D-Tail, you can of course take your ST to the MRC booth. Plenty of space over there
Indeed. I have many EVA-files up and running on my MSX config. It's pretty spectacular, viewing a converted AVI-movie on your MSX in a reasonable resolution and sync sound!
the sound is replayed through PSG (12 bit PCM, mono) ?
Just wondering: what video modes does that EVA player use (on both V9938 and V9990)?
Screen 8, Screen 12 and -unknown- afaik
Sound is put through the Y8950 (MSX Audio), COVOX or Turbo R PCM. AFAIK it's 15.75 kHz mono sound. Framerate can be 10 or 12FPS (depends on conversion mode (see the -FPS12 )). Resolution is 128x106 (exactly 1/4 of a normal screen mode). If you want to keep aspect ratio, you might as well want to convert to 128x96. A picture of the COVOX is here:
I took it from some internet site, but I cannot recall which :P
If the author of this graph reads this thread, please be so kind to put your name in this thread :)
Furthermore, I've never actually managed to get the V9990 version working in my config, alas. It seems that program has problems reading from CD-ROM, while the V9958 hasn't...?
Oh, and Aurora, V9938 cannot be used, unless you want to have a totally wrecked view on the video .
snout, thanks for the space offer on Bussum 2K4 I really appreciate it
. So, legacy, you'll have your EVA show nonetheless...
Now for burning some CDs with EVA movies on them.
COVOX is also known in the MSX scene (due to MCM) as SIMPL.
I actually have a MCWF SIMPL interface, which I think I used euuhh, once...
Back to main topic
Ok, now I have to find avi to eva converter which runs on PC of course. But, then, how can I put the produced huge EVA file to my MSX's hard disk? Shall I install it on PC? and what will happen to the partitions in it?
Thanks
