Which is the best '030 accelerator for A1200

[Thorham]

No matter what you put into your A1200 (as far as 030), it is going to be painfully slow e.g. loading 640x480 picture in 256 colors take soooooooooome time.

:laughing:

JPEG's aren't going to load fast on an 030, true.

Of course not, but why use a relatively heavy format like that? I use BMP for true color images on my Amiga. Much faster.

[Thorham]

No, really. I got .iff pictures converted to 800x600 in 256 color. I'm using it with Radeon running WB in 800x600 16bit. It is SLOW (maybe it is fast for 030 ). I will try .bmp.

The problem is probably that you're using iff files, which are planar, with your graphics card, which is chunky. The software you're using is probably really slow at doing planar to chunky conversion (try different viewer programs to see the difference, potentially). Indeed try something that doesn't need to be converted like bmp.

[Thorham]

Odd. Bmp files should be really easy to display on a gfx card, so it shouldn't be slow at all, not even on a 68030. 68030s can even render to HAM8 in good quality pretty fast with the right software.

There's probably a solution for this.
