Talk:Commodore CDTV

message: I don't think the CDTV was ever called the "Amiga CDTV".  At most, it was the Commodore CDTV. Commodore intentionally avoided associating the CDTV with the Amiga (whether or not this was a good decision is/was a point of debate). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.117.101 (talk • contribs) 12:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the Amiga CDTV the world's first CD based home console, it seems highly probbible being that it was launched in March 1991, there should be a investgation, because I strongly belive, and strongly feel I have reason to belive, that this is the world's first 32 bit game console. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool

replies: text: The PC Engine had CD in 1988 (called Turbosomething CD in the US). I do not believe the CDTV was marketed as a console, but if it beat the CD-I to marked it would be the first "68K based consumer oriented device with CD hardware" --Anss123 (talk) 02:11, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Emulated an IBM faster than a real IBM".  The fastest IBM compatible PC in 1991 was the 486DX CPU.  The fastest hardware PC emulator for the Amiga ever used a Cyrix 486SLC CPU which was slower than any 486DX CPU.  Software emulators running on a plain MC68000 CPU were dismally slower, even slower than the original IBM PC released in 1981. So I don't see how that is possible in any scenario. 84.49.75.226 (talk) 11:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

text: Well, it's entirely possible it's an A3/4000 keyboard that has been modded to work with the CDTV and the casing has been painted, but they didn't do the keys because it's a bit of a chore to do every single key to invert the colours from white key/black letter to vice-versa.  I know it's probably possible, since I've seen CDTV keyboards that have been modded to work with the CD32. 84.49.75.226 (talk) 11:27, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: The World's first CD-based home console?

message: It is quite unusual for an article like this one to not specify how many distinct colors the system has, how many of them it can display simultaneously, sound and music capabilities and all the other data you can find with the other old computer/console wikipedia articles. --217.232.227.9 (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Screen resolution? Number of colors? etc. etc.? 

message: I'm not going to pore over every bit of back-and-forth between regular editors of this page and the recent sockpuppet edits by an anon (I think some discussion about it on this page was even redacted).  I've done a minor cleanup pass on the page, and made some tweaks – sometimes for, sometimes against the positions held by that party – in accordance with WP:MOS, MOS:NUM, and just WP:Common sense or WP:BETTER, however you want to look at it. I hope these are sufficient to resolve the matter (or matters).  Please be assured that the attempts to WP:CANVASS me and various others at our user talk pages to side with the anon were recognized for what they were, and that it also became clear that the anon's understanding of MOS:TENSE, etc., was faulty.  I did actually find two sentences (in the lead and the first section) with tense problems: When discussing the device as a thing in and of itself – which still exists and is still tinkered with by hobbyists – we use present tense; when discussing its development history, marketing, public reaction, etc., which are events that happened in the past, we use past tense. I've inserted an HTML comment to this effect to hopefully forestall any future editwarring about the matter.  Also did some general MOSNUM formatting cleanup, and linked some technical terms, and removed a gross pile of redundancy and blather about acronyms. Toodles.   — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  04:37, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: PS: Also cleaned up the tech specs table (mostly for the WP:ACCESSIBILITY problem that it wasn't using list markup for lists), and made the lead better summarize what this thing is instead of it being mysterious unless you read the entire article.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  05:07, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

text: Pinging previous editors who reverted the anon's rather scattershot changes, since I reinstated a few of them in some form, while leaving many sensibly undone.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  01:10, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
