Does anyone have experience converting a Commodore 64
from NTSC to PAL ?
I don't think it is worth the trouble. You have to replace the
VIC-II video chip with the PAL version, the 14.318MHz xtal with
an uncommon 17.734MHz one, and maybe also the video modulator.
You should also have a 220V/50Hz power source handy.
The PAL/NTSC jumper on the board is not at all sufficient.
Such components are easiest obtained from an existing PAL C64
which is pretty common at some auction site. (well, maybe
unless it is some less common PAL version, like PAL with 60Hz).
