Title: How to enable RTG on WB3.1?
Post by: amyren on November 05, 2024, 07:19:51 PM

Is there a way to make use of RTG under Workbenh 3.1 on the A600GS?
I installed Picasso96 with the uaegfx drivers, but I guess other drivers are needed.

I did this on my A1200 with a PiStorm which required several tweaks to get booting but then only seems to work with a two monitor setup.   Frankly, I’m not sure how well this would work on the GS or why you’d need it??

For PiStorm there are several tutorials available on how to set up RTG, and the needed videocore drivers are available.
I have an A1200 with pistorm as well, but this is a different thing as the A1200 PiStorm will use the native video port for PAL/NTSC output and the Pi HDMI port for RTG. The team is working on a solution on how to get native video redirected to the HDMI.

On the A600GS both native and RTG will go out on the same HDMI output.
Why RTG? To get Workbench and apps to run on higher resolution and more colours, or run RTG games.

AFAIK the RTG Option is only active in the A600GS-AGA Config, you cannot "activate" it in any of the other configs ...

I guess it is depending on the Amiberry settings for the A1200/A4000 profiles then, if rtg emulation is enabled or not.
