This would have been nice to have a few years ago. Once in a while me and my dad bust out the Amigas and goof around with them on a projector. Getting the displays to work was a hassle. The old monitors we had were PAL too. I'll have to forward this to my dad.

I love projects like this, but an almost always present issue is a severe lack of showing the results.

I looked through the docs, through the other project links, even at the YouTube channels linked from other projects.

It seems that no one with one of these adapters has a decent phone camera and tripod or a hdmi capture device to show off the results.


Jan Beta did a couple of videos for the Amiga 500 version

He had some issues with hdmi capturing that he fixed in the second video

Nifty. What’s the best place to find old amigas, which aren’t going to cost me my arm? I’d be willing to buy one of the PowerPC based alternatives as well but the x1000 is very expensive.
