WTB: Flicker fixer for A500
« on: August 19, 2011, 02:08:33 PM »
Doing a little tweaking and peaking on my spare A500 and am in the market for a flicker fixer/scandoubler.

I know about Amigakit's Indivision unit, but am wondering is this fully compatible with the A500?

The Indivision ECS works PERFECT with the A500. I have it on mine.  

Biggest issue is where to put the VGA plug.  I extended the cable a few inches and placed it on the far right.  

Works nice with VGA CRT/LCD.  The ability to play and use PAL games with a properly centered screen that does not run at 50hz is GREAT.  

Highly recommended.

@omnicron10:

That's the sort of information I was looking for!  Thanks!!!

@Tension:

See omnicron10's comment.  So I can run a modern LCD and not have to worry about my 1084 dying on me!

YES!  And the display does not need to support 50hz refresh for PAL...

There is also a software tool that allows you to enable CRT look on a LCD to make the old games look a lot like they did on the 1084.  They are almost too clear sometimes.

Thanks Amigakit!
