In reality I dont think Yaqube's 60Hz mod really makes an NTSC minimig. It cannot because to do so you would have to  change the main MiniMig crystal (which is by default a PAL crystal). It's just a hack.


You're right, it doesn't.  I've used it and I've run PAL software with no "clipping" of the screen like a real NTSC Amiga does.

It is probably much worse. Yaqube's hacks, combined with MiniMig's original bugs combined with some of the traditional NTSC Amiga incompatibility :-(


No be perfectly honest, I tested a hell of a lot of software with Dennis' 50Hz core and then with Yaqube's 60Hz core and found no games that would work on one but not the other.

Unfortunately I only received my updated PIC from Amikit a few days before I had to return to work in Brazil and I haven't had a chance to test Dennis' latest core to see if any of the failed games will work.

I'm also looking forward to Yaqube's new core with ADF write support for more testing.
