pjbramley Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Am after an unmodified 800XL which are very rare in Australia. I know we use a PAL format here, but will a computer from another PAL country run in Australia? Also, if I were to purchase a NTSC Atari and converted the system with a DVI output (Like the Sophia upgrade) would I be able to use it in Australia? Have always wondered if this was possible with a 1200XL as they were never released here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yes: other PAL machines will work in your country as long as you use a power supply appropriate for your mains voltage. DVI is TV system agnostic, so Sophia will work without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Some TV's will accept NTSC or PAL signals, I have a 1995 Sony Trinitron CRT that I use for my NTSC 400/800/1200xl/7800 and also my PAL machines. Only via composite AV or S-video though, not RF. I also had a cheap 19" Chinese LCD TV that worked very well for PAL and NTSC but it is very hit and miss with modern TV's due to the non standard Atari video out Edited November 30, 2020 by mimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
