I live in Canada and I get a european Amiga 1200, in fact the motherboard comes sweetly from the UK. It starts as default as beautiful PAL and runs ALL the Amiga app/games and I solved it by getting this beautiful...sexy...sweet color producing, high end quality images with awesome steroe sound Commodore 1084s and my problem is solved.
I get to enjoy it fully....yeah baby!!
But everytime I turn my machine on I have to keep holding the mouse button to switch from NTSC to PAL and it is not even real PAL is not something I want to do. Even then there is compatibility issue with games as such games are smart enough to want the REAL PAL machine.
I used to have a 1084s until it died a couple of years ago (now have a Dell flat screen). Back in the day (1995) I had hundreds of games, but most were the NTSC versions, I only had a dozen or so that needed to be booted into PAL mode. Now if you download a game you seem to be more likely to get a PAL version.
