>256 colors with Indivision for A1200?

@Thomas

Indivision is the only scandoubler which supports the HighGfx monitor driver which allows to use resolutions of 1024x768. So effectively the Indivision *does* allow to use higher resolutions.

It's not the only one. Compserv Flicker Fixer II was the first flicker fixer in supporting HighGfx:

BTW, there are 24bit scandoublers like Compserv Arxxon. Others are not 24bit (like cv3d scandoubler). PicassoIV is 24bit but doesn't support super-hires so some demos don't look perfect.
IMHO best Flickerfixers are Indivision 1200/4000/ECS.

It is misleading: two or three people here already got wrong because of that. Unless you're really into technical stuff, you'll interpret it as supporting (adding) 24bit in AGA. Weather it was done on purpose or not is left to the appreciation of everyone (I wouldn't be surprised it was).

Adding something like "full-AGA support, including HAM8 modes (HighGFX HAM8 supported)" would be ok as I see it.

AGA has always been 24bits. Ham8 has nothing to do with the scandoubler being 24bit or not. AGA uses 24bits to define each colour of the palette. And that means smooth 24bit gradients instead of 16bit ones with ocs-like colour banding.

I wouldn't buy any scandoubler/flickerfixer for my AGA machines that was not true 24bit.

Indivision is advertised as 24bit Flickerfixer, not as a 24bit graphic card.

Indivision also allows using screenmodes that are usually unfriendly with most of monitors.

I think that people should learn that AGA has always been 24bit but cheap flickerfixers&scandoublers (like CV3D one) degraded colour quality because these weren't true 24bits.

The thing is, for most people, reading "24bit" means 24bit screenmodes... Most people may be wrong, you won't change them. So this is misleading for most people.

There is a way to acurrately describe the project *without* misleading people. That's my point.

AGA screens can have 24bit colour accuracy even if you just display 2 colours. Scandoublers/flickerfixers need 24bit accuracy and Indivision is advertised correctly.

It seems that recently a few people confuse flickerfixers with graphic cards. It's not Jen's fault. It's like buying a high quality cd player and complaining because it doesn't play bluerays. I guess CD player producers will have to add an sticker claiming "it's not a blueray player".

Indivision is better than the average flickerfixer because:
-it's true 24bit and doesn't degrade colours
-it works with TFT monitors
-it can show screenmodes like 1280x1024 and 800x600 that no other flickerfixer can show.

Average Joe user doesn't know what an amiga is and some people had not contact with classic amiga for years. Let me know when was the last time you turned on a classic. That's the reason you confuse 24bit with RTG.
