2072.0. "RGB DEMO is PAL (aaarrrggg!!!)" by SPIDER::LONG () Tue Jan 03 1989 22:37

I just spent a few nights downloading the RGB demo only to later read that
it only works on a PAL system.  I seem to remember someone mentioning a
utility that would allow me to perform some magic that would let me see this 
without a garbled screen.  Anybody know what it it called so I can hunt in one
of the PD directories?

	Thanks,
		Dick

	In case a PAL system is required to do the conversion ( you never know...) I volounteer ( if you give me the directions ) ! marco
2072.2	Mine wasn't PAL...	LOWLIF::DAVIS	That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!	`Wed Jan 04 1989 09:47`	8
	I'm confused. Are we talking about the RBG demo that was done with the Director? I got mine to work on my 2000 if I did a reboot and Ctrl/D to stop the startup-sequence, and then ran it. (It liked lots of RAM) I got mine from a Fish disk that is online on TAPE::. I think the file name was HAGEND.ARC. Is that what you are wanting?? ...richard

	The RGB demo under discussion here is not the one you are talking about. This is a new demo done by some guys in Italy, supposedly very impressive but I don't think we'll ever find out except via secondhand reports.
2072.4	It works...	TEMPE1::MACKELPRANG	Who R U	`Wed Jan 04 1989 09:52`	10
	I got RGB to work on my 3 MB A2000, but only after I ran a utility called PALORNTSC.ARC (or something like that) from the WJG:: directory. It looks really nice, but I don't know if it was worth all the trouble to get it working. I still was unable to get the MOIBIUS (sp) demo to work, however. Mark.
2072.5	that's what I was looking for!	MANTIS::LONG		`Wed Jan 04 1989 12:14`	10
	I'll try the SETPALORNTSC.ZOO on the RGB demo. If you got MOBIUS off usenet, don't waste your time downloading. There are reports on usenet that it is corrupted. As a side topic on huge PD files, why don't people mention upfront what the system requirements are so we can decide if it's worth downloading? I wasted a lot of time with MATLAB to be told I needed a coprocessor board or it would crash. Dick
