Why can t I activate NTSC in chipset anymore ?

[kenshigros]

Hi again
Since the latest 2 versions included betas I can t activate NTSC in the chipset menu it does not save.
I used to use that to center the pal screen to not having the big border at the bottom and gain a bit of speed in some game now does not work anymore.
Is it just me ?

Thank you

Alex

Do you mean if you set NTSC checkbox, save config, then load the config: checkbox is unchecked?
Maybe you have quickstart mode enabled? It will overwrite chipset settings.
Or maybe NTSC is really enabled but program(s) you run switch back to PAL because they want PAL and you have ECS/AGA configured which supports on the fly PAL/NTSC switching?
Or maybe you have FPS. adj enabled in display panel? It forces selected FPS value and and PAL/NTSC setting won't affect it.

You can use KS 3.0+ early boot menu to quickly check if on the fly PAL/NTSC switch is working. Boot with both mouse buttons pressed and press SPACE to toggle PAL/NTSC. (This requires ECS or AGA). If you have on screen leds enabled (misc panel) or run in windowed mode: check if FPS value is ~50 (PAL) or ~60 (NTSC).

Let me try to explain Two versions ago when you were playing a game if you checked the ntsc in the chipset your screen (pal) will centered and your game will run faster of course (30fps) but now when I checked the ntsc and click ok nothing happens and then come back again in chipset menu the box is still unactived like the config can t save as a window administrator problem but my computer is fine Should I try to move the main directory to other than C: (system) in case it works?

Yes, paths outside of user's home directory in C: drive are generally write-protected without admin privileges. (For example don't select Paths panel EXE path if winuae.exe is inside Program Files, it won't work very well)

WinUAE directory (or even winuae.exe only) can be copied anywhere you want, it does not need to be installed and does not need any external 3rd party DLLs.

Yes Thank you but does not explain me why it used to work and not anymore..... What matters it works anyway so....If I am the only one to repport it seems I got a problem with Windows Thanks a lot for answering Regards, Alex

No idea. Try checking if previously known working version still works. If it does not, something must have changed outside of WinUAE.
