 Do you know if the Timex Sinclair 2068 = 48K or 128K Spectrum? (Hardware is, AFAIK, the same other than increased memory on the latter) |

The 128k has much better audio, it's equipped with the AY.

Thanks for the link. So it turns out that it is an enhanced version of the 48K Spectrum

To make the games "region free" would mean that the programmer ensures their software is tested and working on both PAL and NTSC. Typically they only test it in the format that they use so this is confused with region locked. Not the case at all.

At first I was thinking "no", but maybe the custom chips actually get their differences in scan lines depending on the crystal frequency used. Last edited by modrobert; 29 October 2018 at 22:20. |

With ECS/AGA it is possible to switch between what the Amiga erroneously calls PAL and NTSC in software (eg Early Startup Menu in KS 2.04+, or WHDLoad).
Additionally a switch can be installed. |

Pretty sure an A500 fatter agnus can be setup as Pal/Ntscwith a boot disk.
I used to do it back in the day with my A500 |

You should then be able to fire the Amiga up again, this time in the other "region" using the other chips
