is a retro computer I am more interested in what might have been achievable 'back in the day', but using the knowledge and tools we have today. I have a spare A1200 motherboard that I want to put to some use. My first goal is to put it in a case. But not an A1200 case since I already have one of those. I am thinking a pizza box case like the A1000+ was going to have. I will install a RAM board with disable switch so it can be a stock machine or with FastRAM - useful for evaluating performance of both setups and playing games that don't like my Blizzard 1230-IV. I have an A2000 keyboard to use with it. In the box I will have a 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive and possibly a CD-ROM drive. This machine would represent what Commodore might have produced if the AA chipset had been ready in time to go into the A1000+ that Joe Augenbraun was designing. That's a plausible scenario for a better CD32. If AA/AGA was out in 1991 then AGA+ could have been out in 1992, and the 'CD32' (or whatever they called it) would have it. With enough sales it might even have gotten Doom in 1994! Last edited by Bruce Abbott; 18 May 2024 at 10:21. |

Amiga and its hardware/OS potential as a mixed gaming/productivity machine was raped by the incompetency of the commodore management by not investing in the machine and several useless taken directions

a) it is obviously stereo (did you even listen to it???) b) this is indeed the output of Paula in "14bit mode" What are you trying to archive here? You ask questions, but don't want to hear the answer. You make wrong clams and do not accept corrections. Did you just come here to troll? |

Of course Paula is old - but same old was Soundblaster on PC (still uncommon in 1992) - compare Paula to Covox (relatively cheap so it could be considered as standard PC audio device) alternatively there is PC beeper . |
