Title: WTB: Flicker fixer for A500
Post by: curtis on August 19, 2011, 02:08:33 PM
Doing a little tweaking and peaking on my spare A500 and am in the market for a flicker fixer/scandoubler.

I know about Amigakit's Indivision unit, but am wondering is this fully compatible with the A500?

You could say that about this whole hobby.

The Indivision ECS works PERFECT with the A500. I have it on mine.  

Biggest issue is where to put the VGA plug.  I extended the cable a few inches and placed it on the far right.  

Works nice with VGA CRT/LCD.  The ability to play and use PAL games with a properly centered screen that does not run at 50hz is GREAT.  

Highly recommended.

@omnicron10:

That's the sort of information I was looking for!  Thanks!!!

@Tension:

See omnicron10's comment.  So I can run a modern LCD and not have to worry about my 1084 dying on me!

YES!  And the display does not need to support 50hz refresh for PAL...

There is also a software tool that allows you to enable CRT look on a LCD to make the old games look a lot like they did on the 1084.  They are almost too clear sometimes.
