Sender: dedwards@scs.unr.edu Ok. Many people mailed me suggesting I post this list to the whole IML. When Imagine 3.0 is available I'll repost an updated list. If you have any problems with this modification: 1) Don't Blame me for your Guru. 2) Send me E-mail with your config (a2000,040,Retina,etc..) I'm curoius to see what causes Imagine to fail with this modification. Ok, here's how it works... Get a filezapper type program. (NewZap DPU FileZap Hex etc...) Look up your version of Imagine on the chart below. (If your version is not listed, Email me and I'll see if I can make one for it.) Edit the executeable at the bytes indicated in the chart. The block #s and byte #s are shown in decimal. The hex numbers in parenthesis are the hex versions of the block numbers. The bytes to modify are, of course, in hex. Replace the resolution you find there with the resolution you want. Then save the new file. (I don't have to remind you to keep a backup of Imagine on hand!) Notice that Imagine automaticly doubles the vertical resolution for use in interlace mode. So, if you want vertical resolution of 462 then you must tell it to give you 231. (231 = 00E7 in hex) Imagine Version # Horizontal Vertical FP 1.1 Block 393 ($189) Block 83 ($053) Bytes 220 & 221 Bytes 162 & 163 From 02 80 From 00 C8 (Example: To 02 BC = 700 in dec)(To 00 E7 = 231 dec) FP 2.0 Block 497 ($1F1) Block 95 ($05F) Bytes 328 & 329 Bytes 250 & 251 From 02 80 From 00 C8 INT PAL 2.0 Block 500 ($1F4) Block 94 ($05E) Bytes 124 & 125 Bytes 42 & 43 From 02 80 From 01 00 FP PAL 2.0 Block 497 ($1F1) Block 95 ($05F) Bytes 388 & 389 Bytes 244 & 245 From 02 80 From 01 0 INT 2.9 Block 1561 ($619) Block 119 ($077) Bytes 486 & 487 Bytes 480 & 481 From 02 80 From 00 C8 FP 2.9 Block 1529 ($5F9) Block 95 ($05F) Bytes 82 & 83 Bytes 168 & 169 From 02 80 From 00 C8 FP PAL 2.9 Block 1529 ($5F9) Block 95 ($05F) Bytes 146 & 147 Bytes 162 & 163 From 02 80 From 01 00 Impulse told me, in the past, that Imagine is made to run ONLY on a 640 x 400 screen. I was told that if I changed it, I would do so at my own peril. I pass this information on to you. One Final Note: Imagine PC users have a whole different program than Amiga users. This modification will not work on the PC version. I would guess that a simmilar modification for the PC version would be more complicated, given that VGA modes are more complicated than Amiga modes. I would be very interested to see someone try though. Imagine Imagineering on a 486DX2/66 with a 1024 x 768 editor screen. Now imagine Impulse telling you it will never happen. Thanks to Juha Kallioinen of Finland for the PAL numbers. ____________________________________________________________ / \ | Amiga 2000 James R.
