There is a new software build available here: https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI/releases

This is one step above the previous betas and is a release candidate for the next stable version

This version has the following improvements over the version previously available on the above link:

Support for NTSC machines. Aspect ratio conversion to make NTSC games full screen on PAL machines Fully variable scanline level Support for flash floppy OSD Much faster 12 bit per pixel capture code Various bug fixes.

To use scanlines, there are three profiles to choose from: Amiga Amiga Blk-scanlines (Black scanlines only) Amiga Var-scanlines (Variable scanlines) Note the variable scanlines profile is more CPU intensive and has to overclock the CPU so if you have problems revert to normal Amiga or black scanlines only or fit a heatsink on your Pi zero.

For flash floppy OSD: Connect the Flash floppy video signal to PIN 18 on the Pi zero header via a 1K resistor (Video must be 3.3v logic level) Note PIN 18 was an output on earlier software so you must use a resistor to protect the FF OSD pin in case older software is loaded.

Please post any issues you find when using it with the Amiga board here.
