Whdload out in vga possibile ?

Dexther · 04 January 2009, 13:49

I just una amiga 4000 with picasso 2, I would like to exploit the video card to run games in WHDLoad through the video card and send in vga.
I knew a utility that did this, as you know his name?

It's not possible. If you want to run WHDLoad games on a VGA monitor you will need to buy a scandoubler to display "normal" Amiga screenmodes on your VGA monitor.

Or buy an Amiga 3000

With a Picasso II there is no way to send native gfx to the VGA controller.

However some very rare titles will output VGA when used with an AGA Amiga using ModePro

BUT:

You have to connect the monitor to the Amiga via the RGB port (via a sync dongle) rather than the Picasso II and install the DBLPAL / DBLNTSC monitor drivers.

Best solution for an A4000 with Picasso IV is an LCDTV which has RGB SCART (for WHDload) and VGA (for PicassoII) and switch with the remote.

I don't know about Picasso but with a Mediator PCI busboard it's possible to output WHDLoad-games through a graphics card (in a window).

And I notice that you didn't say how... a PCI TV card perhaps? How crap is that?

Some games do work with P96 fakenative driver; I got about 30-40% to work on my PicassoIV. Just a curiosity.

interesting, wanna list your successes?

It was almost 10 years ago - must see if some list remains somewhere. But F1GP didn't - it was the main culprit for that test...

I thought that P96 Fake Native Modes was for OS4 on non classic hardware? Together with Blitzen the blitter emulator. I didn't think either was for OS3.x classic hardware are they?

BTW F1GP works in DBLPAL/DBLNTSC with ModePro.

Now you mentioned about its crappiness, i'd like to add that i'm not playing normal PAL games through a graphics card window and not even through a SD-FF. I use a separate TV-set now

! Much more natural picture quality than through a monitor

It was developed to get output from the 15 kHz modes to those with only 31 kHz monitors, you can see where it's added to P96 changelogs. Can't remember exactly, probably 2.0 in 1999.
