Title: How to get rtg master work.
Post by: utri007 on April 04, 2009, 01:42:31 PM: Hi what is best way to get games work with rtg master?

Problem is that games don't found libraries, no matter where they are.

is v42.0 - I think it's what I've installed even when newer versions do exist - no bigger problems to run games thru it.

Is there somewhere in my workbench drive, some kind of general preference file for rtg master?

(Picasso96 seems to have a CGFX compatibility layer, though I've had a few minor probs with it, having just gone RTG in the last 2 weeks myself) Adoom, Descent, etc.. should be OK, and actually prefer RTG. If you're running older games VIA whdload or similar, theres really no chance of getting them on an RTG monitor, they'll just go over the AGA/ECS output. (Why I have 2 monitors hooked up until I can get a switch) If you're lucky, some games seem to deal with mode promotion utilities like newmode pretty well, most however will crash & burn. (I just try one, see if it works, and hit the 3-finger salute if not :D )

Post by: kvasir on April 05, 2009, 07:36:00 PM: The only exception I know of to that would be some GFX cards that have a built-in scandoubler and pass-trhough. My father had one on his A4000, think its a picasso. If you have an amiga w/o the correct (Zorro?) slot, you're SOL with that, too. Though I have been eying up some scandoublers designed for video game systems on Amazon and Ebay, these seem to have both VGA and S-Video adapters, which would be easily adapted to an RGB port, not sure if they auto-switch, though. I'll post a link if I can manage to find one again.

There are rtg master folder in prefs:env if your rtg master libraries work what you have there?

Yeaster day I removed all rtg master stuff from my system, after that I reinstalled it, only result was that Napalmn didn't work anymore.
