Still no good with my shapeshifter slow display problem.

I have tried the Picasso96 external driver, the Cybergraphx/Picasso96 internal Shapeshifter setup and the CardTrickEVD driver with direct mode, but i still can't have a faster display than mere AGA.
I'm using 800*600 8 bits mode.
I have not checked the "larger memory block" in the RAM setup to ensure that there is FastRAM available for the video (and there is indeed plenty).

Benchmarks show that my display is only about 0.110 the speed of an equivalent real Mac.

Am i still missing something?


What's the refresh interval set to? Put it to zero or 1.

I have just done everything that LaserBack said at 640*480 reslution and with Speedometer 4.02 i still have 8 bits graphic results equal to 0.174 Quadra 605 with CardTrickEVD and only 0.125 with Picasso96 driver.
It's a bit better than my previous results in 800*600.


Maybe your system is using motherboard ram (very slow) and that is slowing it down?
