It onlyuses the VDC-registers and no special software tricks. It involveda lot of trial and error to get the register setting justright so that both bitmaps and attribute-areas would align inmemory as well as on screen. It's probably interesting to knowthat two 640x240 pictures with 8x2 colour blocks are interlaced.This means the colour blocks themselves are also interlacedwhich can lead to some nice mixed colours.Tokra, signing off, June, 12th 2011...Contact: tokra@tokra.dehttp://noname.c64.org/csdb/getinternalfile.php/97932/vdcihfli.zipCOMMODORE FREESadly I couldn’t get this to display on my setupThe .d64-files are bootable. Just copy to a real disk or mount inyour favourite SD-device and type "BOOT". This will start theviewer.Also included is a converter for the PC (ivdc_quant.exe) createdby Mike. It's a command line tool that expect a file called"input.ppm" in Portable Pixmap format with a resolution of640x480. Make sure to save with binary encoding. The converterwill produce a "result.ppm"-file to check the file on the PCand two more files that can be loaded on the C128. Use "vdcihfli-view"to display these.Page 5
