I think I'd prefer to use an A1200 and play CD32 games off the HDD ;-)


Thank you! Smartest reply EVER!

I see your point. I should be looking at purchasing an amiga 1200 with some kind of mod that allows it to display on a ntsc television instead of a cd32. do I go for a pal or ntsc 1200 model? are there compatibility issues for games between the two much like the cd32? I appreciate all the help and advcie guys

I should also mention that I have a newish tv with a scart hookup at the back. will I just be able to plug a uk amiga 1200 into my tv straight up?

Last I checked the problem remains the same on the A1200 as the CD32, is well.....because they are the same. You see, the CD32 IS an Amiga 1200 without keyboard. That is why I call my  A1200 A console IT IS BECAUSE IT IS.

I didn't know you could get a SCART TV here in Canada. Since your in Canada it would probably be cheaper to get an NTSC 1200 (change it to PAL by holding down two buttons, sort of).

I live in Canada and I get a european Amiga 1200, in fact the motherboard comes sweetly from the UK. It starts as default as beautiful PAL and runs ALL the Amiga app/games and I solved it by getting this beautiful...sexy...sweet color producing, high end quality images with awesome steroe sound Commodore 1084s and my problem is solved.
 
I get to enjoy it fully....yeah baby!!
 
But everytime I turn my machine on I have to keep holding the mouse button to switch from NTSC to PAL and it is not even real PAL is not something I want to do. Even then there is compatibility issue with games as such games are smart enough to want the REAL PAL machine.
