% Hi...
% What's the name of that patch? And where's it available?
% Thanks ... -- Anthon
Sorry to waste bandwidth, but my retarted mailer is broken.:-(
Anthon,
The patchNTSC is on the Star Trek 3 disk 1 in the C directory. If you don't
have it on yours, try getting the warped copy from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov in
the /incoming/amiga/GAMES/StarTrek3 directory. You could also try
/incoming/amiga TobiasTrek(??) but I'm not sure the patch is there, as I
didn't download it.
Hope that helps,
Parker

A better solution, I have found, is to use the program "PalBOOT" from the comp.sources.amiga archive (v90i113). It is accompanied with the similar NTSCBoot as well. Using PalBOOT (which boots the Amiga 500/2000 etc) into Pal mode works PERFECTLY with TobiasTrek. You get a full screen display (not the scrunched interlace stuff with patchNTSC). Try it out, it works great. I have tried other Pal-modem switching programs, but PalBOOT is the only one I have found that works with almost everything. -- dean@coplex.UUCP Dean A.

Everything except my "stock" Amiga 1000, it seems.

This unfortunately only works with those machines that have the new Agnus chip. For those of us with the original 500/2000 series computers (who haven't bothered to upgrade), this does not work. -- | // .______.

Or my friends 2000 (WITH the new agnus chip!). We ran palboot from the cli. It just blanked the screen. so we rebooted, thinking that maybe it will come up in pal mode... Nope, we get a software failure requestor. What gives? how do you use palboot anyway? The docs just had one line in it that said something like: "this will let you boot up in PAL mode". I might just have a flakey copy of palboot, or I may be using it wrong. or palboot may be a piece of sh*t. let me know. -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.

With the version I have, you simply run the program with no options, the machine resets and you are then in Pal mode. In case you have a different version, or it is corrupted, I have included a uuencoded copy of the version I am currently used. The below file was extracted directly from the archive of sources.amiga vol/issue number v90i113. The executable is VERY small, and should be exactly 68 bytes long after uudecoding. NOTE: This will only work with the 1meg Fat Agnus chipset. ---- Cut Here ---- begin 664 PALBoot M```#\P`````````!```````````````(```#Z0````@L>``$3J[_:D?Y`-_Q0 7HG(@+'@``DOY``-!($YP3M5.<0```_((? `` end size 68 --- Cut Here ---- -- dean@coplex.UUCP Dean A.
