I'm currently running 640x512 interlaced, via Indivision AGA mk3, so I guess I'm good. I've not benchmarked recently, but I'll do tomorrow. Need to connect up my Amiga again, as I've been using the space to test out my Sun Ultra 5. But this seems like a really odd issue, but fortunately one that appears to have workarounds. Great working figuring this one out :)
Interesting vid Dr Chris. Watched “Q” on his channel (Hold and Modify) go about this also. I too have one of those new port holders from centurion tech 😉 Cheers 🍻

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thank you for the answer, now im sold on that PiStorm. Do you know if they are able to fix this with a patch? Or is it fully hardware related? I'm on a PAL Amiga 1200 and only using RGB so that should not be a problem or am I missing anything? Again thanks for the answer, had reservations on the PiStorm but not anymore.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Found a video where he is trying sysinfo 4.4 and 4.0. They show Chip Speed 2.28 and 7.20 respectively. He mentoins a new Beta version too.
Is there a version of PiStorm with no potential copyright violations so I can get a pre-configured Amiga system and desktop not including Amiga ROMs? Or am I misunderstanding the reasons for the huge download size which supposedly include a huge number of games?
@@LemaruX That's good and thanks for confirming. I've often heard people talking about getting releases via Discord, whereas the GitHub repos all seem to be unchanged. So long as GitHub isn't being ignored in favor of Discord.
@@ffsireallydontcare The only releases people would get from discord are test builds for people to test to see if an issue is resolved. Any fixes or anything that are implemented are always pushed to github as this is where the projects are hosted.
Discord works fine for everyone else. Where else should it be? Certainly not Facebook, though we have the PiStorm Facebook group which I share any new info and developments, but you wont find any development chat or the developers there. Guess we are just "disk heads" though
@@LemaruX Forums used to work a treat before big tech stole everyone's brains (and personal information). It's Discord that's run by disk heads.

Congratulations for being fortunate in getting Discord's blessing to be part of the world. Any open source project that puts its forums on Discord is immediately alienating and excluding a significant portion of their potential community base.

@@ffsireallydontcare i totally get that discord isn't everyones cup of tea, but it works well for development chat and the like.

@@LemaruX If you can get on it in the first place.

Yeah that was the place!
And then I do the same test using my NTSC 1200 with MKIII in and out and I don’t see anywhere near the same numbers. (yes i was running at a different screenmode) Which is why my scores are lower. What’s important is looking at the PiStorm with and without MKIII. There’s not much difference.

I use the Indivision Mk2 and can confirm, no issue with an Amiga Technologies NTSC Rev 1-D-4 MB with an AmigaKit sourced PiStorm32-Lite with Pi4b No modifications to the original hardware at all.
the most important chipmem speed to demos and games (C2P etc) is WriteL.
however 31KHz mode etc,. I think that steals chitton of chipmem access killling speedcheck..
my guess: as chipset is designed?
Let the scandouble double 15Khz to 31 and it will be fine. independent on scandoubler
any doubled modes rob it, tried it on the MK3 also, if its 15, shes good, 31=toilet. but they will get her fixed
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration think it will be hard to fix. as the chipset steals the cycles.. it is by chipset design
this is independent on cpucard. will not blame pistorm anyway
@@ChuckyGang welp crap. at least i know what it is and how to get around it.
Its like its picking up timings from the monitor and using that to set things at boot. Maybe an NTSC monitor is providing timings out of sync with the PAL crystal and its stalling out causing the lag waiting to sync up?
On the old wikipedia I found something called Coordinated Video Timings.
i tried it w both crystals and in the end the ntsc clocks fixed w the resolution 15khz modes
Can it be that it is the screen mode itself be far more demanding? I mean you could test double and check the values?
Chris, Are you saying if I just change the Crystal I can change my machine from NTSC to PAL?
yup
Is that also the reason why the Chip Speed vs A600 is so bad on a PiStorm under sysinfo? Thanks for sharing.
yup
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thank you for the answer, now im sold on that PiStorm. Do you know if they are able to fix this with a patch? Or is it fully hardware related?

What if plugging in the scanmagic does not change the access speed, but affects the timer (or calibration thereof), that is used by bustest, somehow?
Its something to do w the timing. All math and science
How current are the github repos for PiStorm, PiStorm32 and Emu68 compared to what's on Discord?
They are always up to date with the latest version of the emulator and stuff if thats what you mean.

@@Really........ i not fully sure but memory says and quickseach found similar looking one. with code u2410
Hello love you channel. A question is recap on A3000 and 4000 as bad as A600 A1200? Do i need to fix A3000 4000 same bad caps?
chris you do know about pal 60hz right?
PAL 50 is based on the cycles of the power grid over there at 50 cycles , NTSC where jesus lives was always 60. so no dont know about pal 60.
Wasn't Pal 60 a hack to allow playback of NTSC VHS and Laserdiscs in Pal countries on TVs with relaxed vertical timings?
@@ffsireallydontcare i am using it right now on my lcd tv 1920X1080 60p.
@@ffsireallydontcare back when vhs and dvd was a thing i played ntsc on my pal tv just fine with colors,it seems pal can go up but ntsc can't go down.
