How to run PAL games and demos in colour?

[desiv]

I got a 1084S, but am trying to find a solution so I don't have to depend upon it should it some day die. Besides it is kinda huge and is just awkward to have sitting out amongst my other gear.

That's precisely why I got a GBS-8200 and made a cable.
Have my A1200 on that now.
Although my A500 and A1000 have their 1084s monitors...

Deskspace be damned, they've earned it!!  ;-)

How did you modify your GBS-8200 to work with the Amiga's 23 pin port?

I desoldered the DB23 from an A520 I had and soldered the wires to it.
It's only 5 wires, so even I could do it.  ;-)
I have ordered a "real" DB23 to make it a better / cleaner connection.

Also do the pixels flicker in Laced screen modes, do you experience color loss, etc. etc.?

I've only just hooked it up, so it's hard to tell..
I have noticed some flickering of pixels, but it's not always there...
That's one of the reasons I ordered a DB23, as my current solder job is really bad.
I'll let you know after I fix that up...

I haven't noticed any color loss, but I'd probably have to try swapping cables to one of my 1084s monitors to really test it..

For $30 or so tho, I'm not complaining! :-)  I'm not expecting an Indivision at that price. ;-)

Also, you flipped the NTSC/PAL switch (or jumper depending on the version) of Amigamaniacs adapter?
Did you adjust the variable resistor?  (If your model has one)

I know I got PAL games to run in color from my NTSC Amiga using Amigamaniac's adapter, but I'm not sure I was ever toggling the Amiga to PAL mode..
