| ==== |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
What comes with this package ??
- 1> HighGFX (new GFX-Modes for your AGA/ECS-Amiga)
- 2> Overscan (the settings of my system)
- 3> HighGFX.MODES (a list of ALL new modes)
- 4> TestGFX (some nice GFX in "SVGA"-like 1024x768 HAM8
to check out the new GFX-Power)
- 5> ReSync (this tool forces your Monitor to change the
frequencys FASTER to the needed screen-resolution
of your activated screen (NOT PART OF HIGHGFX !!
THIS IS A SINGLE TOOL FOR BAD MULTISYNC-MONITORS))
- 6> Read.Me (this text (I hope that the tools are better..))
1> HighGFX
=======
This BETA-Release is FREEWARE !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! DANGER !! THIS NEW GFX-MODES ARE BEYOND THE OFFICAL SCANRATES !
! OF ALL KNOWN MONITORS !! I DON´T TAKE CARE FOR DAMAGES ON YOUR !
! HARD- AND SOFTWARE !! !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The facts: Max. Resolution (no overscan) 1024x768
Min. Resolution (no overscan) 256x192
Colors: 2 - 256 or EHB,HAM and HAM8
FREQUENCYS: 45 Hz 18,22 KHz
I USE THIS FREQUENCYS TO GET AN VISIBLE SCREEN WITHOUT PLAYING ON
MY MONITOR SETTINGS !!! =======
For my own .. I´m working with an IDEK 5017 ... works well !!
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
«I have spoken with technicans from MICROVITEC (they build the new«
»Amiga Monitors) and they told me, that this frequencys are in the»
«tolerance-area ... HighGFX works !! «
» »
«-------------IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY SETTINGS---------------«
»Activate the entry in ToolTypes (TOTCLKS=0xB0) for 50Hz 20KHz for»
«bad MultiSyncMonitors... Its possible, that you must play with «
»your monitorsettings .. Urghh!!! »
«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
The limitations of this BETA-Release:
---------------------------------------
- THIS file is 168 KB GREAT ... and NOT designed for SYS:DEVS/MONITORS !
(It works, but you lose 800KB Chip-Mem after every startup!)
- If an HighGFX screen is activated, a little animation is started !
(Don´t move screens, if you want to work with your Amiga ...)
- This little animation stands in memory and you lose 800KB Chip-Mem !
- If you change TOTCLKS, it´s impossible to open a WB-screen in HighGFX!
- Little harmless BUG in Prefs/Overscan.. Try it to find out ..
(Or use my setup for FAST testing)
( )
( REMEMBER, this BETA-Release is for YOU to CHECK OUT your hardware. )
( If it works with your monitor, you know that you CAN give money )
( for a good final-release. (Dec ´96/Jan ´97) )
( If your monitor is not able to display the new mode ... )
( Try to incrase TOTCLKS and PLAY with your monitorsettings ! )
( And save your money for a BETTER monitor !! )
( )
How to install:
Just doubleclick the HighGFX Icon !!
Than doubleclick the Overscan Icon !!
Thats all !! Enjoy the new GFX-modes ...
Tested with :
- PC-Task 3.1 (now we have real SVGA-screens aviable)
- ShapeShifter3.2 (try 512x384 mono (original MacClassic-screen) )
- NemacIV (1024x384 ONLY CPU !!! Very slow, but great GFXs)
(256x192 the fastes mode I know ...)
- Workbench (Useless ... High flickering ... but works)
- MagicWB (see workbench)
- DPaintV (This is perfect .. for COOL graphics)
Other reports are welcome !!
2> OVERSCAN
========
This are my settings on my IDEK 5017 ! (There is NOTHING patched)
3> HIGHGFX.MODES
=============
A list of all new 39 modes ...
4> TESTGFX
=======
Two nice pictures ! (Selfmade and from Aminet)
Just doubleclick them!
5> RESYNC
======
An old tool, that forces an MultiSyncMonitor to get faster
in right resolutions!
I use this BETA-Version since over one year, and it works nice !
It was designed ,because my monitor never ends with scaning
when it changed between Modes like Productivity and DBLPAL!
Are I´m the only one with this problem ??
6> READ.ME
=======
This nice file.
Many years ago, I wrote my last lines in english, sorry.
