Indivision CD32 problems :(

gibs · 09 January 2010, 09:01

Hi,

I have ordered my Indivision AGA for CD32 at Vesalia website and at this point I am not happy at all with the product because of some problems.

1/ I ordered it to play on my LG 37" LCD TV (ref: 37LB1R-ZE). And I have no signal at all. I don't know the reason because my xbox 360 (vga) is working perfectly and so my MacMini.

2/ So I tried on my HP 24" LCD MONITOR (ref: HP w2408h). I get the Indivision logo, unfortunately it's not fullscreen. and the games are running worst than on an emulator (scrollings are awfull) (Oscar, Brian The Lion...etc)

The Indivision rom is 1.4...I know there's the 1.5 out, but I'm stuck, I don't have a amiga 4000 to flash it, and they don't provide any software with the hardware. so I'm stuck. I would like to have a BootCD for the CD32.

So I hope there's a way to fix those issue...I wanted the best for my CD32 but at this time, I prefer it's original Svideo output...even composite...

Any tricks to solve this ?

I would not recommend this product to anybody.

We may be able to make you a BootCD with Indivision Flash software for 1.5 - send us a Support email ( http://www.amigakit.com/support )

Thanks, but I have ordered the Indivision to the Vesalia website (not AmigaKit.com) is it the same brand ?

Wil the update solve those issues ?

You see Gibs, this is just how good AmigaKit are.

Item purchased from another supplier & Mathew still offers to help...awesome!

Oh, yes, it's the very same device.

No we are definately not the same Company as Vesalia. We are a different Amiga retailer.

I think he understands that & just to clarify for all, I mean same device ONLY...AmigaKit is the better retailer

You'll probably get his orders from now on after this noble act too!

Indeed that's very, very cool and unbelievable! I have create an account and opened a ticket.
Therefore, at this time, I have nothing against Vesalia, I'm still waiting their answer and how to manage the problem.
Waiting for the boot cd now to see if it will fix those issues.

Fingerlickin_B · 09 January 2010, 10:37

Cool, but for the time being, run the auto adjust function from the menu/whatever button on your HP monitor & it might get better.

Some of my monitors require this to be done in a manual fashion after booting for it to sync correctly.

1/ The problem is that the CD32 change resolution (the kickstart resolution isn't the same used on games)

2/ I don't plan to use the monitor to play games but the TV. My TV always Auto Adjust the screen, but with the Indivision AGA I have no signal at all...

I hope 1.5 will fix this issue. and I hope that after the update scrollings will be better that what I have seen because for now they are worst that on the PSP emulator

Fingerlickin_B · 09 January 2010, 11:07

No worries, but there really is something playing on my mind...

If you have not an expansion & use the CD32 only for games (not as a personal computer), then why even bother with the Indivision? S-video seems fine for games so far as I'm concerned.

@gibs

Do you own a real Amiga mouse so you can click on the buttons in the Indivision Flash utility CD ?

Also which CD32 games / utility CDs do you own? Our Boot CD will prompt for the asl.library and diskfont.library on startup so you will have to swap CDs to get these libraries loaded into RAM: automatically.

gibs · 09 January 2010, 12:11

@amigakit.com

Yes I own a mouse.
I own an Amiga 600 & Amiga 1200 (both with CF)
I own : Brian The Lion, Oscar & Digger, Disposable Hero, Pinball Illusion, Nigel Mansell, XENON 2, James Pond, ...
I found the NeonLight Workbench CD for CD32 (not burned yet).

Ok, I have just looked at the Neonlight Workbenck CD and both libraries are in.

Because of the weird Amiga signals, my TV often switch to black when "I guess" the CD32 change resolution screens. so I have to switch between another output and comeback to Svideo to retrieve the screen. Example : I'm on svideo, I switch to RGB, then I comeback to svideo.

I think that if I burn the 1.5 update on a CD the neonlight workbench will allow me to swap...

No, the CD32 will reset. You need a custom disc with all the relavent files on.

We are currently in the process of creating a CD32 Indivision flash Disc.

gibs · 09 January 2010, 21:12

Too late, I have created one

but thanks

Now I have the display on my TV , and scrollings are smooth

it's cool but I can't extend the screen to full screen...
The buttons are useless...I will post a video...

Paul_s · 09 January 2010, 21:16

Any chance the CD iso can be upped to the zone please? Mine needs 1.5 too! Thanks.

Here is the problem with config tool...

@Paul : I used the NeonLight CD, I have just added the "Indivision update" before burning it.

Use display timing, set it to manual. Then buttons will work.

NeonLight's Workbench CD allows you to change CDs without the CD32 rebooting, so even if someone doesn't know how to modify and make their own bootable CD, they can simply burn a copy of NeonLight's Workbench CD and burn their other files onto a standard CD-R, then swap the discs. Sure, making your own bootable CD is probably the best option, but this is still a viable option - http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=613893&postcount=59
