New to Amiga.Org AND Amigas

[Maximillian]

Hello!

I had obtained a PAL Amiga 500 and as of right now I am going to have to get some things to hook it up to my TV. Since I live in America. :lol:

Anyway, I plan to get a PAL to NTSC converter, and hope that my TV will accept the 50Hz signal.

I also am looking out for upgrades for it, mainly memory because I think it only has 512k

Welcome
IIRC modern televisions accept both signals, so check your tv specs first before spending any money!

Okay, I will give it a check.

Out of interest, what made you decide to get an Amiga?

Very good question, which deserves a very good answer.

I have high interests in old school gaming just as I am current gaming.

Every time I turn on my old DOS machines I admire the old graphics on the CRT screens...

I in general like old computers especially, and thanks to a review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVZrL4k1los

On the Amiga 500... as well as Fire & Ice for the Amiga 500, I was really interested in getting one.

I chose the PAL Amiga 500 due to more popular games. I do plan for some upgrades to help it out, but it's real purpose will be for games for me.

Here in the U.S. (where the OP lives), you are NOT going to find a modern TV capable of handling 15khz signals sitting on a shelf at some retailer. Europe you're more likely to, but we're gypped that way.

Isn't the 15KHz signal only on RGB output? I thought the adapter that plugs into there that does Composite and RF out makes it 50/60Hz ? :confused:

I notice a couple of you mentioned the Indivision. I noticed they done away with the external (why I don't know), but they have the internal.

Are there any instructions as to installing it into the Amiga 500?


As far as getting a Amiga RGB monitor, I have to take a look to find one of them.
