Adoom recommended specs

No but to be honest the Indivisions chunky mode is a bit slow, I think ECS's HB mode will be faster

HB?  
Is that something special the Indivision does or are we just talking Extra Half Bright?

Shouldn't Graffiti mode be faster?
(Not sure, haven't tried, but that's what I thought it was designed for..)

In the readme for ADoom, it mentions Indivision GFX mode, which I'm thinking would be Graffiti???

No it's not Graffiti, it's another chunky mode (also used for the ECS RTG driver)
Like I said it is a bit slow, ECS Graffiti is even slower
AGA Graffiti is the fast one

Interesting..
So, that does bring up a side question..
Was the whole "we don't have chunky so we can't compete" just overdone??
It sounds like chunky isn't all that big a deal after all...

I don't expect Graffiti to add much speed to my 320x200 AGA ports (which currently use C2P) but I hope that Jens will include a chunky 640x480 mode to the Indy AGA Mrk2 which will finally allow me to bring games like Broken Sword to AGA

Well, Indivision AGA will support Graffiti and it has:
Screen Modes:

• 640x256
• 320x256
• 160x256
• 80x256
• (Interlacing supported in all modes)

As I understand it, he can't add any other chunky modes, as that would require access into Alice (I think it's Alice???), which it doesn't have.
The indivision ECS is in much deeper than the Indivision AGA, which is more a post processor.

So, I think Graffiti is the chunky support we will have..

Apparently, at least for Mac emulation, it allows significant performance improvements.
(30x faster is quoted)
