When ever I play AB 3D II on my 1200, it starts out like it's going to play full screen, but when the game begins, it goes into Window mode. How do I re-size this window?

Also why is it that all Amiga full screen games (not just AB3DII) never actually go full screen but only end up on a small section in the center of the screen leaving 1 to 2" boarders around it all and making it a bit off center and to the right?


Press the numeric keypad enter button to toggle fullscreen. The default is 2/3 screensize, which was to help speed things up a bit. AB3D 2 isn't the fastest 3D game ever.

Also, try tkgpatch (should be available on aminet). This adds a few patches to speed things up and includes stuff like improved C2P routines. One side effect of the latter is that the fullscreen display ends up horizontally off-center. The original display has a 16-pixel border left and right, but the improved C2P routines don't handle this case as they are written for speed and don't do any 16-bit chip ram writes (it would seem the border graphics were planar and thus aren't part of the regular C2P run).
