AGA on PIV A3000?

22dave66 · 19 May 2020, 22:28

Apologies if this is software related and completely normal, i've been away from the Amiga for so long i'm almost a noob!

I have just been tinkering with Picasso96 Variable Setter (MUI) and saved the settings with "31khz" and "Fake Native Modes" checked/on. I was actually trying to see if AHI was doing anything but didn't get any results so i loaded Megaball 4 for a quick game, it opened on a 1/4 size screen with fully working AGA graphics. I've figured out it's down to the Fake Native Modes switch but i'm wondering if the PIV can do this with a full screen and other AGA games?

No it can’t. Mega ball just supports RTG. You can open it up on a proper screen if you have one and set the monitor ID.

My ancient quick test with fakenativemodes was around 30-40% of games I had did work. But not F1GP which I really wanted.

Fair enough, to be honest i've never seen a game make use of RTG. When i open Megaball in it's default screen it reverts to ECS graphics.
