Every time i try to run the games it will freeze the tv card screen and just turn black while it will not show, what do i do i know the picture is there but its like the scren turns off ?... Please give me details not just use some program etc as i am new to this... Thanks ..

wow 2x post sorry guys ... And as for RTFM is not a usefull tip  ;-) Although i am doing so now . were too look in the damn manual anyways the thing is huge

Essentially you have a very specialised computer just consisting of a TV card and a graphics card, running completely autonomously. That's why you must tell WhdLoad not to reset the Voodoo, else it'll close the output or release the Overlay buffer.

As far as i can see from the manual there is no such option command correct me if i am wrong though

Just did change DISPLAYCHAIN to No but stil it fails ....

[adonay]

That would be great  :-D

Thank you for the help....

SOLVED with the help of DoctorQ:

Note DISPLAYCHAIN in my setup should say no with small letters and none ) symbols after or in front....

This method works quite well, and is easy to set up. Connect the composite out (so only possible on A1200 obvious) to the TV card, edit the Voodoo monitor driver and change the DISPLAYCHAIN tooltype to the opposite of what it is now. Install TV card software (SuperTV is very good), launch the program, switch to composite input and launch your WHDLoad game and it should display in the TV screen on top of your Voodoo screen.

@Doctorq, yes I have SuperTV set to receive Composite. It displays my Camcorder when hooked upto the Voodoo.

I have an awful feeling that my A1200 composite port is kaput!
Could my SD/FF (internal) be disabling the composite port?

@ddniUK

Can you hear the sound from the game ? do you have a USB\TCPIP stack running if so turn them to offline . Also does the SD\FF show picture in the game you try ? Why bother though if you have a SD\FF? Do you have a extra tv with composite you can try out to test the cable ?
