While the SuperHires could be flicker fixed, I don't think any of the
current flickerfixers do. They will loose every other pixel.
I have read that the Flicker-Free Video 2, will pass the Productivity
(VGA) modes for compatiblity, but I don't know about SuperHires.
Since the FFV-2, was updated to handle (or be more compatible) with the
new KS-2.04 screen modes, it should know what to do with a SuperHires
signal. (Either pass it, or convert it.)
I won't "fix" the Super72 mode, that can be generated with KS2.04, with
AmigaDOS 2.1. Most likely it will past it.
Super72 mode is 24-kHz by 72-hz, interlaced 800×600. It is faster than
NTSC/PAL's 15-kHz @50/60-Hz, and flickers less. It shouldn't look too
bad with the right palette. If you have a multiscan monitor that handles
24-kHz.
