Will give it a spin in the next hours!!!

Thanks for sharing it Ratte mate \o/


Is this better than 1.01 and super-72?  I am afraid of flashing my brand new Indivision  O_o

Huh? Why you're afraid???
If you don't like it... you can always flash the oldest firmware and be done with :)

I upgraded so many Indivisions on so many difference machines and I never had a single issue :)

I just tried this on my A500 with Indivision ECS, worked great!  I was a little nervous doing it, and a bit confused why it wouldn't update (until I put the update file in the same directory as the flash utility), but once done it looked great on my 37" LCD!  Only downsides were that it used a bit more chip memory (obviously), was a little bit slower (obviously), and there was a brief pause when switching between other screens (with different resolutions) and my 800x600 Workbench, but all-in-all it was still pretty cool.  :)

800x600 is kinda slower but on unexpanded Amigas, @4 colors it should be fine.
On accelerated Amigas, 8 colors are perfect.
800x600 @ 16 colors isn't so nice imho for ECS systems. Really slow for workbench experience :)

Is the Super72 and ECS beta been updated anytime recently?  Just curious :)

I finally got around to test running that 1.10 version with super plus.  After flashing, I lost all custom modes and could only use NTSC or PAL low and hires.  Flashing back to my original set.
