A better 800x600

[TheGoose]

I am advocating for a better 800 x 600 screen mode for people who have an AGA / ECS Indivision. Why? because the one you get by using the old Amiga modes ( think this super hi res something ) does not upscale through the Indivision hardware well.

800x600 gives a good size screen but will be noticeably more responsive then the HighGfx mode of 1024x768. Wondering if any one else has come to this conclusion, need for  a better 800x600 screen mode.

Could the HighGfx driver be modified? Other ideas?

Isn't there a Super72 screenmode at 800x600 that works on an Indivision? I've tried some (there are many versions on Aminet) and none worked for me, but I remember someonespoke about it.

Yeah, that's the one I mean, It does not work very well here...
Most anything does, Multiscan, DblNTSC, etc.

Have you tried it?

but it depends on individual computers to include such a mode to the next firmware.
just like xtreme ... :-S

Hmmm great, I love it when my problems are already solved by smart people.

Hey Goose,

How does the HighGfx on the Indivision mode compare to running DblNTSC
on a regular RGB-VGA adaptor speed wise?. I remember DblNTSC being slower
on an 030/AGA but it was fine for Octamed and programs that let you choose screen modes.

Well I will agree with Cammy, HighGfx is plenty usable, and a nice screen. I use 32 or 64 colors for WB. But I think just because DblNTSC is a smaller real-estate, it might be quicker.


BUUUUT , to the topic, 800x600 would be a great screen for the Indivisions. Will we get that when new MKII version comes out you think, Cammy ? Will it work with the older cards?

SuperPlus is still under development.
IndivisionECS will support it with next coreupdate.
At the moment I am working on the final dualscreenmode.
I am sorry, but I lost some time with the automatic monitorswitch project.
SuperPlus will be finished before I start anything new ...

Thanks for the update Ratte. Some of us are wondering about the MKI Indivision AGA; will this work benefit those cards? Will we see an 800x600 screen mode?

Great work.
