Cool, congrats on your upgrade.

Now go and grab some of my 060 ports off AmiNet to play with, top of my list would be ScummVM AGA 060 and BOOM AGA 060 using the 'Back to Saturn' total conversion.

BOOM baby BOOM

DosBox AGA development continues, Matt is making progress with the dynamic 68k core.   I'm not really doing anything on the project at the moment because I'm waiting for the core (it will be too slow to use without it).

I'm also a little bit busy with Quake 2 AGA development :)

That's true, without the right setup you won't be getting full speed out of your 060.

Sorry, not sure what link he means?

Best talk to Lurch about setup, he's just brought an 060 himself ;)

Guys, download this SpeedModule if you want to compare your 80Mhz Apollo setups with mine -> AmiNet

Less speed (apart from the HD) means you're probably not running the right patches.

The archive have only .dat file on it. There is no Amiga executable file at all. How do you execute it?


You need do download SysSpeed from Aminet of course, my file is only the data file module (basically a recording of how my card ran).

You can grab SysSpeed from AmiNet

dropbox and rest of your releases are only playable with 80mhz or people with 040/40mhz, 060/50mhz can run it at aceptable speed?

Hiya,

I generally only code for hardware that I can physically test it on myself.

I used to have an 030 so wrote a few ports that targeted 030 but now that I've upgraded to an 060 I'm only going to do 060 ports.

The Indy Mrk2 does have it's problems (which hopefully will be fixed before we all die of old age) but it can produce a fantastic output, it basically looks like an RTG card.

Watch this little video in HD and you'll see what I'm Nice display

The main issue I have with my Mrk2 is lack of 50Hz support.

You can if you want but I don't think you really need to for cooling (I've never bothered), it also looks ugly when you raise the case.   Just check to make sure the FAN/RAM isn't hitting the desk.

Do not install the trap door cover, instead you should use a drop of hot-glue to keep your card stable in the case.

Personally, I'd recommend ClassicWB

It's probably the best one for real hardware.
