Merlin gfx card

ceaser · 16 March 2011, 06:06

There is ProBench. There is MUI. There is the Merlin drivers that don't work so well. I'm working entirely off the drivers I got here: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/merlin

I wasn't sent any drivers with the card. MUI seems to have a "Merlin mode" that I see in the free version, but I have read a bunch of posts about this guy being slow in sending you the key. That is some bad business if he does that. You should get keys within 24 hours when you Paypal.

But, I don't know that MUI 3.8 is even what to use for this card. What should I use? It seems to me I've read that ProBench is best with this, but I get the feeling you have to buy that from some random developer too if you want the real deal.

Help!

I suggest you use the Picasso96 RTG software on your Merlin gfx card.

Get it from

I just picked up a used merlin - well, it will arrive soon, and i was wondering what kind of resolutions I will be able to get out of it?

I got 4MB on the Merlin. Can I do 1024x768x16-bit?

Surely.. I've done that on 1MB cards on the PC.

Are You sure? 1024*768*2=1.5MB
