Title: AGA Games and WHDLoad
Post by: pan1k on November 23, 2009, 03:56:21 AM

I just registered WHDLoad and started to install more games. Some of the AGA games work fine, others are distored, half on the screen, etc. Is it a problem with my scandoubler? I have the cybervision 64/3d w/ the optional scandoubler. I don't think it passes all the colors through, or is it a problem with a screenmode? If it's a screenmode, how do I find and adjust the right one?

pan1k: hmm, 'half on the screen'... Have you tried running games on a PAL screen? Either with Degrader, or using the 'PAL' tooltype in WHDLoad? I know nothing about scandoublers, but you should always check the basic/simple stuff first :)

Move the PAL/NTSC switch on the motherboard to PAL and live with it this way. Of course, you'll not be able to use a NTSC Video Toaster with this A4000.

 Also notice that some slot scandoublers are not NTSC/PAL agnostic.:rant:

Switching to PAL did the trick for the most part.. hadn't thought about it, but then I remembered that a lot of games are PAL only. I'm re-doing my games partition after it crashed... going to do it right this time!

pan1k: I wish you best of luck in re-doing your games partition. I do feel your pain, I had a ~10GB IBM DeskStar (aka DeathStar) fail on me about 3 years ago.... I was lucky, I had CD backups of most of it... I lost 'only' 2GB... So, the moral of the story is make sure you have some sort of backup...
