Please read it.

Would this effectivly work like a good scandoubler/flickerfixer ?

If it was me I would just save up another $60 and get an Indivision istead of taking a chance on that. It might work but the signal might not look great for the Amiga.
You never know?

You can also use High GFX sceen modes with an Indivision...

The way the indivision works means you'd get a much better picture. Go for that if you can afford it.

At first I was going to say no because most of these devices only offer pass-through for the VGA signal.

converter supports all major RGB outputs from the following gaming machine PCBs and all other legacy computer video sources:

* Amiga



It would be really cool if it supported NTSC CD32's funky PAL mode with NTSC color signal :)

This thread has some screenshots (I think it's the same device, but???):

It's a shame it doesn't handle interlaced modes very well. Otherwise it's not bad, especially for games.

Looks like a decent solution, but I wonder how it compares to the predecessor to the IndivisionAGA, the Toastscan, or what ever the other name for it was?

I used something similar a year or so ago with a PAL A600. Interlaced screen modes still flickered and actually appeared worse. I use a flicker fixer now, and that's definitely the way to go.

Which Amiga did you want to use this on? Amiga 4000T?

If you are interested on Indivision 4000T write Jens or post in the thread about A4000T Indivision.

Avoid non-amiga pseudoscandoublers... in the worst case you can search an Arxon scandoubler on eBay or AmiBay.

I have the Indivision ECS/AGA for my main machines. They work great.

I also have a XRGB2 for other stuff. I was going to use it on my Amigas as well but the Indivision is better. The external solutions might give you a picture on a CRT monitor but a lot of the time they don't look very good on the LCD screens.

Noise in the picture is the issue. Anything other than playing games can get annoying.

1st link - Don't bother, got it - and it had a very poor picture / conversion. Un-usable.

2nd link - I dunno, Indivision works great but I didn't know A4000T could not use it.

I've got one of these and it works great. http://tvone.com/1t-dvi-vga-main.shtml

I seem to remember they aren't cheap though.

Cypress CM-397. Not 24-bit so results in colour quality loss used with AGA games. External so suffers from Digital->Analog->Digital->Analog conversion errors.
