Indivision ECS core update 1.15

Nice! :banana:

Hm, 5 year old news?

Jens doesn't exactly publish this info on forums himself, it's like hide and seek for updates sometimes.  

Edit: and it sure would be nice if vendors would ship systems with the latest firmware already flashed.  I understand, there's never enough time, but it's what I would do if I was selling stuff like this.

Maybe I can now use a widescreen LCD?

Try HD720:

Although AFAIR your issue was more that the only widescreen LCD's you had available weren't compatible?

Just flashed it on my A500, no issues so far with any tested screenmode (including SuperPlus), although I did notice that the initial power-on screen still says 1.10 - although the firmware flash tool confirms it's on 1.15.  Anyone else report this same issue?

Side note:  I haven't tried SuperPlus since switching from a 37" to a 50" display.  Daaang, it still looks nice.

BTW, How does one activate this superplus mode you are talking about? What's needed?

If you have 3.9 + all the BB's installed you already have it.  Likewise if you have 3.1 + BetterWB installed you already have it.  (May just need to drag it out of the monitors storage folder.)

Otherwise, the previous link works, too.  

More info here:

As mfilos describes about it in his article (about it completely filling the screen), it also completely fills my 50" TV with no overscan required.  I don't use it on that system very often because it is a bit slower than NTSC + overscan, but depending on your processor it may be fast enough for ya.

Thanks guys! I extracted the monitor files from BetterWB and was able to test it, but I think it is pretty slow for my machine... also I am having issues with the indivision config not being recognized at first boot... I need to keep the machine turned on for 2 or 3 minutes then turn it off and on again... and then the config is properly recognized. I guess I'll have to solve that before...

Thanks again!

I wonder start with reseating everything, cleaning the contacts, and double-checking the ground cable. This could also be a sign of a failing power supply. Good luck!

maybe its time to dump classicWB3.1

:laughing:
