Picasso96 or Cybergraphx?
« on: May 13, 2008, 02:17:39 PM »
Can the two coexist?

Is there a way to uninstall one of them, cybergraphx for example?

My purpose is to try both the systems (picasso96 and cybergraphx) and see which is the best.

nope you can't.

Create 2 boot partition, one with CGX and the other with P96.

Then you can compare it! :-)

depends on the rtg card in question... I personally prefer CGX4 , but in cases like busboards or the picassoIV you don't really have a choise...

is there a reason for my fast ram size decrease a lot when I select a cybervision screen mode (under P96)?

And is there a way to avoid this?

Thank you


P.S. I don't remember very well but it seems that with cybergraphx this didn't happen.

I've tried P96 yesterday and it was really a straight forward way to change screen resolution and find hardware limitations in a snap.

May you tell me why do you think CGX4 is better?

And by the way, may you tell me a link where I can download CGX4?

Thank you very much in advance

Mauro

cgx4 is still sold in places like amigakit.com , and is really really better than p96. I have both (p96 on picassoIV and cgx4 on g-rex4000D / cv64 / piccoloSD64)
CGX4 is always preffered by me, because of it's easy setting progs, and it's memory management... you might call it a personall taste, but for me cgx4 is way better.

Ok, so it's most of all a personal taste matter, isn't it?

Anyway, I'll try CGX4 too, just to have a better idea of what are the posibilities  :-)
