Santa's come early... A new scandoubler from Individual Computers - Page 17

yes you can X-ray!

Ok I managed to flash to 1.1 and then got HighGFX running v40.6. Performance in 1024x768 is good when you drop the colors right down.

I have a few problems with V0.9 of the config tool. The Screen position arrows don't seem to do anything and I can't seem to work out how to configure it to run at a higher refresh in WB (eg 60hz+) and a lower one for games (50hz to get rid of the judder)....anyone manage this?

I've also got a weird bit of corruption on the very last line of the display (flickers on and off?).

@Novacoder.

You need to save default settings first to the Indi when reflashed with the new firmware to be safe.

To adjust the display click "Use Display Timing" Box to change to User Settings mode and away you go, If you lose display just reset your A1200 as the settings have NOT been saved.
Note pressing "save" will write these values to the Indi to default to on startup....

Changed it to 'user settings', changed the hsync to 40.7 and the vsync to 65, saved and reset my 1200. Settings have been saved but the screen is still flickering slightly in WB which my monitor confirms with a reading of FH 40.7 and a FV of 49.6? So the FH reading displayed by the config tool is accurate but the FV is a porky pie? The only way I can get the FV up is if I change the 'scanmode' to 1.25 which changes the FH to 50.9 and the FV to 62.1 (reported by the monitor).

Also the screen timing +/- seems to work the opposite way (minus increases and plus decreases?), the FH setting also changes the FV setting but not the other way around.

And finally the screen position arrows in the config tool do nothing for me? Do they work ok for you?

im noticing that my system hangs if I soft boot it with the '3 finger salute' ...I have to shut her down form the psu and wait 20 seconds or so to get it up & running again......not a big deal but just noticed it happening after installing the indivision aga card

NovaCoder · 21 September 2008, 00:31

I managed to fix the corruption on the bottom of the screen in WB by changing display modes (currently running Multiscan & VGA only). I've also changed the config to 'use standard (ie driver) settings which means my WB refresh is now at 60HZ and games run at 50HZ.

I also noticed in the instructions it shows the VGA cable routed over the lower heat-shield under the floppy. This is how I originaly mounted mine but I've now put in under the heat-shield as the weight of the floppy was squashing the cable...something to watch out for.

Rixa · 21 September 2008, 11:27

@klx300r:

I had that some time after flashing the new firmware. I'm not sure if I had saved settings after flashing, but doing so did fix it.

Paul_s · 21 September 2008, 16:34

ok, has anyone tried theirs in a CD32 yet? I'm going to buy one anyway in the near future when I get my hands on a 1200 but would love to see one tried out in a 32

edit: ignore me - just seen the earlier replies

@klx300r

If your system hangs after a reset then your board is not secured properly to the motherboard.

T_hairy_bootson · 22 September 2008, 12:26

\o/ Arrived today, workbench seems to be flicky using an old version of highgfx I had installed previously and using many higher screen modes. Games seem to run rock solid. Time to download the config tool and updated core.

Thanks Jens and thanks amigakit.

EDIT:/ Wow, didn't take long to kill it. Flashed to the newer firmware and then saved the default settings on the config tool. Now I am getting nothing, plugged my multisync into the rgb port and the colours were all screwy so I reflashed the indivision and repeated the above procedure. Colours are fine on my multisync via the rgb monitor again but getting nothing on the TFT via the indivision. Repeated the flash procedure several times and nothing is happening. Flash tool reports the FPGA is not configured. Where is this recovery adf on Jens' website? All I can find pertaining to the indivision is the 0.9 config with 1.1 core. Could someone send me their backup of the 1.0 core as I stupidly did not back this up.

DDNI · 22 September 2008, 14:25

can the core be put in the zone? If so I wiil put it there soon.

T_hairy_bootson · 22 September 2008, 14:34

Used the core alexh posted earlier in this thread. its working again. More experimentation tomorrow I guess, getting late here.

ppill · 22 September 2008, 15:14

Over at amiga.org some people are experiencing problems with fitting Indivision on an HP Lisa chip. Anyone can confirm?

TheCorfiot · 22 September 2008, 15:18

@ppill

Read that earlier, My Indivision is installed on my 1D2 Motherboard which has a HP LISA & If the A1200 is soft dropped by 10mm, It pops straight off.

Would like to know how everyone else is doing too, maybe there is a connection regarding the HP LISA

keropi · 22 September 2008, 15:31

I had problems too with making it fit right... it would just pop out! whereas my DCE sd/ff was rock-steady... I had to push it into place, put on-top of it a THICK towel, and then hammered it a little with the back of a large screwdriver... lame way, but now it is OK...

@keropi,, My Indivision does appear to be flush with the Mobo & it did produce a click as I pushed it down.

Is your LISA a HP type by any chance???

it's also said on this thread that "star trek 25th anniversary AGA" does not work anymore..it's not that i love this game, but this may constitue the first in a serie of collateral damages...can somebody with a fully functional indivision updated to the latest core test and report it pls? thk you

God Bless Amiga

keropi · 22 September 2008, 18:51

@TC: no, no clicking sounds for me, but it is stuck now... My DCE had a slight clicking sound IIRC... for now it is secured I think... my mobo is an old 2B one IIRC...

also I HIGHLY DOUBT that a scandoubler, beind a "stupid" device that only steals video signals can cause a game not to work...?
