Indivision AGA MK2cr issues

[Retrofan]

Looks good. Can you save the config and post it here?

[trixster]

Sure, but I suspect configs may be specific to the monitor they run on, so my 50hz setup might not produce a totally smooth output on a different model or brand.

Have you tried Aliens Breed Tower assault to see if both up and down borders are visible?

[trixster]

Havent tried it mate, will give it a go now.

Have a look here for my config.

The bottom border shows perfectly and is aligned correctly at the bottom of the monitor. There's a tiny amount of the top border missing, maybe 4 pixels. I'm guessing it uses a slightly bigger than 320x256 resolution.

I've tried it in my 16:9 Tv and it's a very nice config. Anyway I've changed the V-offset to 12 instead of 14 so Tower Assault looks right.

Anyway it looks like your Tv changes smoother between configs.

If you agree I will add it to my AKReal Indivision configs in my next update.

[trixster]

No problems! Glad you like it.

Does the CR have Vsync? I thought it didn't but this product page says it does:

http://amigastore.eu/en/194-indivisi...kerfixer-.html

"Two options have been added for retro-gaming enthusiasts that allow a step-by-step approximation to the display of an old TV set: Vertical synchronisation allows reducing the output frequency down to 49.9 Hz, which will eliminate tearing effects. In addition to that, a scanline emulation can be switched on. This will simulate the dark lines between the scanlines of a TV screen. "

Both MkII versions are identical from a functional standpoint. The only difference between the old version and the CR version is the PCB layout and the DVI connector. The website is lying when it says that it has vsync, unless Jens just released a new core for it (which I doubt).

Hi!

I am new to the forum and amiga 1200 user. I bought the MK2CR, but you share the preset for your 15 "square monitor ... retrofan setting is 17" square on the monitor, but it slides up at 15 ". Will you be a helper?

Check out the zone I put up a bunch of configs...gl

Got an Indivision AGA Mk2 for my A1200 recently and finally had time to install it yesterday. The picture is crisp but there appears to be an issue with the colours such that everything in tinted slightly purple. See the links below from a vanilla WB3.1 and game screens for comparisons between RGB and Indivision outputs:

[Haven't bothered with the borders and the config tool yet because of the colour issue].

This seems to be the same problem that Blaster reported in this thread but was there a solution was found to this?

[indigolemon]

Hmm, not noticed this issue with mine, but then I haven't ran it side by side with a crt. I'll try it later and see what I get.

To the naked eye the discoloration is clear even with just the Indivision output. Everything has a purple/pink hue...

[eteP]

Tried unplugging, cleaning contacts on the MB and Indi with IP alcohol, reseating, with the original DVI connector and with an HDMI connector built by a.mi.goun at Amibay and with two LCD displays. The result is the same with all combinations: some shades of grey appear as purple through the Indivision. In the output from the RGB port the colours are correct. Faulty Indi?

[indigolemon]

Is the Indi set to output both VGA and DVI - I've flipped mine to only do VGA as that's what I use, just in case there's some interference?

I'm not noticing any purple-ness with mine - sorry

Installed the configuration utility but no luck with the colours: they are wrong with DVI only, VGA only, and DVI+VGA settings...

I had something like this when I got my Indivision years ago shortly after it was launched, but it was fixed through a firmware update. This was before the CR version was made so I don't think that particular problem was ever present with those.

Do you have any green colors at all? Because it looks like you could be missing the green color and if you do, then I would think it is caused by a break in the video cable.

I have green colours, here are examples from the Palette prefs from Indi and RGB outputs:

I have two cables (original with DVI connector and a custom one with HDMI out) and I get the same colour artefacts through both.

Ohhhh, biscuits. You sir, are a rock star. I was about to tear the Indivision from my A1200 and chuck it at the dog - for the life of me I couldn't get the bloody thing to display any whdload games outside of a tiny window centered on my screen. Copied your config, and seems like it's working nicely now. (Well, might need a bit of tweaking for my monitor, but still.)
