New Scandoubler ready!

[codenetfx]

@a-pex

ok, I looked. Flickerfixin' Wow. Superawesome (just quoting Bill gates here).

Scandoubling flickerlicious.

Doubleplusgood!

How do we build one out of off-the-shelf parts?

[codenetfx]

@alexh. You asked for a translation of that a1k page with flickerfixer.

It basically says, see here, here and here. Look 'ma, flickerfixer superdoublin' and boy do I have fun with it. Not much else in that post.

Time to kick the tires on that good ol' Motoroller 68K.

This flickerfixer scandoubler business sounds like a joke to me. Too much fuss for no or little payoff. I saw one go for close to $500 on ebay the other day. That's just ridiculous. I would like to know *what* a scandoubler can do better than A520 with composite video output (in Amiga's present situation).

The basic answer is composite looks like ass, and laced modes may still flicker/not display properly/etc on LCD's unless the image is properly processed. But you are right, $500 is absolutely retarded for an external 16-bit scandoubler.

You are kidding..........right?  

Composite output is terrible compared to any scan doubled/flicker fixed display I have seen from any Amiga.

Maybe for a few games it doesn't make any difference, but for most games and everything else, composite is $h!tty, bad, nasty, unacceptable, crap.

The wait is nearly over ;-)

@AmigaKit,

Please bring at least one of these to AmiWest 2008 and I will buy it for sure.

Looks great and from the specs quoted, it may just be the best scandoubler/flicker fixer ever produced for the Amiga.  I wonder if it fits in the A4000(T) as well?

[amigakit]

OK - added to the Amiwest list :-)

It is the most advanced scandoubler/ff ever produced for the Amiga- it should work on the A4000T (not desktop) - however, we need confirmation from Jens first.

@CaptChaos

You wouldn't be George of Preston would you?

If so, Amigakit has some issues with their website which should be fixed up pronto.

[CaptChaos]

Yes... {bleep}...  :-o

[cv643d]

I was just wondering if Highgfx mode is as fast as hireslaced?

I mean, if it is as fast as that then it would be possible to have a relatively fast 1024x768 8 color WB for MWB for example.

I can not decide if I should preorder now or wait untill later, something tells me these are going to go for 800 dollars on ebay in a couple of years :lol:
