  • Problems with Indivision MK3 for A1200: no audio and keyboard

    Quote from Jinx

    Hi i don’t speak English or German i use Google traslator but i don’t understand what i have to do to have audio hdmi. I am not able to enter in config tools and proceed with the settings. I understand that it is my limitation for this reason I am asking you for help otherwise I cannot exploit the qualities of the mk3 being without audio

    open the config tool, click on ‘advanced’, then under Global setting choose a mode for the audio.

  • Flashing the firmware

    Many problems can be solved if you read the manual, not only on this topic but in this forum in general.

    I already read the manual before I buy anything, I have already read a lot of manuals here.

    I can agree with what Jens says about the ACA500+, it's a new world that opens up for you.

  • Smooth 50Hz on Eizo S1933 with AGA MK3

    Quote from Flux

    Thank you, that would be great!

    I try to explain my configuration of the Indi AGA MK3...

    First of all, my Workbench runs on a screenmmode of HighGFX Super High Res Laced with 32 colors.

    The HighGFX driver you can download it from the Wiki page of Icomp http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/Indivision_AGA_MK3/doc

    Copy this driver to Devs/Monitors


    I don't know this will run smooth on a stock A1200, I have the Blizzard 1230 MK IV as aca.

    On the AGA MK3 software I use as Test Mode HIGHGFX:Super High Res Laced and the VGA Mode 1024x768 50HZ XGA


    And now for games/demos I use the following configuration with VSync:

    Test Mode is Pal: High Res Laced and VGA Mode is 1280x1024 60HZ Vesa, this VGA Mode I changed in the next step to work with VSync on the S1933 monitor.

    The Pixel clock I used is 99000000, you'll see the Vertical Freq Hz is 55.0180 and I selected the the VSync option.

    I use also the scanlines option to have the "retro feeling" and set "Darken" to 13%


    If you want I can upload my configuration file but I think you can only use it if you run the Workbench on HighGFX.

    You'll see some glitches in my pictures, it's only the pictures, not on my monitor.


  • Smooth 50Hz on Eizo S1933 with AGA MK3

    I’m the thread starter of that VSync problem.

    I can confirm on my A1200 with the AGA MK3 and S1933 this works also, very smooth scrolling games, demo’s and text.

    I’m back home next Tuesday, I will take some pictures of my configuration if this can help you.


    Edit: The Workbench is set to HighGFX (1024x768); for games and demos -> Pal HighRes 640x512. More news on Tuesday

  • ACA1221LC and ACA500+

    Old thread from myself but I can confirm now all memory is working with kickstart 3.2 from Hyperion without any errors.

    As Jens said earlier, it is not a hardware problem with the ACA1221LC.

    Jens was right again :)

  • Mk 3 problem

    Quote from Jens

    Warranty ID XT&r8 has not been returned to us. Please check with the parcel service that you have chosen for a proof of delivery.


    Edit: Oops, that's not kajko's unit, just an example picture. I thought we finally have a warranty ID... so I went the long route and checked the delivery documentation for that invoice - warranty ID YT&Ky is here, waiting for parts to return from the assembly place - the CPLD on that unit needs to be exchanged, but the tray of CPLDs is currently at the assembly place because the A4000D/CD32 versions are in production. I hope to get the SMT parts back either late this week, or early next week, then your unit can be repaired.

    yes Jens, it was just an example image to help kajko2 to find the warranty code. Maybe a tip for everyone, take a picture of your box so you have always the code with you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Indivision AGA MK3 - Tips for setting up for a 16:9 display?

    Quote from stylon

    Yes the 68030 runs pretty hot too. I've been running my A1200 with no trapdoor at all and also 1cm high rubber feet to help give it a bit more air circulation and I was happy with how it was running. However the Indi has changed all that. I'm running with no top shield now too and I will buy one of those fans off Amazon, they're only £13.50 and it looks like a perfect match looking at your photo. I like the fact that it is supposed to be very quiet too!


    Would you mind showing a photo of where/how you powered it from please? Also how did you attach the fan to the Indi - glue? Is it blowing air upwards or downwards onto the chip?


    Thanks :)

    It’s powered from the diskdrive connection from the mb, a connection with the yellow and black wire. Black goes to black of the fan and yellow to red of the fan. Those “connection things” (don’t know the name in English) from the fan to the wires of the drive are delivered with the Noctua fan. The diskdrive connection with the two extra wires can you made by yourself, I bought mine by AmigaKit.

    The fan itself is just with a little tape on both sides on the Indivision (don’t want to break the guarantee rule of the Indi. Also some very small rubber feets placed under the fan.

    It’s blowing the air upwards so it can cool a little bit the other parts.

    Quote from stylon

    Yes it's lovely and crisp - just very slightly squished vertically on a 16:9 display but I think I can live with it :)


    Sounds like we have fairly similar setups, I have the Blizzard Mk4 030 (with the SCSI add-on) and 3.1.4. I tend to find that anything lower then 64 colours leads to my icons getting messed up after a period of time using workbench. Just tested Fblit and it's working correctly again... no idea what was happening with it earlier as it definitely wasn't working then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


    Had my A1200 on all day today and noticed some corruption on screen after several hours which suggests it is heat related. Thankfully it disappeared when I enabled the CCKLine Capacitance option. My Amiga gets very warm indeed with the Indi fitted though - it used to run pretty cool before. Do you find that to be the case too? Just a bit concerned that I might need a fan or something as I don't want to stress the board/chips given the age of the machine.

    I placed a noctua a4x10 flx fan on top of the Indi and didn’t place the metal shield back on the Amiga. You can hear the fan a little when in use but it is the quietest I found. You must have a good psu to power it all. Therefore I bought the ca-psu from Jens.
    The Blizzard produce also some heat, the trapdoor I use is a honeycumb version.

  • Indivision AGA MK3 - Tips for setting up for a 16:9 display?

    I use the same screenmode but with a max of 32 colors, it's more than workable. More colors slows down the Amiga even with my Blizzard 1230 IV.

    No problems with the FBlit on my Workbench 3.1.4.

    Also to mention I use a Eizo S1933 monitor.

  • Backplate for Indivision AGA Mk3

    Quote from Beauvais

    Some time ago I bought an Indivision AGA Mk3 to my Amiga 1200 but I don't like the appearance, that there is no backplate with it - it is open directly in to the Amiga, which looks ugly and probably gives more dust inside than desired. I have no 3D printer, nor do I know any that has one, but is there anywhere I can buy a backplate for this, with the HDMI as the output port?

    Maybe this is what you search, I bought the VGA version.

  • Indivision ECS V2 with Eizo S1933 VSync problem

    Timm


    Thanks Timm for the advice! :thumbup:

    Works like a charm, scrolling is now so smooth, laced pictures without a black screen and not a black Workbench :)

    Just perfect for my needs.

    I will do the same with the Indi AGA MK3 on the A1200, I had no problem there with switching from different screenmodes, only the black screen on laced pictures.

  • Indivision ECS V2 with Eizo S1933 VSync problem

    Hi,


    Because Jens asked to make a new thread, ( Display artifacts )here we go. Timm


    I'm running my Workbench on a Pal HiRes Laced 640x512 at 50Hz with the ECS V2 config.

    In my config I have 2 profiles, 1 for the Workbench and 1 for the games (640x512 Pal HiRes 50Hz). When I enable the V-Sync on the games-profile and apply this profile I get a black screen on my Workbench.

    I just want to ask if it is possible to make a config that I don't get a black screen and can run the games, demo's with the V-Sync enabled.


    Attached are some pictures and the config file from the ECS V2 (where the V-Sync isn't enabled this time)

    Quote from Jens

    We have 50Hz-compatible Eizo monitors that are capable of displaying V-Synced PAL screens. Scrolling is much smoother with them, compared to a monitor that can't sync to such a picture.

    Hi Jens,


    I can confirm there’s no lag in Pinball Fantasies and all other games and demo’s with Pal HiRes with the option V-Sync 50 Hz on the Eizo S1933.


    I only have a problem with my Workbench screen that’s running on Pal HiRes Interlaced with the V-Sync. I get a black screen. I know that it is something with the lines the ECS V2 detect, can I make a profile that V-Sync also works on interlaced screens?


    There’s a way around when I use the HighGFX for my Workbench, but that’s only a 4 color mode on the A500.
