After four long years, I finally fixed what’s been driving me crazy since 2021 — PAL games running wrong on my NTSC Amiga 500.
The music was too fast. The screen was cropped. Everything just felt off. But with a Rev 6A motherboard, an 8372A Agnus chip, and a little software magic called Turbo Boot 1.1, I can now switch between NTSC and PAL with a single key press — no soldering, no jumpers, no mods.
In this video, I’ll show:
🕹️ How Turbo Boot 1.1 works with a Gotek drive
⚙️ How to set up slot 001 for Turbo Boot and 002 for your game
💡 The visual and audio difference between NTSC and PAL (Golden Axe & Cannon Fodder)
🧩 Why some Amigas can’t switch and what chip you actually need
This fix is for anyone tired of seeing chopped-off screens or sped-up music on their Amiga 500. Trust me — it’s worth it.

👇 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL 👇
Hey, it's Tom from Texas, and here's why I do what I do— Floppy Deep Dive is all about real hardware, real nostalgia, and keeping the 8-bit magic alive. I make these videos for the folks who grew up on crackling CRTs, spent Saturdays swapping floppies, and still smile when the SID chip kicks in. This isn't about "who wins" or which frame is crispier—it's about reliving the era, having fun with these weird and wonderful games, and building a community that appreciates the quirks, the charm, and yes, even the "craptacular" moments of classic computing. If that's your vibe, you're in the right place. If not… there's always TikTok. Thanks for watching, supporting, and keeping the retro flame burning. BOOM!
🕹️ What You'll Find Here:
Commodore 64, Atari 800XL, Apple IIe, ZX Spectrum, NES, Amiga
Deep dives into mysterious floppies
