After months of excitment of waiting for this cool program i cant get it to run. I tried it on both an A600 w 1mb ram 3.1 rom from floppy and hd, and from an 1200 2mb 3.1 rom from floppy both NTSC. i dont think this program supports NTSC? It loads to a point then its a blank screen. When i try from shell nothing happens?? is it PAL only? How to force PAL mode to test? early startup screen does NOT hold PAl mode.

btw I have an a500 w/ 1.3 500mb chip and 4.5 fast should I try to run it there for testing for you? (Its NTSC as well)

As you can see there are MANY NTSC users around. Lots of Lurkers are NTSC based.

Yep that did the trick.

Switching the Amiga over to PAL mode allowed it to run without issue.

When you say "Swithcing over to PAL" how exactly do you mean? I selected PAL from early startup and boot from floppy no workee

[magnetic]

Is there a way to boot a NTSC amiga into PAL from disk? Like with relokick(sp) or something similar? I've never had to use a "Degrader"

Akira/Hoffman

Any comments on NTSC support?

Akira? Hoffman? u guys around?

Ok well here is an update.

I got it launching on my a600 ntsc. Just use early startup and select PAL screenmode and be sure to press another key to activate the mode. Then the program will start. This is from floppy. Will try from hd and report back.

Full NTSC support would be nice as some part of the screen is cut off and I cant adjust it with Overscan any lower.

So I am adding to the list of stuff we gotta check, NTSC support.
Having in mind , what, 90% of software is made for PAL Amigas, I'm not too worried at the moment about supporting it, but it needs to be added to the documentation.

Thanks guys!!

Hi Akira
I know you dont post here much but i'm really trying to get some usage out of your software. Is NTSC support still planned? This would really bring more users as the PAl thing is a PITA on NTSC amigas.

Also really need is the docs in .pdf format as stated on the site "coming soon" a couple of tutorials would be coool.

To anyone who hasnt tried this and likes electronic music its a MUST one of the coolest amiga apps ever!
