FB> FB> Is there a way to open a flickerfree 640*512 hires screen noninterlaced FB> in Amos? I would appreciate any help! There is always a way to do this. Currently, I don't have enough hardware docus about AGA, but I managed to 'open' a 640x512 (overscanned 736x580) interlace screen in 256 AGA colours and AGA fades using my own copperlist. The biggest problem is, that AMOS seems to reserve the screen memory using AllocMem rather using AllocRaster which causes some really bad effects: In AGA the prefetch modes require 64-bit aligned screen data AND widths that are a multiple of 64, otherwise the display will be quite currupted. Using AllocMem the memory blocks may not be 64-bit aligned. The following text has been cut out from HowToCode7: ---------------------->cut<------------------------------------------ Fetch Mode Required for Displays -------------------------------- *ALL* ECS and lower screenmodes require only 1x datafetch. All modes run *FASTER* with at least 2x bandwidth, so try and use 2x bandwitdh if possible. Planes Colours Fetchmode LORES (320x256) 6 64 1 7 128 1 8 256 1 8 HAM-8 1 HIRES (640x256) 5 32 2 6 64 2 7 128 2 8 256 2 8 HAM-8 2 SUPER-HIRES 1 2 1 (1280x256) 2 4 1 3 8 2 4 16 2 5 32 4 6 64 4 7 128 4 8 256 4 8 HAM-8 4 PRODUCTIVITY 1 2 1 (640x480,etc) 2 4 1 3 8 2 4 16 2 5 32 4 6 64 4 7 128 4 8 256 4 8 HAM-8 4 This table only shows the minimum required fetchmode for each screen. ---------------------->cut<------------------------------------------ Fetchmodes of 1 are not a problem whereas 2 and 4 are. (Everyone can try this out by Doke-ing $3 into $DFF1FC, to restore the value simple press Amiga-A twice). One more problem: AGA colours. There are no 256 24-bit colour registers, but the same 32 OCS 12-bit colour registers for all the colours. They are accessed by using a special register which switches between the eight upper-bits and the eight lower-bits colour banks. Very complicated and hardly any chance to get it into AMOS Screens. FB> By the way, I am programming in Amos Pro 2.0 and I like the new editor, FB> but I would truely like to include different colours in the scource-code FB> while editing to emphazise the different level of commands etc. Very good idea...

Escom produce PCs, that look nice from outside and are very cheap (perhaps the cheapest) and they don't last for more than a few months. These PCs were made for the stupid people, who have never seen a computer in there life (and in fact, they will never see a *real* computer ;-) ), buy this crap and then you have no support or anything. Escom is my personal nightmare. If they get the licence to produce Amigas, it *will* be IMHO the end of this great computer. :-( Bye, Chris Hodges <chris@surprise.rhein-ruhr.de> __ __ A500/290/CD/'30er; German Extension-Coder __ /// / / _____ GCS d H s-:++ !g p? !au a18 w++ v?

There COULD be some structural errors if the font is not found but I programmed it so to avoid this. Do not call this procedure if there is no current open screen.
