No PAL VERA... Then why Worry ?
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2024 12:08 am
I almost bought a $15 TV set last week...
While I'd like to check for overscan; The X16 is NTSC...
In my experience, you can adjust a CRT monitor; to see the entire screen.
You can't adjust an old TV set like that, and are designed to have "overscan"...
I can't just "take out the TV" and check for overscan....
I'd have to ask someone in the U.S. to check..... Ummmm Why worry about something I cant do anything about ??
In our corner of the world (Australia)... we have 240v 50Hz PAL TV's , so mostly are completely without even a setting.
In David's last video, no mention of future PAL VERA boards... But maybe a "Radio Card" (that I'd like) that has overscan on a TV..
I think if we're not bothering about PAL.. Then we're already making decisions on our set-ups not to have TV's...
My set-up, cannot have a TV (Without complicating it)
Developers are Developing, when they have to ask other's for overscan?
And people are getting set-up, with what they have... so they have already gone in direction, to avoid buying another Vera.
Gen 2, or NEXTGen is wanted to be all surface-mount, to be cheaper... so are we going to have 2 types ? PAL & NTSC?
It feels like..... only NTSC...
Are people in Australia (and half the world), are going to have the "next Gen" only on Monitors, not TV's ?
Do we even know what that, anything we Develop will look like, until its tested on "real hardware"?
I'm only a novice, & X16 enthusiast... I might have the wrong Idea.... what do you think ?
