AROS68K:Does it have RTG support?
« on: September 02, 2012, 01:06:28 AM »
I was wondering, can (or will) AROS68K be able to use an RTG graphics card like a Voodoo3?

That is a great tease.
 
You wouldn't want to tell me what's generating those great high res images would you?
 
BTW - Its nice to have some hackers around here.
 
There's only so much you can do with 'real' Amiga hardware.

My guess is that eventually this will be introduced.

I get daily e-mail updates about that and Staf Verhaegen is a friend of mine so I've got a lot of faith in this endeavor (remember, I'm a MorphOS user, so I know thw AOS 3.1 API can be re-implented to create powerful new OS')
