connectors on the rear of my A500 and A1200. Looks like a better option than trying to hunt down a scandoubler.
except for I doubt if this will work with all screenmodes - works fine with scandoubler. If someone can confirm that it does not work with all modes, then its not worth spending $85.
True dat... but good for the person who is simply using it for old games, basic 15 KHz modes should work fine.
I sold my DCE internal scandoubler years ago, and almost bought another until I remembered all the downsides:
Still have nasty 50 Hz flicker in PAL screenmodes, unless you use an LCD... in which case you have to put up with irregular scaling (or a smaller, non-stretched image, if the monitor will allow you to select it). Both of those options are far less than ideal (for me, anyhow).
External scandoublers exhibit marginal image quality.
Still pretty much confined to a computer monitor, and not all monitors will look good with a particular scandoubler output
Possible neobitz advantages:
Great for most games/demos
Plug it into ANYTHING that accepts s-video or component
Potentially fantastic image quality
$85 is still cheaper than any scandoubler
I suppose it just depends on what you need. Unfortunately, a good "do it all" display option for old Amigas is nonexistant.
