Copy! Meantime, brilliant work. Demos 24/7 now

bfbiii

I can only lock in demos by cheating. Putting them all in games.txt (renaming the original games and demos backup names) and then calling for Games in MiSTer_SAM.ini

No idea. But I get my demos

bfbiii

Yes, I was vague. Sorry. Normally I would launch Amigavision with its provided MGL which shows up as "Amiga" in the OSD. My other setup is just launching the RBF directly (the file provided by Update All) which is titled "Commodore Amiga." I have different settings for both. Is there a way for me to launch that MGL with SAM rath...

bfbiii

I have Amigavision & use Update All, so two main Amiga setups. I am trying to understand how I get SAM to launch the Amigavision setup. I keep launching the Update All migy. Thanks!

My dirty hack for NTSC games in the 07.17.7 release that are in widescreen is a 2nd custom resolution:

custom_aspect_ratio_2=385:303

I think you see the similarities between the EGA releases and Amiga releases when you use an NTSC monitor or use rec 601 to correct in the digital domain. I don't know a ton about the development of them except it seems people had fun

bfbiii

I was having trouble finding anything niche with the Sachs pixels; should have just gone with Defender of the Crown... but why are you calling that 5/6 PAR? That is a only 4 pixels off from exactly 6/7 PAR. Wider than 6/7 PAR technically. Defender of the Crow: 372x216 * 5x = 1860x1080 1860*(6/7) = 1594 That brings us to 1594x1080 fur the FULL Amiga...

bfbiii

I guess there is some irony here as I started this thread to demonstrate the slightly wider spec from rec 601 rather than forced 4:3, but here are other games I'm seeing that looked like they are using 1:1 pixels rather than your Jim Sachs pixels. Wings It Came From The Desert Secret of Monkey Island I Secret of Monkey Island II Indy in Atlantis Wh...

It looks like Amigavision has that set as “World” title, 60Hz: NTSC, 1:1 PAR at 5×
So...

Which is more or less what it looks like for a PAL user with a PAL monitor that doesn't switch. Maybe a deep cut, but it's a choice!

Using the "alternate" minimig rbf from the Download All Script to avoid the scaler voodo I don't know. Custom ratio for NTSC 320x200 games... [minimig custom_aspect_ratio_1=55:42 I take it you need that ratio because MiSTer is storing 330x216 for these games. 330*(6/7)/216 = 55/42 With scaling set to 1920x1080, this gives you a 320x200 pl...

It will take me a bit. I have not looked at MiSTer stuff in maybe a year, and I just checked in because I got sick! Thank you for Amigavision to pick up my spirits during that. Hopefully this weekend I can look at scaler stuff or beg for help!!!

bfbiii

I understand your response. And you are of course free to stretch to exactly 4:3 if you like. And there is no doubt artists worked from all sorts of uncalibrated monitors, and were perfectly capable of making a Commodore monitor pixel shape bend to their will. I know the 5:6 is popular and that could be enough to offer it as an option, even though ...

bfbiii

First, Amigavision is great! Second, there are even more complicated ways to do this, but I leave that for others; smarter people; people who have slept recently ;-) This covers the bare minimum. Third, unfortunately, "Jim Sachs mode" has a complication. As far as I can tell the concept that Amiga NTSC Low-res (320x200) has a 5:6 PAR is d...

Looks like you guys are releasing a MegaAGS-20220303 soon? You guys are amazing. It’s the circle of life — release a massive update, and there’s 4 things you missed, so version 2.01 needs to happen. 😜 I hope you give yourselves a nice long break instead. There is PLENTY here, and altering it to taste is at least 3/4 the fun of Amiga. I spent any f...

Don't now if you take bugreports in this thread but I've noticed that if you let Lotus 2 run for a while (20min-ish) during the title screen it will crash: Function 'resload_DiskLoad' called with unacceptable arguments This is probably a WHDLoad bug, can you reproduce on a real Amiga? Don't have one, sorry. But I can try to emulate it on my Pi to ...

There is no WHDLoad image for this game, as far as I am aware.

Final Odyssey is available in Aladin folder from EAB
"FinalOdysseyECSAGA-WHDL.lha"

Turran FTP search will name the full address

Couple minor changes to the startup-sequence and you have a nice CD32 image as well. 👍 If you let us know what kind of changes you made, we can probably find a way to include that in the next version. 😊 For CD32 you would want to comment out the call for DF0: buffers as well as calls for the shared folder. That's pretty much it. It was a bit more ...

Congrats to the team!

That's my note. Nothing appears on the OSD (for me at least). The OSD just closes. It saves. Yes, the light on MiSTer turns off, but it seems if possible the OSD should give the user feedback that it saved. If people feel differently or everyone else sees "saving..." or "saved" or something, all good.

bfbiii

Copy that. I was hoping something in the OSD would make that clear.

bfbiii

While playing Snatcher I have been saving in the MiSTer OSD after each in-game save. As a new user of this method I noticed there is no feedback for the user indicating that the save is registered. The menu just closes as it would if you hit the OSD menu button a second time. Would it be possible to indicate that a save has been registered? Otherwi...
