Hello my name is Arne von Boehn ,
   
I'm 14 years old and I love Amiga!
I like Amiga and like coding in assembly
I have written a short Demo in ASMONE Assembly.
It shows a 1280x720 picture
   
here is the video.

Thanks. Since the image file is called wolf.yuv I suppose SAGA supports YUV color decoding natively ?

Yes SAGA support various formats, PLANAR, 8bit, 15bit, 16bit, 24bit, 32bit and also YUV.

    the pixelformat for the Chunky plane.

Cool video Arne. Your ASM course for V4 is awesome! I suggest you to paste the source code under your posts so people can easily have a reference without having to take screenshots of the videos.
Thumbs up!!

Interesting, but how do you do hardware scrolling/overscan in these new screenmodes, as the old Amiga hardware had no fixed resolutions, but rather specified with ddfstrt/ddfstop, and visible screen with diwstrt/diwstop? 160 x Y resolution in hardware was also possible under AGA, not sure if it is too useful.

@Gunnar,
So $010A is for Atari ST low res
    $0408 is for Atari ST high res

So there is a missing resolution for mid res for Atari ST right? (640x200) the Pixelformat being $09

Right?

Right?

Hmm good point.
We could add this mode

Hi Arne,
There's an error in your code.
you do :

1) move.w $DFF002,DMACON
2) or.w  D0,DMACON

The first line should have been :
move.w $DFF002,D0

Better late than never :)
