How to restore text mode?

Post by GHo0ST » Thu Sep 29, 2022 6:28 pm

Hi Keith,

I'm working on a small something and have found your tutorials invaluable, thank you.

My question is, how do you restore text mode after going into graphics mode? I've tried using

move.w #%0000000011000000,$e82600
dc.w $ff00

and while this gets me back to DOS, the text looks like its still in 256x256 res, rather than the 'normal' text res. I guess I must be missing something obvious but not sure what...

I think it's 768x512 high res mode. As I'm sure you know, there is no such thing as a text mode - all graphics modes have a text layer.

The settings are on this page, but I think I made a mistake in the value for $E80028 before, which was causing the screen size to be wrong.
