How did the later Amigas support both NTSC & PAL? It would be nice if both were supported within one unit.

Some games were NTSC only, others were PAL only. PAL screens have slightly higher vertical resolution than NTSC. If you want to play games they way that they were originally indended, supporting both is best.

A RGB to S-Video/composite encoder onboard could also be added, like the one I posted on the EAB.  It can do both NTSC and PAL. ;)


That's a good idea. S-Video gives much better quality than composite. Having both expands options.

@Piru

So extending MiniMig to the ECS chipset is what's required. Any hardware changes that you can think of? It sounds like this could be added with just Verilog code.
