Cybervision64

Any of you guys now a good pic-viewer? Viewtek and fastview only gives messy gfx, and multiview is to slow..I want a program I can force into only using GFXcard modes, and which is ideal for browsing through loads of pictures. (Just like good ol' fastview...)

I haven't upgraded any of the chips in my A3k.
(all standard A3000 chips). When I first installed
my CV64 card I had a A3640 card, thats all and I found
it much faster with either CV64 drivers or Picasso96
drivers. They seemed about the same.

Hi all

i've used P96 with CV64 (4MB model) for a life and it is the best choise for this card IMHO.

Now i've switched to CGX4.3 due an upgrade to the CVPPC (not installed yet) and in some operation, CGX "seems" faster but less "system friendly".

For the viewer, i use CyberWindow, Cyberview and even MysicView for 68K and ShowPPC or ppc datatypes for PPC.

All the above with Both RTG system.

Only CyberAnim, works a lot better if used with CGX.

Ciao

As framiga said, mysticview as a viewer. It's excellent.

From my personal experience with my cv64 card, cgx is the best choice regarding speed. I'm running P96 now, though, after having tried to make cgx work properly for about a day last time I reinstalled.
Whatever P96-lovers tell you, once you've had your superlayers, being without them just feels...empty (oh, and slow .

Sincerely,

Hi elendil

it is a little bit difficult for me, to give an "absolute" feedback about the 2 RTGs systems because, i've just upgraded from a 040 to a PPC+060.

When (for a life) i had the 040, P96 was the best choise for the CV64 (CGX was terrible slow with MagicMenu and WB background fill).

Now with the 060, all seems better with CGX 4.3 but, as already said, is even a taste issue.

Ciao

BTW- anyway i HATE the sloooow WB fill BKG pattern of CGX

I hope with CVPPC will be better :-)

Like I said I've been sticking with 16 colour backdrops ;-)

BTW I do have the original disks (somewhere), it's just CGX3 on 2 floppies and behaves the same as the copy included in OS3.5 & 3.9 CDs.  Worked right off last time, but I recon I'll go with P96 and see how I do (just won't be able to use my vintage fern fractal blanker).
