Quick and simple question! Startup-sequence

[SidVicious]

Someone here recomended me to get the MagicTV program from Aminet. So, now i have it. Anyway, it says this in the installation file:

  *  Put the line:
      @{b}MagicTV@{ub}
     in your Startup-Sequence, directly after SetPatch.


This is what my start-up sequence looks like:

c:setpatch >NIL:
c:version >NIL:
addbuffers >NIL: df0: 15
Failat 21

Can someone tell me exacly where i should put "@{b}MagicTV@{ub}", and should i include the @ and {} and all that stuff? Pleas write what:

c:setpatch >NIL:
c:version >NIL:
addbuffers >NIL: df0: 15
Failat 21

Should look like whith the MagicTV thing added.
(sounds like a dumb question, but i'm tiered of restarting the Amiga over and over again right now!)

Another question, the MagicTV says it is for AGA chipset. And someone recomended me to use it on my Amiga600. Does it work or do i need an older version than MagicTV2?

After some thinking, i'm understand that there shouldn't be any @ and {b} and other wiered stuff. I don't know why it was there...probably becous i did view the IMPORTANT file in IE.
Now i do get Returncode 20. Does someone knows what that mean?

MagicTV only works with the AGA chipset.

Those are just formatting characters (bold etc) as the file is meant to be viewed in MultiView  :-)

Hello Sid,

I just checked out MagicTV myself to see how it works with LightWave on an A1200 with a 15KHz monitor. It's not bad actually. If I didn't have a better solution, I reckon I could use it OK. Without it, LightWave's interlaced screen is unusable.

Anyway, your problem is slightly different and unless you have an Amiga with the AGA chipset (the A600 doesn't), this program won't work. With an AGA machine the installation is as follows:

1.Copy the MagicTV icon into Workbench:C directory
2.Open the S:Startup-sequence in a word processor
3.Make a space following the line 'C:Setpatch >NIL' and    type in:
   C:MagicTV
4. Save the Startup-sequence and reboot.

MagicTV will then run every time you boot the machine and should flicker-fix any program giving an interlaced screen.

I couldn't see an earlier version on Aminet, so I don't know what it works with. Presumably the same AGA machines as the later version. The notes indicate it was installed in the WBstartup drawer, which means you don't need to alter the Startup-sequence at all.

Cheers,
