Re: What is the most difficult thing on the Amiga?

I agree that the flickering was and IS the biggest problem with the amiga.
 
I have a 1200 sitting here with an accellerator. I got amigamaniac's rgb to svideo adapter, then an svideo to vga adapter, which worked okay for awhile, but the svideo to vga adapter died.
 
Indievision 1200 is a great solution but no one knows when they will be sold again, so my 1200 sits here on a 1084 just playing video games with it. If I had a flicker fixer, it would see an awful lot more use. My eyes can't take the flickery screen modes on the 1084.
 
Are there any more off the shelf solutions to to getting a flicker fixer that actually work? I may buy an lcd tv with svideo inputs, I hear that works great with amiga maniac's rgb to svideo adapter.
 
I'm beginning to think just running a dedicated pc with amigaos/winuae as the windows shell is just a better way to deal with amiga. At least its easier, and certainly it is faster... AND DEFINITELY CHEAPER!

I only see the A4000 or ECS one listed, so yeah that sucks.
 
I think I may order a pcmcia cf reader, then just transfer my 2500 amiga games on this 1200 to a dedicated amiga emulation pc, running windows only as backbone, but booting straight to os3.9. This will work, so long as I can get joysticks and internet working, I'll have a much more capable computer to do more than games on.
