- !CustomVDU parameters for the VIDC and A5000 Multiscan monitor on a A410
- If like me you brought a A5000 Multiscan monitor for you A410 and found that after you had used
- one of those nice Hi-Res modes supplied with your VIDC upgrade the Normal Wimpmodes 0 to
- 15 were corrupted then the table below could be useful.

- (Most of the above data will be set automatically by !CustomVDU)
-
- Before you can make use of the above table you must have a copy of !CustomVDU by Thomas
- Olsson this is a PD program which should be available from most bulletin boards or public domain
- libraries.
- I am not going to give a detailed tutorial on how to use the !CustomVDU application instead just
- quick guide and some tricks to help you out.
- First you load all of your favourite VIDC mode modules, I used the Ezio 9060 as supplied with
- Alpha One's VIDC upgrade, then run !CustomVDU.Click select on the !CustomVDU icon and a
- window with all the available modes will be displayed, those in blue/grey will not be save in any
- new module created so click with select on the ones you want which will then turn green.
-
- To edit click adjust on the mode required, a new window will open with a lot of data about the
- screen mode the important items are, the top green bar 'Enhancer mode', the Hsync box middle
- left and the item marked CR: DMA: in the top right of the VIDC registers section.
- use the arrows to adjust each of the items shown in the table or in the case of the VIDC register
- click select over the box with the number in it. to test the mode click on the instant effect box.
-
- Adjusting the border and display coordinates can be tricky the arrows in the cross formation move
- the display/border in the selected direction while the arrow either side of the numbers increase or
- decrease the size of the selected parameter, when you have finished adjusting the modes you
- can save your new module by clicking menu over the mode window and selecting the make
- module option.
-
- Where a mode in the table has an Auto below it the corresponding settings are those chosen by
- !CustomVDU which are the letter box type the ones above are my preferred settings usually a full
- screen version but the XY ratios may not be correct.
-
- Hint 1
- If the screen is corrupted then pressing escape will take you back to the editor if that does not
- work the press F12 and type wimpmode <xx> xx=the wimp mode you were working in, don’t
- forget to cancel the instant effect box before altering any more data
- Hint 2
- If the mouse pointer disappears the press F12 and then Return to force the screen to be updated
- and the mouse pointer to be redrawn
- Hint 3
- The Border (blue) and Display (orange) coordinates are closely linked so you may have to move
- the border before you can move the display or vice versa
-
- a nice thing about modules made with !CustomVDU is it they contains a command to switch the
- module on and off this will allow programs which will not work with any of the enhanced 0 to 15
- modes to run by including a CustomOff at the beginning of a !Run file and a CustomON at the end
- (Note do not change the !Run files on commercial software as you may corrupt the disc).
- Happy Tweaking
