Scandoublers
« on: March 04, 2018, 10:00:32 PM »
I've seen this topic come up a few times, and I've taken a few steps down this road myself.   I figured I'd throw this out there and see what other people are doing, and hopefully help me determine if I should just live with what I have.

Right now I have a PAL A1200 hooked up to my NTSC monitor through one of these:

Scart to HDMI Converter

It works, but it's very jittery.  The best way I can describe it is the edges of text and solid lines have a wobble to them.  It can be headache inducing if you look at it long enough.  

I've also tried this:

Ambery VGA Scan Doubler

And it just did not work well at all.   Some modes were totally unsupported (BC Kid, for example, just did not work).

So, my question is, am I better off getting the Indivision AGA MK2CR and using that?   Is there a better solution than than which wouldn't require amiga surgery?  Or should I stick with what I have?

Indivisions don't require "surgery". Pop them in and connect to almost any modern display device. Easy peasy. ;)


I'd still have to pull out the floppy drive to route the cable, right?

Also, goldfish mentioned (and I've seen the same comment elsewhere) that configuration is not that easy.   I'm willing to give it a shot though!
