The Commodore Amiga CDTV Review - Episode 132

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast, we are welcoming a new friend into the lab! A shiny Commodore CDTV! Join me as I tell you it's story and how I got her working well again, and we will explore what she can do and take a peek at some of the software. And guess what. It is NOT an Amiga 500 with a CD-ROM...

Amiga 1200 Playing back the #AmigaArtContest 2022 video! (Using AGABlaster)

 I use the awesome AGAconv and AGABlaster software to play back the #AmigaArtContest intro video. This is on my Amiga 1200 with my Blizzard 040 card, but it plays back just great on a 68030 too. 

Only Amiga makes it possible!

Here is my original AGABlaster review and tutorial. I need to update it!

The Newtek Digiview Review for the Amiga - Episode 128

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the wonderful DigiView Gold from Newtek! Join me as we capture some fun images and go over how this marvelous device worked. Thanks to my friends from Pintz and Amiga for the gift!

And yes, I am aware that the images were all captured at 16:9 aspect ratio. That is what this capture card does, and I can't seem to change it. I may go back to an old one, as I think it captured in 4:3 OK.

You need to follow Pintz and Amiga! Check the out on Twitch.
