cybervison 64/3D scandoubler in A3K

[midway]

Anything above 12 bit (4096 colors) looks bad as far as i remember.

Anything above 12 bit (4096 colors) looks bad as far as i remember.

Anything above 12 bit is going to be HAM or HAM8 (18-bit 262,144 color AGA mode), so that's going to "look bad", in general.  Just because it's HAM.  Or do you mean "worse than normal HAM mode images"? :lol:

I don't own this card so I don't have a dog in the fight, I'm just curious why they would design a scan doubler that only fits properly in the A4000 video slot, but which doesn't support A4000 video modes (if that is in fact the case).

Forgive my ignorance but what constitutes an AGA screenmode? 32-64-128-256 color modes?

The Scandoubler doubles the 15k native modes so I don't expect it to do anything to the DblNTSC modes.

256 color screenmodes (NTSC Hi-res or NTSC Lo-res)??   Those are fine  and look great.  Interlaced modes work but are still interlaced (no  Flicker Fixer in the CV64/3d+SD).  Tried 32 and 256 color modes, they  look great.

NTSC or PAL Hi-Res Laced 256 colors would be an AGA screen mode, yes.  So if that looks great, then it sounds like the scan doubler does work with AGA modes.  LOL, think I need more coffee!

Here's my workbench in 256 color, NTSC:Hi-res Laced screenmode, A4000T with Cybervision 64/3D + Scandoubler.

The A1200 and A4000 have 24-bit graphics. If the ScanDoubler is only 12-bit then it can only approximate the true colours (24-bit) of the AGA palette. Normal Workbench colours are 12-bit values by default so that they look the same on OCS/ECS, so unless you try and tweak them I'm guessing things will appear normal. Test it with a 24-bit image or AGA coppershade or something. The game Fire & Ice CD32 version would be a good test if you have that to hand.

I tried AGA Test which seemed to run fine with no noticeable graphic issues or missing colors, but it ran a cycle of each primary RGB.

Next was Mr Copper.

But if I want high color I'm going to lean towards using the Cybervision64/3D.
