Have Blizzard card, now what
« on: May 26, 2008, 04:56:06 AM »
I finally have a blizzard card, but still working on a Bvision for OS4.  Until then, what can I do with a PPC in 3.9?  Is there a faq with system software and anything else I need?

There are PPC files on the 3.9 cd you should install.
You should then look to at what you currently use and see if there is a PPC version.
Mpega and Warp datatypes for instance, if you use them.

You can also think about installing MorphOS and APUS.

MorphOS requires a gfx card to run properly*. Beside from that MorphOS on the Blizzard is always a pretty nice option.

*If you catch the MorphOS boot process before gfx drivers are loaded you can access AGA, too. At least this works to run some old AGA demos on MorphOS.

Good point, I had forgotten that.
