questions about aga and different amiga models?
« on: October 23, 2009, 03:12:19 AM »
I've been running a dedicated amiga emulation pc for awhile, with a catweasel pci. I have an old amiga 500 but I was thinking of getting a better classic machine.
 
Since amiga 2000's are alot more available than a4000 or a1200, I wondered if any of the graphics card upgrades allow the a2000 to display aga graphics, or are aga graphics only available on a1200 or a4000?

Sorry, been awhile and I don't recall. I thought I remembered a friend who had an a3000 getting some kind of upgrade card?
 
Thanks for your thoughts...
 
Steven

Thanks guys, I'm glad I asked. I have a chance to get a nice a2000 with a graphics card, hard drive, 3.1 roms but I think I'll hold out and wait for an a4000 or a1200. I have alot of aga games that I really like. I have a feeling I'd buy this 2000 and want to buy a 4000 or 1200 later anyhow.
 
This is another stupid question, but I never had an amiga with a graphics card. If you have an a1200 or a4000 with graphics card, what happens when you play an aga game, does it redirect the video to your graphics card, or do you need two monitors one for the graphics card and one for the original aga rgb out?
