A: Run a little proggy, such as PALboot, NTSCboot, Degrader, etc.
Hmm..
I didn't know about PALboot.. Will have to look into it..
(don't see it in aminet on first glance...)
Of course, I'm already booting, using ACATUNE to remap to KS 3.1, and rebooting. I assume that palboot will then AGAIN reboot my Amiga.
And then, if it's something I put into my startup sequence, will it detect that it's already in PAL or just reboot again and again.. I'll have to fin dit and check...
Even if palboot will work from startup sequence (and not loop), every time I power up my A1200, it's 3 boots?
I asked on EAB if they might add an option to ACATUNE for that (so I'd just have the one reboot), but they didn't respond, so I'm assuming it's not being considered..
If I'm going to be running PAL all the time, I wouldn't want to have to hold the mouse buttons down to choose it?
What I'm doing now is having to add "PAL" to every whdload icon, so the games run properly. To bad there's not (that I found) a global whdload setup. But even then, I have some non-whdload games that really want the A1200 in PAL.
I know there's a hardware hack to default my A1200 to PAL (Pin 31 or 32 of Alice or something..), but I haven't decided to go there yet...
It's too bad that PAL/NTSC couldn't be a "sticky" setting in the boot menu.
Or maybe make a custom kickstart ROM that defaults one way or the other?
It's not too difficult to toggle in software, I'd just like to minimize the toggling.. ;-)
