7.5.2 The Programs VHIGH, VLOW, SSCR, and HSCR

These programs are ineffective when a real EGA/VGA graphics card is used for

the MS-DOS video output.

Some programs synchronize their video memory accesses to the vertical

flyback of the video controller (VBL) in order to guarantee a flicker free picture.

In doing so. they expect a certain length of the VBL pulse. Since the video part

of Golden Gate is emulated on a software

base.

It is not possible to generate a

reproduction of the VBL true to nature. The standard setting is VLOW, i.e. a

short VBL pulse. If a program should simply "hang" after loading this effect

could have been produced by its waiting in an endless loop for a long VBL

pulse. In this case reset Golden Gate and then load VHIGH before this

particular program i� started anew. (A program where this might happen e.g.

is the editor'from the Norton utilities NE.COM). VLOW and VHIGH are not

resetproof. After a reset the video part is always in a state corresponding to

VLOW.

SSCR.EXE enables the softscroll function in the textmode (Default)

HSCR.EXE enables the hardscroll function in the textmode

With a softscroll the screen is really scrolled by the blitter. whereas the scroll

is done indirectly over the video update with the hardscroll.
