Indivision AGA Mk2: Config Tool 1.1, Core 2.6
Individual Computers has released an update for the configuration tool of the scandoubler Indivision AGA Mk2. With this update it is now possible to save complete configurations and to switch back to the last saved configuration with the Undo-function.
Additionally a software update of the "core" of the scandoubler was released which fixes some bugs:
- Counters for upper and lower padding areas have been corrected:
The number of lines on the output side is now correct, even if black
borders need to be added at the top and bottom.
- if the output side has reached the end of pixel data in memory, it
has ended the line prematurely. This lead to an unexpected increase
of output frequencies. These new cores now insert black pixels until
the user-set number of output pixels is reached. In other words: Even
if you enter an insanely large output window that the Amiga does not
output, the frequency that the config tool displays will be met.
- the blue colour component was shifted to the right - fixed in this
core.
- the lower 4 bits of the green colour component was taken from the
neighbouring pixel, which is also fixed in V2.6.
- the critical path of pixel data going into and out of the memory
chip has been shortened: The flickering vertical red line does not
appear any more.
- some power settings of the FPGA were way too high. These have been
reduced to the required minimum, so the FPGA does not crash any more
when higher pixel clocks are being used.
- the two rightmost pixels of the screen were not displayed at all,
which is corrected in V2.6. If you still see a vertical red line at
the right border, then this is an indicator that you are trying to
view a part of the screen that is already way outside the overscan
area. Although the Amiga does not output this line the way that
Indivision dosplays it, we will NOT fix this. Instead, you should
set the output window size to a sane amount of pixels that comes
halfway close to what the Amiga is generating.
Another way of fixing that red line is to use the tool Borderblank:
This will also get rid of the red line.
