New KickStarter? Maybe with a Vampire V4 Standalone inside it would be fun!

Is the Vampire 64bit though ?. AmigaOS is not 64bit so not the best of names I feel.

I would still like to see Vampire in one of these

There is no '64-bit' designator like the '32-bit' one on the CD32s CD-drive lid. I think some artistic license with the CD64 name representing the successor to the CD32 would be tolerated IMHO!

@amigang

It should be Amiga DVD64 or Amiga blu64 or dreaming even more Amiga HVD64

I think the term 'Compact Disc' is used interchangeably to describe optical discs of all forms colloquially so I'd stick with CD-64 myself.

It has a 64-bit extension to my knowledge. It also has AMMX which should be 128-bit. But real Amiga games bang the hardware so it shouldn't matter that AmigaOS is only 32-bit.

@Hypex

AmigaTwo LOL that name should not be copyrighted for a court battle lol

It seems like a project of Phoenixconsoll beacuse:

1. It has a CD Rom, something other people would call outdated.
2. It could have a 64 bit RasPI 3b+ inside running 64Bit Linux with an Amiga emulator and AROS hosted.

Curious this got posted on April 1st.

Yes April fools sorry guys, but still I think a little unit like this might do well if market correctly and was cheap.

How much would it cost to make?

Depends on how to approach the solution. I can imagine something like this with some UAE in an optimized Raspbian image should not cost more than a slot-in Blu-ray drive, added with the cost of buying the fastest Raspberry-clone available and some 3D-printed case. Oh and a USB-power-supply, SD-card and some controllers. I think some 200-ish Euros and loads of hours should get you close to owning it.

Raspberry pi 3 = £35
Usb slot loading drive = £15
USB hub with power & cables for pi & drive = £20 ish
microsd 8gb with Aimberry setup with cd32 emulation = £5
£75

case either
3d printed and paint = Around £80 to £100 for something this size

home made wood/plastics/glue = £20 to £50 maybe

so you could do for most likly sub £100

bit more Pro made would cost £200

indieGO console is basically all based around emulated console with dvd drive he charges £300 and is making indieGO xs which is looking pretty good small similar system https://twitter.com/indieGOretro/

maybe for £400 we could make the CD64 a reality.

the indieGO is just 300 because you get an Hardware upgrade path (swapping board around christmas)

@phoenixkonsole

yes what Im saying is you could take my CD64 idea, charge maybe an extra £100 to make the custom case and you have yourself a CD64 for £400.

I am guessing that you have a 3D model.

Designing and (probably) 3D-printing the case should not be too difficult when using a slot-loader optical-drive. It takes away the need for designing moving-parts (like the lid on the CD32). Even if you want some LEDs on a custom PCB should not break the bank.


Just come to think of it, the april's fool could turn into a nice idea.

In that case BD64 then. Or BR64 but in use I've only seen BD.

However discs are outdated and can be slow. Amiga RD64. 64-bit RomDisc.

LOL. Well AmigaTwo does sound like a sequel. Perhaps a prequel and the AmigaZero is in order?
