Shapeshifter vs. Basilisk II

[matthey]

Basilisk II is by the same author as ShapeShifter. It was meant to be cross platform where ShapeShifter was Amiga only. The 68k version never worked very well and has plenty of bugs with few useful feature additions. It doesn't even fully work on my Amiga. Fusion is good and has some nice features but a few minor bugs too. ShapeShifter has the least bugs and most support. It's more polished than the other choices. Save yourself some time and take Cammy's advice.

I have a Radeon 9250+Mediator in my A4000D and I haven't been able to get shapeshifter to use it without crashing.  I downloaded the CardTrickEVD and set it up to run in 1024x768 and it always gave me an out of memory error.

I haven't tried CardTrickEVD. I use MuEVD which requires a Mu library setup but works great. ThoR is a very good programmer.

It's odd, it has a memory option for ANY, Chip ram or 24Bit DMA Ram (I'm guessing that should be using the Radeon's memory) but that makes it lock up right when I click start.

No! Don't do that! This has nothing to do with gfx memory! Leave it on "Any" for the memory settings. This will allow you to use fast memory which is both MUCH faster and there is probably MUCH more of it.
