When you install the new Super Denise chip, you get a whole host
of new resolution modes with it. Here is a list of the new resolutions
the Super Denise offers:
(1) 640x480, non-interlaced. 4 colors out of 64.
(2) 640x960, interlaced, 4 colors out of 64.
(3) 1280x200, non-interlaced. 4 colors out of 64.
(4) 1280x400, interlaced. 4 colors out of 64.
In addition to these, NTSC users get new PAL resolution modes, and
PAL users get new NTSC resolution modes. Here are the new modes that NTSC
users get:
(5) 320x256, non-interlaced. Up to 6 bit-planes, from 4096 colors.
(6) 320x512, interlaced. Up to 6 bit-planes, from 4096 colors.
(7) 640x256, non-interlaced. Up to 4 bit-planes, from 4096 colors.
(8) 640x512, interlaced. Up to 4 bit-planes, from 4096 colors.
The old (NTSC) flickerFixer will only de-interlace the 320x400 and
640x400 interlaced modes. With the Super Denise chip, you get FOUR
additional interlaced resolution modes, which the old flickerFixer
will not touch.
My question is this: is there a chance for a new Super flickerFixer,
which will de-interlace all the interlaced modes of the new Super Denise
chip? While Commodore does add a new 640x480 non-interlaced mode,
they add a whole plethura of useful modes which are interlaced. In
particular, it would be really nice if the new 1280x400 and 640x960
modes could be de-interlaced, as these would be very convenient modes
to have -- if de-interlaced.

This would require roughly doubling of the HSync frequency at which the flickerFixer runs (currently 31.5 kHz). I don't think many could afford a monitor that runs at ~64 kHz. > > > -MB- ------------ ------------------------------ Dan Cogswell "Gangster Fun -- It's the beat (313)625-3234 that you can wig-out to..."
