Introduction:
ญญญญญญญญญญญญญ

 I wrote this program because some other 60Hz emulators like PowerUtititly
 from Amicon and BootPal/BootNTSC from Nico Francois had some limitations.
 The program is written in assembler and uses 99% system functions to emulate
 the 60Hz. Almost any utility and some games now run in a NTSC screen.
 If you have a FATTER agnus then almost any game will run in NTSC. Since 60Hz
 will then use the hardware to emulate NTSC.
 Have fun with it !
 

How to use it:
ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ

 Usage: 60Hz [OPT] <OPTIONS>

 Where options stand for:

    ?   - Help.
    i   - Will install the emulator and activates NTSC mode immediately.
    I   - Will install the emulator, but will stay in PAL mode.
    K/k - Will kill the emulator, if found in memory.

    R/r - Add this to prevent the emulator to install itself resident in
          memory. So, the emulator will be gone after a reset.
    A/a - Add this and 60Hz will ignore a FATTER agnus, so you will always
          have a software emulation.


 If the installation was succesfull, you can press the following keys:

 Press : <LEFT-ALT>+<LEFT-SHIFT>+<CTRL> together with:

  ESC - To kill the emulator
    0 - Toggle between PAL and NTSC
    9 - Toggle between Software and Hardware emulation

    1 - Toggle color bar !!                  \
    2 - To set all values to default         |
    3 - Add ฑ one line to timer buffer       | Don't use these unless you
    4 - Sub ฑ one line to timer buffer       | know what you're doing !!
    5 - Add one line to display rows         | (You cannot use these if
    6 - Sub one line from display rows       |  the BIG FAT-Agnus is used !)
    7 - Add one line to end of screen        |
    8 - Sub one line from end of screen      /

 (PS: Doesn't work with the KeyPad !)


  Executing 60Hz again with new options, will modify the previous installed
  emulator.


Error messages:
ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ

 You can get a few (error) messages:

 60Hz emulator installed !
  -> The emulator was installed correctly

 BIG FAT-Agnus found !
  -> The emulator found a BIG FAT-Agnus. The emulator will now use the 
     hardware to switch between PAL and NTSC. (use 'OPT A' to overide this)

 Emulator will be gone after reset !
  -> You selected 'OPT R', so the emulator will not be resident in memory.

 60Hz emulator flags updated !
  -> The emulator installed the new mode, specified in the options

 Unable to update 60Hz flags
  -> For some reason, the flags couldn't be updated.

 Installation failed !
  -> Installation of the emulator failed because it couldn't open
     the ciab.resource or allocate the timer
  PS: You'll get an ALERT if the emulator couldn't open the resource
     or allocate the timer.


Important notes:
ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ

 NOTE 1: If the screen flashes sometime, try pressing LA+LS+C+3 a few times.

 NOTE 2: Your monitor (TV) may have some trouble synchronizing on the 60Hz
         signal, so don't worry if the screen flashes for a moment.

 NOTE 3: If you have your power-supply standing near your monitor, the screen
         may become unstable in 60Hz. Putting your power-supply further away
         from the monitor should solve the problem.

 NOTE 4: If you have a BIG FAT-Agnus and Power PC-Board, you must use OPT A.
         Because switching the Agnus to 60Hz (in general) will cause the
         RAMDISK of the PC board to crash.


Update report:

V1.05 Update:
=============

 Added some new features, and removed the undocumented one (bugs)
 Killed the keyboard bug, this bug caused the keyboard to go crazy
 New features: - full control from cli over already installed emulator
               - you can noew switch between hardware and software emulation
                 after installation.


                                                     've fun,


                        ปปป NTSC for ALL ซซซ



 PS: Don't forget to send me that dollar (or a VERIFIED quality disk).
