Copper effects (and sprites) are video "tricks" that only exist in the video chip (Lisa in your case) they aren't really part of the display bitmap.

I did try to run a VERY old version of PPC UAE on my PowerUp board many years ago... You could make a cup of tea between each frame :(


I tried that myself a few weeks back, kinda weird having an emulated Amiga running on an A1200 in super slow motion... :)

I have already considered this and solved it. We can use Perpetual motion and adopt it for use on classic Amigas. We will setup a loop in that the last Amiga being emulated will use the Ram from the first Amiga resulting in infinite emulation.

Oh no we missed it :(


No we didn't... :confused:

Im posting right now from a parallel universe that I got sucked into on that date... :)

It's pretty dark in here but at least the Amiga is the only computer in this world and has been continually developed for a zillion years in this universe and is now an implant in everybods brain who lives here... :)

Only trouble is they never sorted out the flicker in interlace mode so it does make your eyes go a bit funny when you switch them to Hi-Res mode... :)

Oh look there's Dr Who just popped in for tea & scones, or is it Darrin in his home built Tardis, gotta go now the Cyebrmen are knocking on me door, think I'd better let them in cos their trying to escape from the Jehovahs Witnesses who're coming up the garden path behind them... :eek:
