20240213_e630d36f Release
This is a stable release and is also available on Hoglet's github
Format or wipe the SD card before upgrading, do not overwrite as that can result in profile and palette errors.
It consolidates all the recent work from Beta59 to Beta64 (inclusive) summarised below:
Major new features:
Create Custom Profile menu
This makes it much easier to create profiles for unsupported systems
There is built in help in the info menu and also in the menu itself
(This will eventually be expanded upon in the wiki)
Auto detect if the monitor supports HDMI protocols or DVI protocols and switch automatically.
This was previously a manual only setting in the main menu which defaulted to DVI for all monitors
This usually worked but would produce wrong colours on some capture devices and 4K monitors
Also if a HDMI audio embedder was used, that would normally only work in HDMI mode.
The auto detection can be disabled and a manual selection made in the settings menu
Please report any issues such as blank screens if your monitor worked with previous versions.
Add 4K @ 50/60Hz support for Pi 4 only.
This will be auto detected if a Pi 4 is plugged into a 4K monitor
Other Pi models only support 4K @25/30Hz so they will default to 1080p @50/60Hz when plugged into a 4K monitor but you can still manually select the 4K @25/30Hz resolution.
Other changes:
Add PAL artifact (colour blending) on Commodore 64 & 128 (use long press of SW2 to toggle)
Add frame drop mode for 25/30Hz motion.
Add some new genlock options
Add quickstart help menu and rename info menu to info & help
Add Microtan 65 profile
Add Samsumg 400 line CGA card profile
Add Apple IIe Taxan RGB profile
Add Mac Plus profile
Add Mac Radius portrait screen profile
Add Ti presenter profiles (NTSC only).
Add Mac SE profile
Add Spectrum 48K VLA82 profile
Add Triumph Adler PC8 profile
Improve support for Commodore 128 80 column (CGA type) mode with profiles for VDCmania demos
Add experimental support for Amiga ECS screen modes 1280x256 & 640x480 productivity (CPLD boards only)
Note the 640x256 and 1280x256 cannot be auto selected and must be toggled with SW3
Add various profiles using the lumacode protocol:
Commodore 64
Commodore 128 (40 column mode)
Commodore VIC20
Atari 800
Atari 5200
Atari 2600

Fix some scaling bugs
Fix profile autoswitch not working with 4K monitors
Fix some issues with sync detection and measurement
Fix Apple II+ internal pickup not auto switching NTSC artifacts
