If you live in the UK you can buy CD32 Gamer, which includes an
FLI viewer on its CD each month...

FLI files are a PC format, similar to our AMIM file format, you
certainly can view the FLI files, but unless you have an upgraded
CD32 they will be pretty slow...

I RECOMMEND:

CD32 + SX1 or SX32
at least 4Mb Fastram

and it should work perfick...


Nice One!!
