trapdoor expansion
« on: January 15, 2008, 02:43:05 PM »
hi ive just opened up my a1200 for the first time, the card in the trapdoor slot is an mc68030fe16b, is this the basic card that comes as standard with the a1200 or an accelerated version, also some of my games are all fuzzy on screen when i try to play them, is this a hardware problem, thanks all, dave

the games load up when i click on them, but you cant make out anything when the title screen comes up and therefore cant do anything, is that user addon any good or does it need upgrading. thanks, dave

thanks guys the game is now up and running but......

Next problem, the screen view is higher than the screen if you know what i mean, i.e. i cant see the top part of the game, how would i fix this, i am pretty sure it is not my screen as the workbench start up screen and other games are fine, thanks and sorry for asking what must seem silly questions to you, dave
