Here is an initial version of a TV-out configuration tool.
This application is intended for use on (the currently unreleased) Zaxxon Hotfix 6. I'm not packaging it as a PND yet as it most likely won't work on other versions.
Currently I have neither a TV-out cable nor an installation of Hotfix 6, so I have to rely on you guys to do some testing for me. The op_tvout.sh script by notaz takes care of the actual configuration and my own tests indicate proper invocation of said script (though I can't properly test the entire script myself).
Preview:
Fine grained control of the position and size is provided by the spin-buttons. For more coarse grained control you can drag the four edges of the sub-window in the overscan pane (they might be a bit tricky to hit using the touchscreen).
Installation and startup instructions:
[*]Extract to your SD card.
[*]Start TVoutConfig.py.
[*]Test and try to break the tool.
[*]Report back with your results.
Thanks in advance. Suggestions and comments are most welcome.
ED, if it functions properly and you would like to add it to the firmware then feel free to do so.
