Hi Guys

I ALWAYS wanted RTG on my A1200 since using the ZZ9000 and VA2000 on my Amiga 4000. I had a terriblefire 1260 which was nice for speed but still no RTG.

So i decided to check the PiStorm and setup it up no hassles following a few YT documentaries

After doing some monitor switching while setting up modes in P96, i got it looking great. But now i got the same issue i originally had on my A4000 when i DIDN'T have the VA2000.... while anything on WB looks great, as soon as i go for a game or demo from WHDLoad, it wants to use the original output, which is not ideal. There was a hardware solution for the A4000, but can this be done on the A1200?

I know there's software from aminet that does mode promotions, but i'm sure that's only for workbench software and not games/demos etc that are hardcoded to AGA/ECS.

Thanks for any tips to what i believe is a common question.
