Amiga games and graphics cards
« on: September 19, 2008, 04:14:01 PM »
Hello
I have a question regarding games (old and new) that were not developed with graphics cards in mind. Are patches available that can make a game, for example Alien Breed 3D II, use the power in a graphics card so you can use it full screen...I have looked at WHDLoad and the LHA file for that game makes no mention of graphics cards.
By graphics card I mean Cybervision 64, in an A4000.

Thanks

I have another question. If I was to use WHDLoad to load up games, would the graphics be displayed via the graphics card, albeit at a reduced resolution ,if I was using a graphics card for Workbench, or would the game switch to the RGB port bypassing the graphics card?

Thank you again peeps. I can confirm that I will be using a Cybervision 64 so will either look around for a RGB to VGA adapter (they are around) or wait for a 4000 version of the new Scan doubler/Flicker fixer.

Yea sorry for confusion ! Originally I was looking for a way to get games to use the CV64 as a primary display without a need to use a scandoubler. But realize probably the best way is to get one. So will wait with anticipation for the Indivision flicker fixer for the 4000. Then I will be home and dry (?)
