RTG on AGA.

[xeron]

If you have a PowerPC, there is a CGX AGA driver for it, but to be honest theres little point.

If a program actually requires a graphics card, the chances are it'll want at least highcolour graphics, and unless the CGX driver has a HAM8 mode, the program still won't work (no modes to show in the screenmode requester).

Even if it DID have a HAM8 mode, it would be so slow as to make the program unusable.

Hmm... but are there any programs that use 8bit output, yet absolutely require the presence of an RTG system?!

Surely any sane programmer writing an OS friendly program that requires 8 bit chunky would offer a mode that uses graphics.library, so users of BlazeWCP can use the program too!?

Heh well, ok, but i don't see the point of limiting your audience, when the potential userbase is already tiny. Especially when WriteChunkyPixels() support requires not much more than:

[color=006600]
void writechunky( x, y etc. etc. )
{
  switch( mode )
  {
    case GMODE_CGX:
      WritePixelArray( x, y etc. etc. )
      break;
    default:
      WriteChunkyPixels( x, y etc. etc. )
  }
}

Yes, well i guess you didn't read my original post properly then... i said software which requires 8 bit chunky graphics!  :-P
