Details for the next generation of Flickerfixers from Individual Computers

[Mr B]

I meant in the original case. The desktop plastics i got, you know, with the hatch on the bottom, and stuff.

Guess i'll see soon enough, when i open the box with my unit in, and start reading the manual. Just get em ready, so i can buy one! Yesterday isn't... Oh, i said that already...

With the Mrk1, I found a good way was to stick something flat under the bottom of the case to elevate the rubber feet off the desk (eg a small towel).

im not knocking this but......why would i need a flickerfixer on an lcd screen.?

interlaced modes are solid on all the lcd's i have.does it support higher res screen modes which will be slower anyway in refreshing.

just got to ask.

and from what i can understand it just passes the modes straight through in 256 colours

If you have an LCD screen that can display your Amiga's native output, good on you. Here in the states there are only a couple of monitors that will and almost no TV sets that will display in PAL mode which is preferred for gaming. The real killer app however is the hi resolution screen modes. 800X600 etc. They refresh fine if you keep the color palette down. I run in 16 color and it works great.

[Mr B]

I don't know about you, but i have a screen that absolutely does not recognize the signal from the Amiga as a video signal.
Composite, or RGB through scart. No go.

Thats with a PAL screen, as thats what we got over here in Sweden. So just for reference. Don't get a LG, 42LX650n and hope to use it with a Amiga...

[roy bates]

what i would be interested in is a passthrough for rtg systems,does it have that?

Oh. And i was going to BUY it from you guys. Do you think i need to send Jens my address, and "good/bad list" or does he stil keep those records himself? I mean in days of outsourcing, i wouldn't want things to get mixed up, and end up without my MKII...

Im sure Jens will get to it at some point. If he can do it before Christmas then he will.
Nothing official has been announced.

LOL, now that is funny.
I asked in the past, not a good topic of discussion. Think the reply I got was "Do you have a bin, then use it" .

[johnim]

[gibs]

Release date still before 2012 ?

[Exit]

I have know idea, it depends on santa and jens i guess...maybe he suprises us hope so

Probably Anim5 format I guess, but it looked every bit as good as a (typical for the time) VHS tape being played back. I am sure it was not limited to 320 resolution, it was full NTSC resolution.

I would love to see the DCTV or Graffitti display make a come back for Classic Amiga game animations. I don't know why more programmers did not use DCTV or Graffitti to get more colorful games back when both display devices were first released.

Of course if Oliver can get us a fast chunky display from our ECS Indivisions with 8bit or 12bit color depth, that might be a better solution. Any news to tell about your progress Oliver?

I had actually seen shots from that DCTV demo, AmigaDave. It was a full-screen 768x482 - ish animation, probably in DCTV's 3-plane mode tho. I forgot the technical bits, but each DCTV screen, to the Amiga is only a plain 8-color screen, so resources needed are pretty low...
I love DCTV units, and all my working Amiga's have one.

Would REALLY love someone to do a new DCTVPaint, and how about a DCTV cel animator? (I believe it was announced, but never finished)

OK, way off topic, but I was wondering and haven't found it on the web yet..
Does Brilliance support DCTV directly?
I mean, it's Digital Creations, but I haven't seen the phrase "Supports DCTV" yet...

Just wondering. I have a DCTV, but no ability for graphics programs.
I can't even draw a straight line with a line tool in DPaint.

:-)
