MEGA65 Welcome Guide
The chances are good (though not guaranteed!) that the monitor you are using with your MEGA65 can support the
video signal it outputs in either mode, possibly with some manipulation of the image to account for the differing image
heights. If you are having difficulty running a program, try switching to the other video mode. You may need to adjust
your monitor’s picture settings.
4.5.1 What about SECAM?
The SECAM standard also competed with PAL and NTSC at the time. In countries that used SECAM, Commodore
sold PAL machines with an additional device that converted the PAL signal to SECAM. Because they used a PAL video
chip, they could run software written for PAL, so there was no SECAM-specific software.
