mr spot... umm well since its a demo it may not work on your system, its rather sad...but it wuld help if you stated what kind of system you have ... and what OS you have.

P96 has a few probs with diffrent cgx stuff but the most annoying thing is the 15bit modes that bvision and such use, as there is no such modes for vodoo and all the new'r gfx cards...

for the sound issues, well try to read the docs at times as many of em require SPECIAL modes only, also dont use v5 of ahi..use V4.. doesnt mean diddly squat if you have a ppc or not as there is no AHI ppc for classic, atleast not how its supposed to be..

also it would help to take 1 by 1 demo/product to make it clear what kinda problems you have.

oh and yeah... alot of the new'r ppc products uses ENV alot, so you should be pretty sure that there is no files in there which may do some weird things..ie duplicate files...and u press save and it doesnt save etc (known VA prob)

oh and yes, check how much MEMORY you have free on your RTG card, as most products needs ATLEAST 6 megs to run properly, some needs 8 to work at all, and there is a few which needs 12+ megs .

hope this helps...and next time u ppost.... tell us abit more about everything as i cant help in anyway with what you have said allready....lol :)

cheers

spot: And last, a VERY good feat to the PPC demo page would be some info on some cranky prods, how to get them to run and such...
As I have experienced some PPC demos are bastards to run!

as i have little time now i will answer this only.....

Yes the site is supposed to have a entry for how to run the prods, and general tips ..but this i need more help for...as i have only P96.

anyway i have covered that info allready.

another thing:

some demos doesnt like pup emu, but its like 2 or 3 max out of all 60+ prods  i have here.

another one,..:

it seems its impossible to list RTG mem on cgx...LOL! , what a horrible api that is.... haha
on p96 we have atleast 5 ways of listing it..., one of em is via TINYMETER  :)
(i have asked around for info on this and it seems impossible to find a mem meter for cgx)

cheers

i have such a script but it wouldntbhelp u in anyway ;( , but what u can do is make a simmilar to mine where u mount everything needed + a remote ENV: dir...ie make a double env system.. so u dont copy un nessesary files to ram, also kcon is wise to get over to your boot script + rtg + ppc + setpatch + sound and ofcourse ppc boosters and pup emu.

if you have 060 u should use latest setpatch + speedychip + oxypatcher and such aswell.

u better refer to an bppc user about this...as i dont have a bvision and i certanly dont use CGX.

cheers..

pps:keep them demos comming..website up very shortly... (just waiting for your last contributions)
