SimCity 2000. Has anyone ever had this working on a GFX card? (& a little TFX question too)

GPT: great answer.... works splendid....thanx alot!

Just hold down a shift key and start simcity2000 and it will ask you what screenmode it will use.

It works with my BVision card.

Hmm...that doesn't work for me. I have a BVision too but sc2k's map graphics are badly corrupted (intro screen and menus are ok). It still crashes badly too, patch or no patch.  :-(

Holding shift only give me NTSC & PAL to choose from.

Using ModePro & selecting ForcePlanar worked ok once but since then has been a little temperamental.

And right back to the my first post on this thread, I take it there are no patches or anything that play with TFX. I still think it could run a touch smoother on an 060.

Playing simcity 2k with an '060 is perfectly smooth, and
faster than the mac version.

@ gpt:

Doesn't CGX have some option for using a planar2chunky converter? With P96 you use ModePro. So if that is disabled SC2k won't work without AGA, what ever the software setup.

@ -D-:

Yoy sure your Mac emulation isn't slowed down by disabling some 68060 features? Fusion typically does this. And display issues are also important, refreshmodes being slowest.

Okay, maybe it's not necessarily 'faster' than the Mac
version , but at 66mhz/fblit/etc SC2kAGA runs very
fast, fast enough that I didn't notice any difference
between the two versions (Shapeshifter running with all
'060 caches/etc enabled)

Admittedly I haven't played SC2k in quite a while, let alone the
Mac version (I'm not a big pre - OSX fan) but it definately
ran fast for me...it would probably be real fast on a 75 or
80mhz blizz.

Cool, just tried ModePro's "Force Planar" option and it works on
my system too Picasso 96, Voodoo 3 3000, Mediator PCI
