Lynn|A4000meow! :D15:48
Lynn|A4000I already posted a huge thing about this on bsky/mastodon but i'll lurk in here as well just in case :D15:48
Lynn|A4000i just found out my zz9000 is (seemingly) outputting at 61Hz for 720/1080p modes and i was wondering why15:49
minuteLynn|A4000: i just saw!17:09
minutedigging in the firmware, there's also ZZVMODE_1920x1080_5017:11
minutehmm hmm zzwrite16(&registers->mode, mode|(colormode<<8)|(scalemode<<12));17:14
minuteZZVMODE_1920x1080_50 is mode 717:15
minuteso one could poke 7|(0<<8) for 8bit 1920x1080@50hz to the mode register17:15
minuteregister base is the board address17:16
minuteREG_ZZ_MODE           = 0x02,17:17
minuteso you wanna do, in mon: pokew 40000002 717:18
minuteLynn|A4000: after setting the normal 1920x1080 8 bit in screenmode17:18
minuteif the card is at 4000000017:19
minute(otherwise, adjust)17:19
minutethere is also a "custom" mode where you can freely define the modeline. i wonder why noone has ever written a tool for this17:19
Lynn|A4000oh uhhhh I don't know how to do this tbh :D I don't think I have mon installed?17:22
Lynn|A4000this might be a little beyond me but i'm okay to try things :D i'm just a little stupid17:23
minuteLynn|A4000: here you go https://aminet.net/package/dev/moni/mon16517:30
minuteLynn|A4000: you get the board address by using the amigaos standard tool "showconfig" for example. it's the address where the zz9000 lives in amiga's address space17:31
minuteLynn|A4000: if you tell me the board address i can tell you the exact command17:31
Lynn|A4000alright, gimme a moment ^^17:32
Lynn|A4000BOARDS:17:35
Lynn|A4000 Board + ROM (HD?) (unidentified):   Prod=28014/4($6D6E/$4)17:35

Lynn|A4000     (@$F00000, size 64K, subsize same)17:35
Lynn|A4000also the current mode i'm using is 1920x1080 16bit fwiw17:36
Lynn|A4000(32bit doesn't work right, which is a whole different thing :D)17:36
minuteok so 40000000 is the board address17:37
minuteok 16 bit, hang on...17:37
minuteso in mon try this: pokew 40000002 26317:38
minutei think it should then switch to 1920x1080@50hz 16 bit17:38
Lynn|A4000ok, gonna give it a shot :D17:40
minutei'm also booting the a3000 here to test if i told you the right thing...17:40
- Lynn|A4000 (QUIT: Quit: brb reboot) (~lynn@188.212.113.122)17:41
minuteactually the number has to be in hex maybe hm17:41
minuteyeah so it should be 10717:41
+ Lynn|A4000 (~lynn@188.212.113.122)17:42
Lynn|A4000okay that completely killed the video output :D17:42
minuteyeah you were gone unfortunately17:43
minutethe number has to be 107 not 26317:43
minute(hexadecimal)17:43
Lynn|A4000oop :D17:43
minuteso: pokew 40000002 10717:43
minute(i tried that on the a3000 and now it says... well 51hz lol)17:43
Lynn|A4000yea i'm connected to irc from the amiga, i can connect elsewhere :D17:44
Lynn|A4000ideally i'd wanna achieve 60Hz fwiw, i just don't understand why it's ~1Hz over17:44
Lynn|A4000most everything seems to tolerate it though so it's never come up before17:45
minuteyeah i can't investigate/fix that right now because i'm on really tight deadlines17:46
minutejust wanted to give you a workaround option17:46
minutemaybe alternatively you could find someone who can code a bit of C (or basic or whatever really) and can wire up the custom modeline register17:46
minutethen you could completely customize the screen mode17:47
+ LynnDrumm (~mail@188.212.113.122)17:47
Lynn|A4000yeah, it's 51Hz now lol :D17:49
minuteso that doesn't work either?17:49
Lynn|A4000well, yeah, the HDMI->SDI converter doesn't like that either no17:51
minuteok!17:51
Lynn|A4000((this is very much a problem i created for myself, fwiw, but it would solve a lot of problems if i could get 60Hz out of the zz9k ^^))17:52
minuteLynn|A4000: if you know someone who can code for the amiga and has a bit of time on their hands, i can tell them how to make a tool to make custom modes available17:52
minuteone just needs to write all the mode numbers using the registers REG_ZZ_CVMODE_PARAM and REG_ZZ_CVMODE_VAL and then switch to mode 1817:54
