with AGA chipset and ROM 3.0+ ?

AGA is Commodore's "revolutionary" Advanced Graphics Architecture chip - introduced first in the A4000, then the A1200.

It basically just allows more colours & better resolutions.

You need to set your emulator up as a A1200 to play AGA games.

"AA" is AGA, it was renamed by Commodore.

When CE was released it was AGA.... Commodore's AA chipset was the newer version that didn't happen... at least thats what i thought

???

It's getting very late so excuse my fuzzy braincells djay. But I recall at the time of the A1200's launch,(& A4000),magazine's like The One etc. all did make mention of the machine's having the "AA" chipset which was changed in a marketing gimmick. Though I'm quite sure it was AA,(with the next chipset being AAA).

@7-Zark-7

Ahh hhaa... thats right, AAA was the next chipset, i suppose Commodore told developers like The Bitmaps that the chipset was called AA, and the game probably took a while to make...

Why is it that Ive seen in several places AGA Cadaver to download when no such version exists?

Djay · 04 September 2002, 23:14

like Frontier AGA?

Dastardly · 04 September 2002, 23:20

I wonder what other non-existent AGA versions are available.
