Chameleon Special Accessory Offers AmigaKit.com

[gaula92]

Hello there, AmigaKit guys!

I've got several products from you in the past (like my Minimig + memory expansion, A1200, etc), and this one looks very tempting!

But I have some questions before I fall for it:

-Your specs page says it displays at 60HZ or more: is it unable to display PAL-50HZ games then? Most C64 & Amiga games are 50HZ after all. I have several monitors supporting Minimig 50Hz modes, so it's possible to display those modes on modern LCDs as you already know

-How well does it simulate SID? Does it include filters?

-Does the Amiga beta core have a joystick emulation mode with keyboard?

That's all, folks.

I also read that group, but I didn't find any clear answers to my questions either.
It seems "there's frame conversion", so it seems 50HZ games are displayed at 60HZ with tearing (not matching framerate/screenrefresh) wich is not what I want.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

In one of his messages, Jens states that there is no smooth 50hz to 60hz conversion and there is no flickerfixer either.  Both for the same reason: There is not enough bandwidth available in the design.

I have 3 1084S monitors sitting here so I have no 50hz problems.   WOOPS!  The Chameleon hardware promotes the video output to 31.5 Khz so I can't use my 1084S monitor with it unless there is a way to disable the promotion.

But I DON'T WANT a conversion: I want 50HZ VGA modes , just like the Minimig does.
I'm still confused: Is there 50HZ for PAL games? I don't mind about framerate conversions, I want the original framerates (at 31Khz, just like the Minimig once more).

No one has tried this Chamaleon C64 & Amiga with native video output at 50HZ?
All I need is to confirm it's smooth-scroll capable when running PAL games/demos at 50HZ...

Hi,

I had planned to spend some time with Jens discussing the Chameleon.
However never got time at replay 2011. I have started playing around with Chameleon myself, so I will talk to Jens and find out for you.

Hey thanks! Keep me informed

@F0LLET: Did you find out if the Chamaleon offers smooth scroll in PAL games with a 50HZ video mode? You have one yourself, if I got you right, so it's a matter of seconds to test

[gaula92]

@AmigaKit: Can I assume I'll get smooth scroll in Amiga mode in the same monitor where I get smooth scroll in a Minimig 1.1 board? (The one sold by you)

bump!
