Amiga - screenmode.prefs - fixing display settings
« on: November 13, 2015, 12:38:25 AM »
I'm trying to help a guy who has this problem.  He's not able to post here because his registration hasn't gone through yet.  Made this little video to (hopefully) help him.  Feel free to criticize, I promise it's much shorter than my rambling 3.9 tutorial video.  ;)

Enjoy, feel free to share!  :)

D'oh, I mean it will default to a high res non-interlace screen!  Already finding my own mistakes, haha.  ;)

I think it was part of one of the BB updates?  Or maybe it was in 3.9 initially.  It's only like 64 bytes, I can send it to you if you need it.  I really don't like flipping that power switch any more than necessary, our Miggy's aren't getting any younger!  ;)

iirc, there is a special version of reboot for OS4, as standard reset won't clear everything.

I came up with 64 bytes also assembling the following with vasm.

Code: [Select]
  move.l (4).w,a6
   JSRLIB ColdReboot

This is not a hard reboot like turning off the machine. Sometimes there is a difference if the system has been badly corrupted or there has been something reboot proof added. The 3 finger salute can be held for several seconds until the screen changes shades. This usually saves turning the Amiga off but I have seen a few times when this doesn't even work for a hard reboot (usually with a red screen).
