NTSC to PAL ...what's next?
i got an NTSC amiga to output in PAL for games that needed it
...but on a regular CRT TV, there's the dreaded constant flicker. what are all options from cheapest to most expensive? can i feed a composite video cable from an NTSC amiga into some generic "scan doubler" allowing me to play PAL games on a "north american" TV? not a big expert on this so if anyone can help i'd appreciate it! *edit obviously a scan doubler will solve one problem and not the flicker issue. are there signal specific A520 modulators? oh, i don't care for monitors. i'd rather view output on TV with UHF & composite video inputs, in the same tradition as vintage arcade machines

also you can get a NTSC'A520 modulator and will work but I don't recommend that |

Pal A520
 Indeed there are PAL A520's... in fact I have 4 I am thinking of selling... I am in need of more NTSC type, as I am down to my last one...lolAnd yes, they work perfect for PAL games... so long as your monitor/TV is capable of PAL display. It gives you hardware PAL output, to hardware PAL input. You can write me if ya need more info: trborealis@yahoo.com Hope this was helpful... All The Best... Borealis™ ;^) -V,,

potential stupid question alert! remember, i have a NTSC machine which i'm able to throw out a PAL signal from time to time, courtesy of Aminet tools. and it's definitely PAL since my screen is rolling vertically on a north american TV. so how do you know what type of modulator you have? what effect does a regional specific modulator has on an A500 i'm confused. |

ok i think i understand but feel free to correct me.
a modulator, depending on which one you have, alters the display ratio/resolution and has nothing to do with modifying a signal? ...may explain why i'm able to still view vertical rolling on a north american TV after converting the NTSC signal to PAL?

I'm pretty sure it does alter it in some manner. If you were using straight composite, then forget it, there's definitely going to be a flicker if you're using an ntsc machine on a pal television. I'm not sure what else to say about it, I wish I could be of more help to you. Hope everything works out for you
