Pal Mode on a NTSC 2000
« on: September 06, 2004, 11:37:01 PM »
I have a NTSC Amiga 2000 (6.x MB) with 3.1 roms(40.63KS) and ECS Agnus and Denise chips. I want to be able to boot in PAL mode via the Startup options available by holding both mouse buttons down while booting. I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work. Is this possible on a 2000 ? The main reason is a lot of the games available from BTTR are in PAL mode.

I can toggle between PAL/NTSC by hitting a key, I set the display to PAL, but when I boot from a floppy it goes back to NTSC (missing lower part of screen on PAL games). I am wondering if it has something to do with the way my FusionForty accelerator boots the machine.

@TjLaZer

I found the program SwitchInst130.lha on the Aminet. I think this is the program you were talking about. It lets you install a PAL or NTSC switch to the bootblock.

Thanks for the lead, it has solved my problem.
