GlowingGhoul Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have a nice PAL MEGA STE coming to me soon. What modifications should I make to make it appropriate for use in the US? (obviously I'm not concerned about RF output) Also, has a UK Keyboard. Can I just swap TOS and keycaps or is there more to the KB than that? Thanks!

EzdineG Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Other than the input voltage, I wouldn't worry about swapping anything. I do believe a US TOS will allow it to boot at 60hz, if 50hz is an issue for your monitor.

Nebulon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yes, the monitor could be an issue. I've used two different model numbers of Atari color monitors on PAL titles (albeit on an NTSC machine) and the bottom of the screen disappears off of the display. There's a vertical squeeze, but I don't see a vertical shift knob anywhere (unless maybe there's some other solution). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
