- Hi.
-
- 1. What is the impact on my Amiga 3000 (PAL), if changing it into an NTSC
- system by selecting jumpers accordingly.
-
- - I am using an NTSC Hi-Res screen for my workbench. Does the screen
- size change when changing my PAL Amiga into an NTSC Amiga?
-
- - Does this change imply *any* incombatibility with existing software?
- (system conform software and games with direct access to the hardware)
-
- 2. Is the setting of the jumper to NTSC identical to the selection of NTSC
- in the Boot-Menu (both mouse buttons pressed during startup)?
-
- 3. I use Deluxe Pacman and it offers a toggle feature between PAL and NTSC.
- The screen of the NTSC is only partially visible (upper 85%). What is
- the purpose of such an implemented feature if 15% of the lower screen is
- unvisible. Could it be, that NTSC Amigas can display those screens
- completely?
-
- TIA
