CybergraphX vs P96
« on: November 23, 2004, 12:49:47 PM »
Hello Amigans. I am new to this board and I'm a returning Amigan after some 5 or so years. I have an A4000 with a Picasso IV card but I'm not as technical with an Amiga as I'd like to be. I have used up until now the P96 software which came with the card but a lot of software I've noticed requires CybergraphX. Also, I have purchased a CS PPC board from someone (it hasn't arrived yet) and I know that I will need CybergraphX in order to use it fully. I wish I'd researched beforehand as knowing my luck I have probably bought a DCE version (I didn't know they were so flaky until I stumbled upon this board). Anyway, onto the topic... I tried using the CybergraphX demo from the Aminet. I removed the P96 software beforehand and then installed CGX. The problem I had was that if a program used a native Amiga display via the PIV's internal scandoubler it would not display on the monitor. The only way native screens would be displayed was via the original Amiga video port. Which software is better to use and what are the differences between them? And is it possible to still use the PIV scandoubler under CGX?

Many thanks in advance!

Is P96 better then? I don't know the difference. How do I get P96 to emulate CGX? Sorry, I'm still a novice!
