Screens > 640 in “Amos Professional Unity”?

PerspexSphinx · 24 June 2021, 14:57

Is it possible to display a picture with a pixel width of 7o4 in “Amos Professional Unity” and view the full width? 704 is divisible by 16 which is a requirement for Screen Open width in AGA (I think) and “Amos Professional Unity” will load and display it fine, just not the full width (seems bigger than 640 though).

You can use screen offset to scroll around large displays. I don't know if overscan works on Amos.

Thank you,
Yes I am aware that you can scroll it, but I would like to display the full width.
It’s actually 704 by 512 in 256 colours (is this considered overscan) which I am experimenting with the “Unity Fade” command, it works fine, I just want to view the entire picture.
Does anyone know if “Amos Professional Unity” can do this or if it supports Overscan?

Because it's more than 640 pixels horizontally, it's definitely overscan video. Since it's less than 1280 pixels horizontally, it's not super-hires either.

The reason I don't think overscan is supported from AmosPro Unity is that sprites don't function when the left border is overwritten.
