Is it possible to boot into PAL mode on an NTSC A500?
I have a rev 6a A500 and when I hold down the mouse buttons at boot I get the Amiga Early Startup Control screen. On this screen I can change the display options to PAL, or press a key to switch to PAL, but these don't appear to affect how the machine actually boots.
Is it possible to get the slightly higher resolution of PAL on this machine? |

Yes... I'm a n00b...
Found the Overscan and ScreenMode preferences programs. Now I've got a 718x280 desktop. Not a lot bigger, but every bit helps. |

I guess you could put the 'PAL' file from the storage disk in the devs:Monitors drawer. Afterwards you should be able to select PAL screenmodes in the Workbench preferences without switching to PAL in the Early Startup menu.
