Sorry!<br /><br />I went through a few displays before I found one that worked with the commodore composite signal. I have recently updated the links on this blog to point to the ones I am currently buying. These displays support both NTSC and PAL. I suspect the one you got is having trouble detecting the commodore composite and it is not a PAL vs NTSC thing.<br /><br />By the way, not only does the VR64 hardware support both NTSC and PAL, but so does the Street Defender game.<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br /><br />Jimjim_64https://www.blogger.com/profile/02106760000545867514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921567359470862807.post-31298492827470039812018-01-03T05:23:57.885-08:002018-01-03T05:23:57.885-08:00Hello,
