You would have to modify your hardware for that but this makes troubles with some PAL games.

The line are normal for this kind of scandoubler because the running mode is not 100% compatible with your TFT.

so does that mean when I am in NTSC mode, PAL games wont run, or run correctly?

Anyone know if the new indivision will have the same problem with the vertical lines? or is this due to the tft not having support for the resolution being used (rather than the output frequency (60hz))

Do you have a hard drive? If so you can change your workbench->prefs->ScreenMode to NTSC 60Hz so it will always boot up without having to use the early startup sequence.

NOTE: If NTSC does not appear in your list of ScreenModes then you will have to move the NTSC monitor settings from workbench->storage->monitors to workbench->devs->monitors

If you use WHDload you'll be able to change the tooltype for each game ICON (or once in the global prefs) to include NTSC (get rid of PAL if it is already there) and they will all start and run in 60Hz and thus be compatible with your monitor.

If you dont have a hard drive, and you use floppy disks... you're a bit screwed. You should invest in one (or an internal IDE->CF adapter and a CF card).

As for the vertical lines... have you tried changing the Pixel Clock & Phase settings using the menu on your monitor? Try Auto Adjust first.

Say, when you use these internal scandoublers, are you forced to ditch the upper RF shielding? I've been considering the new Indivision 1200 and this would be useful information, when making the decision.
