FLITAPE
Concerning Magni and FLITAPE in msg #76307 to Paul Vaala:
>>I don't believe the Magni works with FLITAPE. The Magni is…
I may have missed it if this was hashed out earlier, but just in case,
FYI: the Magni seems to work OK with FLITAPE with the 7750 and
DQ50p, as long as the sync and everything is set up correctly (mostly
black magic to me). What I did was
set RDPADI=..\RCPVESA.EXP,
set VTPADI=..\VTRDIAQ.EXP,
loaded a vesa driver,
loaded the DQ stuff,
then ran FLITAPE.
Of course, as you and Jonas pointed out, the Magni and realtime VGA
playback to a VCR is probably the best way to go, saving FLITAPE for
the ATVISTA and VTR setup – much cheaper. <g>
Given the choice, the only reasons I can think of for using the
Magni/FlITAPE method are if one didn't have enough memory to load an
entire (busy) flic for playback, or maybe if the flic wouldn't play
at the correct aspect ratio thru the framebuffer. Of course, another
reason might be if you woke up one day and found yourself with a
Magni, VTR, controller, and no framebuffer! Ack! <g>
