I dont know if youve resolved your amiga monitor "problems" yet, but while browsing aminet I found this: http://aminet.net/package/game/patch/Frontier2AGA

Looks like you might be able to add frontier to the list of games you can play on a VGA monitor :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I've used bootcontrol before. It promotes most apps (even early startup) to dblntsc/pal or vga.

Yep a special Amiga AGA version was released back in the 90's, check it out in action right here -> Full Throttle AGA
 
Apparently they also released Curse of Monkey Island for Amiga back in the day -> Cursed

Off topic but.. any idea what I need to get these 2 games running? A special AGA version you say, was that commercially available? Sorry, this is a blank page in my Amiga history..

Found an app called "modepro" which lets deluxe paint and a few others work. Managed to get a few more games to work (EOB 1 and 2, Dune 2, Sim city, UFO, Civilization and Colonization)


I've love to hear how you got DPaint to mode promote.  It's never worked for many of us.  But perhaps that's because I've only ever tried RTG modes.  Is it actually fully functional?  What version of DPaint?

Nah, they were just pc versions running on scummvm. I dont understand why people have a tendancy to twist the truth like that (not novacoder himself, but the people who tried to palm software off as an amiga version).

Dpaint V can use just about any screen mode. Dpaint IV will look like it works with modepro but it'll crash
