As I and others waiting for Gold 3 with DIGITAL-VIDEO support, I am successfully using the Ratte Monitor Switch and SwitchControl Command in Start-Up Sequence to route the RTG signal via the VGA output. By this the Monitor Screen automatically switches right away (less 1 sec.) to the Pal Screen Mode of Games/Application such as SysInfo. However, with Shapeshifter it does not work. Mac Emu 8.1 is coming to a black screen (only) shortly before desktop is fully loading. And yes it is loading completely. With OS7.X it is no problem at all. What can that be? Does anyone of you uses the Ratte Monitor switch? Thanks in advance.Btw. This is with Coffin 54 and 56 Version.
