OctaMED screen "jumpy" with RTG. This cant be right??
« on: June 17, 2011, 12:32:20 AM »
Hi again,

I recently installed a Picasso II in my A4000 and it seems to be working fine with an old CRT monitor.

However, in OctaMED Soundstudio, the tracker window moves along very jerky when playing MOD files.

Before I installed the Picasso, the screen scrolled very smoothly on my old 1084s.

Initially, I thought i had selected too high a resolution for the Picasso, but even after reducing the resolution to 800x600 and 8 colours, the problem is still exactly the same.

Hopefully someone can help me out as I don't see how it is possible for AGA to scroll smoother than a Picasso II.

Thanks folks!!

AGA = Amiga
Picasso2 = PC gfx card


And?

I'll tell ya again man :) Octamed is meant to play ON PAULA on a REAL AMIGA. its programmed that way. There is so much sync and timing involved with this application.  Thats why octamed sux in emu.


But I am using a real Amiga and a real Amiga GFX card.

I thought GFX cards were meant to speed things up / make things better generally.

If this doesn't work I'm truly gutted as the only thing I use the Amiga for is OctaMED, and the only reason I got the GFX card was for OctaMED.

It's not looking good  :(

I got it working by messing about with p96 and PVS using trial and error.

What an unintuitive system that is, but at least I have a OctaMED screen in slightly higher resolution than normal with no flicker.  Just hope i dont damage my monitor with the bizarre settings im using.

I know nothing.
