TXG/MNX Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Hi, I am looking for some easy code how to use HIP in my program. I want to use the HIP mode in ANTIC SMALL screen mode and just half a screen. What do I need for HIP. DLI, VBI? And how does a display-list look? Can I fade a HIP picture out to the same color as the background color? TXG/MNX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 try my site: http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj/main.html there is my HIP-FAQ done 1996... check out as well our numen demo: http://numen.scene.pl for some HIP effects... and search the net for bmp2hip converters... so you can easily get pics... and of course... check as well TIP (colored hip - Taquart Interlace Picture or RIP)... you find docs & converters on the net as well... mostly and unfortunatly in polish... http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj/tip.html the color editor in JAVA was somewhere here in the programming forums...

TXG/MNX Posted January 5, 2003 Author Share Posted January 5, 2003 Hi, i know how to convert pictures done it. But how does a special HIP display list look like? .byte 112,112,112, ??????, 65 and when using dli's how do they look. There was a file hip.obj but that wasn't very clear to me. dli pha ??? pla rti is there a vbi being used? Can I use small screen 32 bytes with hip?

Heaven/TQA Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 it's all written in the docs... you have to use DLIs in combination with VBL... because you are interlacing... like your TV set... basic is that you interlace between a gr.9 & gr.10 or gr.11 screen... (depending on HIP or TIP) and these modes are just accessable via GTIA... so 1st VBL format line x (GTIA mode) display-list1 line0 (9) - dli line1 (10) line2 (9) - dli line3 (10) line4 (9) - dli ... line198(9) - dli line199(10) - dli display-list2 line0 (10) - dli line1 (9) line2 (10) - dli line3 (9) line4 (10) - dli ... line198(10) - dli line199(9) - i hope you see the difference... you have to interlace in y-direction. the VBL is switching between the 2 displaylists and sets the DLIs correctly... you need 2 screens, one for gr.9 and one for gr.10.... the DLI is needed because of switching the GTIA modes per scanline and setting correctly the color registers (as gr.10 has another "logic" as gr.9...) the displaylist is looking like f.e.: dlist1: $cf, screen9(0) $4f, screen10(1) $cf, screen9(2) ... $41 dlist1 (but unneccessary...) dlist2: $cf, screen10(0) $4f, screen9(1) $cf, screen10(2) ... $41 dlist2 VBL lda dlistv+1 (560) eor #3 sta dlistv+1 lda dliv+1 eor #1 sta dliv+1 jmp $e462 so best to put the 2 dlists to $3000 and $3300 as they will be longer than 256 bytes... (approx. 3 bytes per scanline a 200 lines...) as you are flexible with the atari hardware you can of course use 32 bytes per scanline as well... or 48 (like i have done in ultra2 preview demo...) but i guess that then you have to use or adapt existing converters as they mostly are based on 40 bytes per scanline... and for the DLIs the same... put them on $3400 and $3500... DLI1 pha lda #$40 ; GTIA mode 9 and 40 bytes per scanline sta wsync sta PRIOR lda #$80 ; GTIA mode 10 and 40 bytes per scanline (i am not sure here... can't remember...look into the docs...) sta wsync sta PRIOR pla rti and now vice verser DLI2 pha lda #$80 ; GTIA mode 10 and 40 bytes per scanline sta wsync sta PRIOR lda #$40 ; GTIA mode 9 and 40 bytes per scanline (i am not sure here... can't remember...look into the docs...) sta wsync sta PRIOR pla rti that's the basics... of course you have to set the colors right... depending on which HIP method you use...and this has to be integrated into VBL and DLI code as well... hve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted January 5, 2003 Author Share Posted January 5, 2003 Oke I will play around with it... THX... TXG/MNX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 : DLI2 pha lda #$80 ; GTIA mode 10 and 40 bytes per scanline sta wsync sta PRIOR lda #$40 ; GTIA mode 9 and 40 bytes per scanline (i am not sure here... can't remember...look into the docs...) sta wsync sta PRIOR pla rti ... hve This was my suggestion in the other thread. You putted two WSYNC in one DLI. Instead you can, with setting only one WSYNC, change other necessary registers, until the next scanline begins. How many CPU cycles were lost due to set more than one WSYNC in a DLI? Hope, my suggestion is better understood now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
