Dual Twin Commodore Arcade Combo !!

2 Commodore computers, a Commodore 64 and an Amiga 500, both connected to the same Bang & Olufsen MX 8000 CRT tv.
I simply just use the Beo4 remote to switch alternately between the C64 and the Amiga on the TV ;)

Now...it is time to do some great retrogaming over the summer ;)

While cleaning up the living room, I noticed this and immediately thought of this thread 😕

Hey that was my Amiga 500. At that time no PC had that power, graphic and sound. Still miss it.

Had a quick blast of gaming tonight, with Amiga CD32 connected to a Beovision 3. Using "just" S-VIDEO (could do RGB with SX1 expansion module) but it still looks gorgeous.

... and Simon the Sorcerer, still had my saved game in the CD32's NVRAM.

Hi lausvi,

Looks gorgeous your CD32 images, wow ;)

Got myself a new (retro) desktop system with a fully working Commodore Amiga 1000 connected with RGB to a Bang & Olufsen MX4000 CRT tv.

Looks like the Amiga 1000 is ready for work ;)

Hello,

i have mx 6000,7000 and 8000 at home.

but i wonder how good the beovision 3 is.

is it true that they have 100 hz tubes and because if this are not that good for Retro gaming?

thanks

Beovision 3 is a 100Hz and 16:9 aspect ratio so it might not be the perfect choise for retro gaming. But it's still a very nice set. I got mine from a B&O dealer for a very good price but most imporantly it was delivered and installed so I didn't need to carry it 😎

Hello,

Thank you.

What is the Problem with the 100 hz. does it make the Picture bad in that case.

What consoles did you Play with them?

thanks

Hi folks,

Here is a how to make a RGB to scart cable work and turn on that gorgeous slick looking arcade mode on your MX Model :)

thanks to Carsten for the heads up at https://www.facebook.com/Bang.Olufsen.Commodore/

In some cases the RGB to scart cable needs to be updated in order to make it work on more modern TV's.

On the Amiga scart site there is a total technical rundown on how to go about it:

The easy way is to buy a more modern and updated RGB to scart cable for your Amiga.

verified and working with Amiga 500 and Amiga 1000
