Need help with Indivision AGA MK2 and AGA1232 accelerator
« on: October 13, 2013, 08:21:12 PM »
Hi. Just brought these two and I need some help. Maybe some basic step by step intructions: ( I mean really basic)
 
For ACA1232:
1: How do install the config tool for it and add it to start up sequence. I already have KS3.1 btw. How do I use it once installed?
 
for AGA indivision
1: How do I install and use the config tool?
 
Thanks
Tony

Hello there!

1: Just copy ACATune to C:. then open startup-sequence and add following line:
C:ACATune -maprom * -cache on -burst on >NIL:

You can of course change the line to commands that suite your needs better, above line is what I use.

2: Unpack the config tool to ram drive, go to shell and just type install.

Hope you get em working :), Indivision AGA's config tool gave me a headache at start when I thought I had made a mistake and corrupt-flashed the Indy, but when you get the hang of it it works as a charm and today I got most things fullscreen without black borders on my 4:3 monitors!

EDIT: Forgot to tell you to put the ACATune line at the top of the startup-sequence!

This is my start up sequence and the part in bold is the line of code that someone else recommended. I can try yours and his to see which one is better. But for the moment I need to know if its in the right place?
Thanks

As for the indivision. I have the config tool working now. I have a 17" HP LCD 4:3 monitor. What settings would you recommend and also. Is there a way to back up the cores so I can reset if I mess up when using different screen modes?
Cheers
Tony

Why do you have the aca command commented? Remove the ";" also put the ACATune line at the very top.
Also use C:ACATune instead of c/acatune, you can also move card reset to the very bottom right before LoadWB.

Also both "-cache on" and "-burst on" speed up the system a bit, if you have no errors with em I see no reason to have them off?
Here is a list of commands: [url]http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/ACAtune[/ulr]

To see if it's working type ACATune -status in the shell.

As for the Indivision config tool, I can not give you a recommended settings you have to test away and find working ones for all screen modes you use (superplus won't work), if you fail and mess upp just boot up without startup-sequence and move the screenmode.prefs then restart and start over :)
