How does MAGICA work?
Magica works as diascope fully automatically according to variable presets:
- recognizes all files with the identifiers m. , g. C.
- works with all drives on the serial bus together
- the duration of the image display can be pre-selected (w = seconds)
- the order of the drives can be preselected (u = Drive, Drive, Drive, Drive) - max. 4 entries, numbers 8 to 11
- can run in continuous mode (l = 1, then have to be aborted by causing a floppy disk error - take out floppy disk)
- with STOP or ESC, the loading can be interrupted to switch to the next picture
- the settings are given at startup:
DLOAD "magic": w = 15: u = 9.8: l = 1

| | Description | As pioneer of the graphics conversion on Commodore 64, Godot has a long story in perfectioning his conversion tools more and more along the years. A remarkable milestone has been "ConGo" in 1998, a Windows based crossconverter accepting a vast range of different formats, to export the result straight as a Koala, Doodle, Amica Paint or OCP file. The natural step ahead has been the homonym "GoDot", a C64 native converter suite featuring the importing of the matching configuration for dozens of different file formats to be handled and processed by a single general tool.
The 8th of November in 2004, Godot added a Plus/4 support to his C64 tool, by running a module which handles Multi Botticelli, Botticelli and Page-Setter files. This only indicates the public release of it, because he had the chance to show his own skills in C64 to Plus/4 conversion years ago, since the X-Mas party held in Berlin in date 1992-12-01, held by Cream (see: Fancy Goods): during that time, he has won the Plus/4 graphics compo by showing 3 sides of converted pics. Later on, a selection of those pictures has eventually been included into Plus4Graphics, the bitmap gallery he released together with the Plus/4 featuring update of "GoDot, also called as "Plus/4 Support Disk".
The 6 disk sides converted pictures' collection usually known as Magica is a sum up of Plus4Graphics's bitmaps, few pictures further converted by Godot and addes as example files into the Plus/4 Support Disk suite, and several other extra ones probably converted by Erich of Unlimited. |
