On Aminet there is a patch for RTGMaster lib, which is to fix some bugs -but it appears to predate the RTGMaster lib archive, so I wasn't clear if it was appropriate to use or not. I guessed not.

On my previous system I also found, that running MCPramlibpatch improved stabilty of the game. Increasing the stack is always a good idea. However the annoying bug as described by Steve makes the game quite annoying, because once the red mutant-dog touches you, your energy drops to zero immediately. The funny thing is: If you fire your weapon then, you can sometimes remain the game with 999 Points of energy.

Thanks Grex I'll give that a go. I've never used MCP but it sounds like MCPramlibpatch might help. Mind you, I worry a bit about the number of patches run at the beginning of my startup-sequence these days. |

@Angus
If you want to give it a try, it is part of this RTGmaster-Distribution: http://aminet.net/driver/video/rtgmaster_user.lha However so far I couldn't get the version from the Zone working on my system, so maybe there is something wrong with it, who knows. My installation here works (damn fast), but there is this annoying hell-hound-bug... |

Thanks - yup that's what I've been using. I'll give it a try and report back if its stable. Is it just the Hellhounds that cause the problem or any enemies? As I recall they dont't feature much (at all?) after the first level, and I think they are possibly the most in-yer-face enemies in the game, so if it is all enemies, it should at least be less of a problem with the more stand-offish (but my dear fellow, we haven't been properly introduced!) robots. My problem is the sheer lack of light as much as anything else. Last edited by Angus; 21 September 2007 at 15:57. Reason: additional point |

What's your problem? I didn't say i *believe* in the patch, just that i wanted someone to test and post the results here. I myself haven't tried the patch ever.

I have never see the rtg patch in action, but do you think it will make a speed difference? I remember when I tried Zombie Massacre (and gloom?) rtg modes, the speed was about the same as AGA...

Yep, he RTG most of the time just directs the graphics input through the graphics card and does not speed things up. In fact, there are games that are faster on AGA than on RTG (can't think of one now).

Of course it makes a difference! On WinUAE at least it makes a HUGE difference. I don't know the framerate but must be at least 10x faster on my machine than standard AGA. Maybe if you have a very very powerful PC it may run fast enough in normal AGA anyway. Mine is quite slow by todays standards and games like Breed 3D and Gloom Deluxe are slow as pish. Using RTG Gloom Deluxe is smooth as hell. So yes it does make a difference. Why would someone go to the bother of writing an RTG patch if it wasn't going to make any difference to the speed of the game? Sheesh. |

being able to display on your main monitor without hooking up a tv or plugging in scandoubler/switch is reason enough even if there is little to no speedup gained with rtg

RTG should make a huge difference. The chunky to planar calculation is quite CPU intensive and is no longer required. Data no longer needs to be copied into slow chip ram before being displayed.
With RTG + AHI (if you have a sound card) everything can be in 32-bit fast ram close to the accelerator. If you dont notice a difference... take a look at your RAM priorities. |
