Hi everybody,
I'm a legit owner of Scala MM400 from Softhut. When I run it on my A4000T/060, it opens up in a low-res screen mode, but the interface is for hires-laced. 3/4 of the interface is not visible. I can auto-scroll up & down with the mouse, but the right-hand side of the screen is totally inaccessible/invisible. This happens with or without a gfx card, with a fresh install of OS 3.1 or 3.5bb2, with caches, without caches, etc.
When I run the same package on my A1200/030, it opens up a Super Hires Laced screen, and the interface is all there, but it is really tiny, in the middle 1/3 and top 1/2 of the screen. Scripts play back fine but the interface ("Scala Menu") is all in Super Hires Laced. What the heck?
The box they sold me was labelled "PAL" but they said it would work fine, and that it's the same as the NTSC package. I have tried booting up in PAL mode and it didn't make any difference. The scripts play back fine genlocked. Both of these computers are NTSC models.
On the A1200, I have tried using ModePro to force Scala to open on an NTSC HiRes Laced screen, and then it shows the whole interface, but only on the top half of the screen! Forced into NTSC HiRes, the interface goes off the bottom of the visible area. This is a hint to me that it is the PAL version.
For what it's worth, MM*300* NTSC works *fine* on the A4000T. I think it worked fine on the A1200 too.
Any ideas? Am I boondoggled? Am I stuck working in Super HiRes Laced with a half-PAL half-NTSC MM400?
