gdonnerAnyone else missing the new 1600x1200 screenmode from 1.9 release? The other two modes show in the list, but not that one for some reason.18:08
gdonnerAlso, not sure if it's my monitor, but the 720x480 mode does some weird stuff on my Dell U2211H:18:09

gdonner@_Bnu and mntmn: Many thanks for the new screen modes! :) You made my day18:29
gdonner(after the bugs are worked out lol)18:29
mntmnhehe18:34
mntmngdonner: yeah your monitor can't do this mode then i guess18:34
mntmngdonner: hmm did i forget to include the 1600 mode in the prefs file? :018:35
+ apolkosnik[m] (~apolkosni@2001:470:69fc:105::ff7)18:38
gdonnernot sure; I don't see it in my screenmodes prefs? the other two modes are there18:38
apolkosnik[m]The 1600x1200 is awesome, I had to plug my A4000 into my 4k monitor, and it looks phenomenal18:39
gdonnermy Dell does fully support that mode too (75.0 kHz, 60.0 Hz, 162.0 MHz)18:39
gdonnersync polarity +/+18:39
gdonnerI'll take another look through the screenmodes just in case I missed it18:40
mntmnapolkosnik[m]: so 1600x1200 was in your modes list yeah?18:40
apolkosnik[m]Oh, wait I'm actually using 2560x144018:41
mntmnhaha!!18:41
mntmnwell that's another story18:41
mntmnit's the native resolution of my eizo18:41
apolkosnik[m]Nah, I was wrong, 1600x1200 was not on my mode list18:42
gdonnerah good; not just me :)18:43
apolkosnik[m]I really dislike the fact that P96 doesn't have any nice way to show you the version 18:45
apolkosnik[m]I think that I have 3.1.218:46
mntmnok my mistake then :|18:47
mntmnyou can create the resolution yourself btw18:47
mntmnjust create a new one in p96mode and set it to 1600 x 120018:47
mntmnand make a 8 bit and 16 bit mode18:48
gdonnerok thanks; I assume any new release will fix that18:48
gdonnerBTW, I get a near instant guru on my A3000 on cold boots; subsequent reboot loads Workbench fine18:49
gdonnerwill try to grab a photo/vid of the guru18:49
mntmn:018:49
gdonnerI'm suspecting some kind of AutoConfig issue, seeing as it happens almost instantly18:50
gdonnermight be my system though--don't want to assume too much18:51
apolkosnik[m]It wasn't hard to add it18:54

mntmnok cool... i'm updating the ZZ9000Installer1_9.lha18:56
gdonnerI captured some footage (will post link), but the guru is: Error: 8000 0004   Task: 0780330818:58
mntmnupdated https://mntre.com/media/ZZ9000_info_md/ZZ9000Installer1_9.lha with missing 1600x1200 mode18:58
gdonnercool, thanks!18:58
mntmngdonner: probably autoboot related, what is your cpu? do you have a usb stick inserted?18:58
gdonnerI do, but not in the ZZ9000; the RapidRoad18:58
gdonnerI'm using a 25 MHz A364018:59
mntmnyeah, i meant the zz ^^18:59

mntmnyou could try the -nofast or -noautoboot versions of the z3 firmware 18:59
mntmni suspect one of them will not guru18:59
gdonnerok cool--will give them a try18:59
gdonnerthx18:59

Jopehttps://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2006 distressing news from ntsc land21:32
Jopewould have thought gdonner had complained a lot if it is so broken on ntsc21:32
Jopemntmn, if you would like an ntsc main osc, I can send  you one21:33
Jopeit is subtly different from a pal machine running in ntsc mode21:33
mntmnJope: well... maybe it's just the 720x480 mode21:34
mntmni think we had 640x480 before21:34
mntmnJope: ah i see @ subtly different21:36
mntmnJope: i don't see any pics in that article though of problems21:36
mntmnJope: is that something i could just plug into my a2k? 21:37
mntmnwho here has an NTSC machine?21:39
mntmnalso, how do i identify an ntsc amiga? maybe my a3000 is actually one21:41
mntmnbecause i bought it from the US21:41
KKwouldn't on a4000 just changing the jumper and the oscillator convert it to the ntsc one?21:45
mntmnyeah i thought there was a jumper in some model21:46
mntmnunfortunately my a4000 is broken (i think)... i can try to see if it works today21:46
mntmnbut i bought my a3000d from chris hanson and pretty sure it was from the US, but maybe he had a pal version anyway21:46
KKi've bunch of 28.37516 oscillators but no 28.6something?? was it or something like that21:47
KKnot sure about a3k21:48
Jopemntmn, yea ez.. shove in osc and toggle pal ntsc jumper21:50
Jopeperhaps worth doing tests in both jumper settings wirh both oscs21:51
apolkosnik[m]28.6363621:53
mntmnJope: a3000 has a pal/ntsc jumper?21:55
mntmnosc in my a3000 is 28.6363mhz21:55
KKhttp://www.l8r.net/technical/t-3000-jumpers.shtml21:56
mntmna4000 has 28.3751621:56
mntmnso my a3000 _is_ ntsc21:56
mntmnthanks KK21:56
KKi do remember tho there were some discrepancies with the above jumper list on my early a3k when i had it *shrug*21:58
mntmnlol found the jumper21:58
mntmnok so my a3000d is fully ntsc now21:58
KKyou could ship the PAL oscillator to the over the pond folk as well :P21:58
KKyou could just ship the PAL oscillator to the over the pond folk as well :P21:58
mntmnbut why21:59
mntmni am developing on the NTSC machine all the time!21:59
mntmni just had the jumper set to PAL21:59
mntmnthe article is just bullshit21:59
JopeOk, cool.. you can already get the combos22:00
Jopeyeah, i wonder why they are having problems but are not working to get them to your knowledge22:01

mntmnyeah22:02
mntmnit might be the weird 720x480 screenmode22:02
apolkosnik[m]My Samsung TV doesn't like to display any 50Hz modes, only likes 60Hz22:05
mntmntsk tsk!22:05
apolkosnik[m]Maybe that's the problem22:05
KKshouldn't the 800x600@60 flag work for them?22:05
mntmni think that is only active for PAL22:06
mntmnbut let me check22:06
apolkosnik[m]Yeah, that was the last piece of equipment I bought from Samsung, never again22:07
KKI'm thinking of getting an Eizo S2133, anyone has any experience?22:09
mntmndunno but i have an old eizo as my main work monitor22:21
mntmnit is not super tolerant of weird modes though22:21
mntmnthe LGs here are more tolerant22:21
mntmnfor Z3, please try this alternative firmware that uses 800x600 for NTSC (not centered correctly, it's only to check if that works): http://dump.mntmn.com/BOOT.bin-20211007-ntsc800x60022:21
mntmn(if you have ntsc troubles)22:21
KKI'm currently using an old Philips 200P and it's ok tolerance wise etc it's just that the panel is crap and suffers from retention. Got a spare panel somewhere but to lazy to exchange and see if the other panel is any better22:26
KKThere's always something else to do :P  Spent half a day today building custom SpeedyMouse firmwares for the crappy hacky amigastore.eu board version to suit my a4k and the mx anywhere 2s mouse. If anyone has trouble with that thing feel free to ping me22:30
apolkosnik[m]Ha... So, once I checked scan double and interlace in Picasso96Mode for 800x600, the screen wasn't duplicated horizontally22:33
apolkosnik[m]And went to 60 Hz from 6122:33
apolkosnik[m]The Hz reading is from my monitor's info display22:35
mntmnapolkosnik[m]: ntsc interlace with the test fw?22:37
apolkosnik[m]Sorry, still on the 1.922:38
mntmnhmm then no idea what you are testing!22:39
mntmnah you checked these options22:39
mntmnthese options are meaningless i think22:39
KKhm... just upgraded to 1.9 z3 and my a4k is stuck in end endless reboot loop22:45

mntmnKK: hmmmm power issue?22:50
mntmnmy a4000 also had a reset loop but i figured it to be the broken a4000...22:50
KKworks fine with 1.822:51
mntmnok strange! can you try the nofast version?22:52
KKye, already on it. bloody sd card is a pain in the ass to get out. give me a few min22:52

gdonner@Jope: (re: would have thought gdonner had complained a lot if it is so broken on ntsc)22:54
gdonner@Jope: it is broken on NTSC; actually most stuff is broken :(22:55
gdonnerThe -noautoboot firmware gives me a yellow screen on cold boot, then locks up when trying to open a 1600x1200 screen (just the WB menu appears)22:56
+ KK71 (~KK@93-142-33-134.adsl.net.t-com.hr)22:56
KK71same thing with z3 nofast22:56
gdonnerthe -nofastram firmware also yields the same guru as the original 1.9 firmware, and the NTSC mode is pushed to the right22:56
mntmngdonner: you are on a3000?22:57
gdonneryes22:57
mntmngdonner: can you try this one? http://dump.mntmn.com/BOOT.bin-20211007-ntsc800x60022:57
gdonnerso far, the most stable seems to be the original (released) 1.9 firmware and original 1.9 drivers22:57
gdonnersure; will try it (after dinner; will report back)22:58

gdonneryes; sorry23:01
gdonneri.e. it crashed once on cold boot, but after that seemed fine and stable23:01
gdonnerFWIW?23:01
gdonnerbut will test the ntsc800x600 after dinner and let you know how it goes23:02
KK71lol i lost the sd card. at first i though i maybe stuffed it into the usb port but it's not there and no way it could have fallen through into the case23:05
KK71completely bizarre23:08
KK71ok, found it inside the case. no idea how i managed to do that23:14
KK71ah, the cutout is just big enough to slide the card above the slot and into the case23:15

KK71mntmn: ok, so, with noautoboot fw it appears to work fine. i've switched again to the standard 1.9. when deneb is also plugged in amiga will get stuck in an endless reset loop23:45
KK71when i unplug the deneb (zz is now the only card) the cold boot ends up in guru, after the soft reboot if manages to boot to wb23:46
mntmnKK71: but with noautoboot you don't have the guru?23:47
KK71no, with noautoboot is boots straight up just fine23:47
KK71i dont have any other z3 cards but will try to plug in some z2 cards now23:48
KK71plugged in the repulse. same thing. endless reset loop23:50
KK71repulse is z223:50
mntmnendless reset loop with autoboot version now?23:51
KK71yep. if i have deneb or repulse plugged in it will end up in endless reset loop. if zz is the only card it will guru on cold boot but boot up after the soft reboot23:52
KK71ks 3.223:52
