A1200 PAL vs NTSC

Will booting in NTSC mode not work for you ?

runequester: My PAL a1200 arrived today in the mail. Is there a bootfile I can  edit to select NTSC by default like an autoexec.bat without going into  bootmenu each time before going to CLI?
 
I really don't like the way these games sound.  I grew up with fast  tempo tracks like Outrun and Last Ninja, and it just does not sound good  to my ear in 50 fps PAL, the game play is smoother in 60 fps ntsc mode,  and I hate dicking around with my screen adjustment controls when pal  mode is active all the time.

Yup.

HOWEVER - Might I ask WHY you want the machine in NTSC mode? Unless you plan on doing genlock video work or hooking it up to a regular TV or similiar, I personally see no need for NTSC. Almost all the good software and certainly nearly all games are in PAL.

THANKS for the pin info !

Your games might be pal, but the majority of Killergorilla's collection is the ntsc version.  If your games are displaying a 2 inch black strip along the left border or the bottom of your games dont stretch to the bottom, your games are NTSC.  Its why so many youtube videos look ugly like this.  Plenty of old posts on the subject.

You are wrong.

if you edit s/whdload.prefs and add NTSC at the end of the file.  Your entire collection will then fill the screen without scrub pal borders and letterboxes.  Receieved my 1084s rgb the other day and MAN I absolutely love RGB you gotta get one.  They should be around $60-$80 on ebay.  Been going through many of my games and have not seen any tempo speedup like how WinUAE does from pal  to ntsc.
