Difference between PAL/NTSC a1200?
« on: May 11, 2003, 10:42:26 AM »
If I use an NTSC monitor driver with my PAL A1200, will it output NTSC screens as good as an NTSC amiga?

I thought PAL mode was better on Amiga than NTSC!

NTSC Amigas are clocked at 7.14/14.28, while PAL-Amigas
are only 7.09/14.18. The NTSC-mode will still be quite near
to real NTSC and if you would use an NTSC-genlock (which
generates the clock for the Amiga), you would get 100% NTSC.

Back in those days before I had an GFX-card I had all my Amigas
set to NTSC (the A2000 even hard-soldered), cos I couldn't stand
50Hz. Was also quite nice with the A2024 momitor because 1024x800
looked much better than 1024x1024, had less flicker (60Hz) and
even saved valuable chipmem.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
