Can some one explain to what happens when RTG is used in UAE?
I assume it is bypassing the chipset. How does this affect the speed and can it talk to hardware directly? Does it still go through the Host OS?
Thanks.
As far as I know, the RTG mode simply provides a software "chip" driver for Picasso96 that uses the underlying host OS to do the blitter accelerated stuff. The host OS in turn may use hardware acceleration for said operations.
The native chipset stuff is still emulated too but I imagine there's plenty of shortcut optimisations that can be made when said chipset isn't displaying anything.
