BlowUP030 Demoversion
This demo may be copied and passed to
others for free as long as all the
files, espacially this README remain
unchanged!
BlowUP030 (c) Georg Acher & Michael Eberl
=========================================
Warning:
--------
IF YOU HAVE A FIXED-FREQUENCIE MONITOR
(E.G. A VGA OR SVGA) NEVER SELECT THE
'MS1/2' BUTTON IN BLOWCONF.PRG!!!!!
ONLY IF YOU LEAVE THIS BUTTON UN-
SELECTED IT IS ENSURED THAT YOUR
MONITOR WON'T GET HORIZONTAL-
FREQUENCIES THAT MIGHT DAMAGE IT!
Short-Manual for the BlowUP030-Demo:
------------------------------------
Run BLOWCONF.PRG (the demo runs only in
16 colors and with the ATARI-VGA-
adapter installed) and choose the
monitor-type you are using:
VGA: fixed frequencies of
31.5kHz/60Hz
SVGA: fixed frequencies of
31.5/35.5kHz /60Hz
MS1/2: multiscans, e.g.
15-38kHz/30-55kHz at 50-100Hz
Only with a multiscan you are able to
configure your resulution live, because
they are able to display all values in
a certain range. for VGA/SVGA this
might be very dangerous.
*
* All chnges can be returned to their
* original value with UNDO (or the
* return-key)
*
LOAD CONF: displays a list of
predefined resolutins. In this
list you find the monitor-type it
is suitable for. Select one and
confir with OK to install the
resolution.
SAVE: The resolution that is configured
at the moment is saved into the
'BLOWBOOT.PRG' file in the
AUTO-folder of your boot-device
(usually C:).
* ATTENTION:
*
* BLOWBOOT.PRG has to be the last
* programm in the AUTO-folder
* (especially behind MultiTOS and
* NVDI). Select unsorted in the
* DESKTOP-menu to be sure
After the next RESET the new resolution
will be used if you boot in 16 colors.
If you do not, use the DESKTOP-menu
to switch to 16 colors.
The special ability of the
BlowUP030-system is that you are able
to configure the video-parameters very
free. Vertical and horizontal
Screen-position, left, right, upper and
lower margin, interlace-mode and
pixel-clock might be set freely (in
certain margins given by the
Falcon-hardware) TO TAKE OUT THE BEST
OF YOUR MONITOR.
If you have a multiscan and selected
then MS1/2-mode you are able to find
the maximum - step-by-step.
With BLOWCONF you are able to install
two resolutions for every color-depth.
BLOWACC enables you to select which one
or even if one of the new resolutions
is used.
The SCREEN-SAVER is the newest feauture
of BlowUP030:
If it is active it speeds up the Falcon
at up to 70% (depending on the
Color-mode and resolution).
