I bought the Apollo 1260 at 32 Mb of RAM @ 80 Mhz for my A1200!! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!! :banana::banana::banana::banana:Movies on my Amiga 1200 here I come! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!! :crazy::crazy: AND THIS IS MY CHANCE TO TEST OUT DOSBOXAGA!! NodeCoder, please let me be your BETA TEST FOR DOSBOXAGA!! Oooh yeah!! Let me try out the speed for you and give you results on it...please, please, please...I am so happpppppy!!!!

Time to flood my Amiga 1200 with so much games I feel my head is going to explode!! Mp3 on my Amiga 1200 here I come!!!

Congratulations, what accelerator have before?

Thank you Used to have the 1230 accelerator, sold it and stayed for a complete year not using my Amiga 1200 with no accelerator or anything. After this long term patience I got this Apollo 1260 . But in the meantime I have prepared libraries of movies for it and a HUGE LIBRARIES of games so that when I get the accelerator it would be worth it. Also I send my WiFi card to be updated to support WPA/WPA2 security so that my Amiga 1200 can go WiFi and go online

I am also planning in the future to buy this for my A1200: http://www.220-electronics.com/sharp-lc22dc30m-22-multi-system-led-tv.html. This way I can have a complete multimedia system for my A1200 and put my 1084S in storage. I still do not have the heart to get rid off or sell the Commodore 1084S so I will keep it safe in storage when I buy that TV.

[AmigaClassicRule]

That's true, without the right setup you won't be getting full speed out of your 060.

Where can I get the link then? I am going to be using Apollo 1260 I wil waitl NovaCoder for DOSBOXAga, my dream come true software In the meantime I have enough to keep me preoccupied...FINALLY I will be able to play Ultima 7 on my A1200 heheh AGA.

[AmigaClassicRule]

Cool, congrats on your upgrade.

Now go and grab some of my 060 ports off AmiNet to play with, top of my list would be ScummVM AGA 060 and BOOM AGA 060 using the 'Back to Saturn' total conversion.

BOOM baby BOOM

DosBox AGA development continues, Matt is making progress with the dynamic 68k core.   I'm not really doing anything on the project at the moment because I'm waiting for the core (it will be too slow to use without it).

I'm also a little bit busy with Quake 2 AGA development

OH WOW! Boom AGA LOOKS GREAT and the speed on 060 is superb!! Yes! I will for sure add this to list of games I am going to install in my Amiga 1200.

[AmigaClassicRule]

Sorry, not sure what link he means?

Best talk to Lurch about setup, he's just brought an 060 himself

Can I private him here in Amiga.org by just entering Lurch?

[AmigaClassicRule]

You rang? :-)

YAY!!! I send you my email address

[AmigaClassicRule]

I have some 100MHz crystals if you like to try one. I had no luck so far, mine just boot loops with no picture. But I haven't given up, going to try another PSU :-)

My CF Card died, I think it was my fastata that killed it so going back to a laptop HDD. Once I have that setup going to have to post some videos. :-)

Thank you soooo much for the email you send me I can hardly wait to set it up

Concerning the 100 Mhz crystals, no thanks I am happy with 80 Mhz. I believe running a 68060 @ 80 Mhz should be more than enough hopefully to get DOSBOX AGA at a decent and enjoyable speed...I am not greedy

[AmigaClassicRule]

Guys, download this SpeedModule if you want to compare your 80Mhz Apollo setups with mine -> AmiNet

Less speed (apart from the HD) means you're probably not running the right patches.

The archive have only .dat file on it. There is no Amiga executable file at all. How do you execute it?

[AmigaClassicRule]

Your 1084S is massively better than that TV.

That TV cannot naturally display Amiga resolutions.  So it emulates them in software with an emulator.  And it distorts the picture.

The 1084S displays them naturally with hardware.

Your 1084S is also faster.  It can literally change any and all pixels on the screen from ANY color to ANY other color instantly.  LCD TVs cannot do that so you get weird blurriness sometimes, kindof like HAM fringing fx.

Remember that Sharp TV is just a plain old LCD TV with a proper LED backlight.  Its not magic or anything.

OH! Thanks for the info ChaosLord. In that case I will save my money, I love my 1084S a lot and it produces the best colors possible but the only problem I have with it is the size of the screen. It is small. So if I want to sit on the coach and put two hour movie to play on Amiga 1200, I cannot enjoy the movie as much as I would if the size is 25" or larger. Do you know what I mean? I just wish there was an alternative to that 1084s but bigger screen and produce the same quality as an 1084s.

[AmigaClassicRule]

But wouldn't Indivision still give that pixelated, doll colour, DOS quality verses PAL/NTSC signal on a 1084s monitor?

[AmigaClassicRule]

The Indivision is for plugging into a modern monitor. Everything looks crystal clear through them so long as you are not using the VGA or HDMI adapter.

What if I plug it into the VGA or HDMI port of the monitor itself without using an adapter, would the quality be the same as the 1084s but better yet maintain the same sweetness of 1084s images and colours?

[AmigaClassicRule]

I know exactly 10000% what you mean.

That is why I bought a 2nd monitor for watching movies.  It is a 61" DLP monitor.  It is also an LED monitor because it uses an LED lightsource.  But it does not use LCD technology.  Instead it has a special Digital Light Processor chip.

If u need a big monitor for watching movies then by all means get a BIG monitor (50"+) not some itsy bitsy teensy weensy 22" monitor.




The closest thing you can get is a ViewSonic Ultrabrite A90f+ 19" CRT monitor.  Its what I am typing on right now.  It uses advanced CRT technology so all your pixels change instantaneously and it uses hardware to change the size of the pixels so that it can display all those Amiga gfx modes. Of course it works with PAL and NTSC.   BUT it only accepts signals of 31.5Khz + so you need a FlickerFixer for your Amiga.  The only FlickerFixers I can recommend for A1200 are ScanMagic FlickerFixer Internal Version or ScanJuggler XAGA internal version.

What is your recommendation toward Indivision? Can I use that for the monitor you specified?

Update: Oh I see. Where can I get ScanMagic FlickerFixer or ScanJuggler XAGA?

[AmigaClassicRule]

Hiya,

I generally only code for hardware that I can physically test it on myself.

I used to have an 030 so wrote a few ports that targeted 030 but now that I've upgraded to an 060 I'm only going to do 060 ports.

Why do I love you when you say that? Maybe because I own AN 1260 MYSELF TOOOOO BWAHAHAHAHAH!! Ooops....:rofl:

[AmigaClassicRule]

ScanJuggler is not released yet.  Please wait 1-3 months.  There was an article about it on some Hungarian forum or magazine or something.  I am sure that casting a Google spell with "ScanJuggler XAGA" parameters will find u some good infos about it.

ScanMagic is an awesome flickerfixer from 1990s.  Hasn't been made since forever.  But I see them for sale used sometimes.  I have used mine for a zillion hours since 1990s and it still works perfectly.

This is it? http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=858356

Reading between the Lite version and normal version I am going to buy the Lite version

[AmigaClassicRule]

That's the one.  I want the full version because The Lite version does not support AGA 1280x512 mode and does not eliminate flicker.  Lite version is not a flickerfixer, just a scandoubler.

Oh! In that case I will get the full version too.
