@milanca

Please report how do these drivers perform over here

milanca · 27 January 2010, 17:44

Hi,

cosmicfrog, gulliver, thanks a lot. I will report back how it was.

Kind regards,

I wonder why no P96 drivers for Retina Z2 ?

I know that the Z2 is EGS, however the Picaso 2 has P96 and EGS drivers, would it be possible to use these as source?

inquring minds and all that.

zipper · 01 February 2010, 11:25

No idea - perhaps Retina works only in segmented mode?

Damion · 10 February 2010, 23:18

Wow, many thanks to Gulliver for making this available.

No difference in benchmarks on my PIV, but everything seems stable as before.

One note:

PicassoIV.card eliminates the ability to select 15/16-bit "PC" screenmodes. (Same as in early Picasso96 releases.) Not a biggie, although PowerIcons causes some strange glitches around icons unless a "PC" mode is selected. Simple fix is to use the previous version of PicassoIV.card. (This glitch doesn't occur at all with early versions of rtg.library, or using 24-bit modes.)

Bamiga2002 · 10 February 2010, 23:30

So was the glitch due to rtg.library or picassoiv.card?

Damion · 10 February 2010, 23:52

The bug is probably in PowerIcons or rtg.library, you have to revert to a really ancient version of the lib to avoid the problem. (Might not be a good idea.)

You can't select PC modes with the new picassoIV.card, which shouldn't be a issue - it's just that a PC 15/16-bit mode is needed to avoid the glitch with PowerIcons.

Hope that made sense.

Installed on a meditor1200 + voodoo3-2000 setup. caused quake and Doom (doomattack and Adoom) to have a flashing yellow software error at top.
removed and reverted back to former version of P96 and all works well?

gulliver · 29 March 2010, 02:36

I will test those myself (quake and doom), as I have the same setup as yours. And see if I get the same results.

Philophus · 29 March 2010, 13:53

It was strange as the games still moved just flashed up this error during it.

slk486 · 12 May 2010, 10:40

Could this release be put back in the zone?

Just got my new (well old) Picasso SD64 and would like to try them out

Please report any findings.

@Philophus
At this moment I have my Amiga in unassembled form due to a big hardware update, so unfortunately I wont be able to continue testing untill I have enough time.

mfilos · 30 August 2011, 23:52

Why wouldn't you want P96 for CVisionPPC board when you can put CGX4 which is way better and a lot more user friendly!

nexusle · 10 December 2011, 22:47

Where to get the version with Permedia chip (CVisionPPC) driver?!

The one behind the link above is without these driver
