Scrambled and squashed Ultima VI?
« on: July 08, 2007, 09:17:09 PM »
Hello again guys,

     I have installed Ultima VI(6) on my A1200, the one in my sig, and when I load it, it's all squashed on the screen and scrambled graphics.

     Does anyone know if I need to change my workbench screenmode and if so, what to?  Maybe something else is wrong? I know it's loaded and running, I can hear the music, all of the scrambled graphics are from the screens that are supposed to be showing, the game seems to operate fine, but the video output is all skewed.

     I'm using a Commodore 1702 monitor in High Res NTSC.

Thanks,
Steve

Has to be the ECS chipset when loaded from a hd on an A1200

Hmmm, if that's the case...  Anyone know if anything can be done about it?

Oh, also, this is a HD installation from the disks, not WHDLoad.

Thanks,
Steve

You could try with different display settings in early startup menu, if ECS is required.
A4000/CSPPC&060

Have you got that working with an accelerator?

Not an accelerator, no, just an FPU with RAM.  The AmiTek Hawk card.
