The settlers
« on: November 14, 2003, 09:08:27 PM »
Is there no way at all that i can get settlers to run on my voodoo without the need for a scandoubler?
Thanks

Fraid not,

It's one of those older games that uses the custom chipset. Your only option on an Amiga is to run it through UAE.

You can get UAE for the amiga too... thought the classic Amiga's dont really have the CPU grunt to emulate the chipsets.... even a PPC machine with struggle a little to keep timeings. Pity there isnt a special UAE that doesnt emulate things, just actually uses the chipsets inside the amiga and runs the games on a window... that would rock..

I suppose you could connect a tv if you can get a 520 modulator or a rgb>scart cable, and view it without using the voodoo

There is a version of UAE for the Amiga.  I've never used it, though I'd imagine you'd need a very fast processor (PPC?) to run it well.

i managed to get Toki to run on amiga UAE PPC. trouble was i seem to remember that it wanted the powerup library, not the warpup library to run. easy enuff to do, move a couple of librarys around, reboot, run UAE for a about ten twenty minutes, feel nostalgic, UAE crash with powerpc exception, move the librarys back, reboot carry on doing other warpup stuff. :-)

:lol: If you didn't Emulate the chipset, then the graphics output would go via the Chipset and the Amiga's video out... so you wouldn't be able to have it in a window!!!! :lol:

Probably.

Get a cheap TV card, put it in a PCI slot.

Connect the AGA output to the TV card in ( composite will do fine )

Install TV software.

Set NOCHAIN=1 on Picasso96.

Start game.

Voila, settlers in a window. If its pure AGA ( not system friendly ) you might not be able to maintain the workbench, check first to see if it can be launched from workbench ( before you buy any TV cards or whatnot ).

Theres no flicker in the TV window.
