I ran 'The Dig' on on my A1200T. This one has the 72mhz 060, I had to use this AGA version becuase the RTG seems to need CGX and this system uses a Mediator & Voodoo3 (Picasso96)
Anyhow the AGA version ran super smooth, even the intro animation was perfect and smooth. Anyone else running on an 060 should find these to be running pretty much like they would on PC, Monkey Island 1/2 are very smooth indeed! The only issue I had was no sound, my AHI is setup for Soundblaster 128 and for some reason although enabled I did not get any sound, I did update to latest AHI but I will fiddle with other settings. If I get the sound working I'll shoot a Video of it running. Steve. |

You're welcome
What I'm going to do is take a spare CF card with a standard OS3.9 install + 060 libs and update AHI, then try and run the AGA version without any of the Mediator drivers and such. If that works you get the Video |

Hmm, the ScummVM in the Zone is for 030's. That would lead me to believe it doesn't take advantage of any of the superscalar architecture of the 060, correct? Would this cause problems if I loaded it into it's own folder on the drive separate from my other install to test? -Edit- Okay I have loaded the zone version of ScummVM and can confirm on my A4000D/060 that the game does work, albeit slowly for me. Probably due to my blistering hard drive speeds of a whopping 4.5MB a second! I cannot play any of the games that use Adlib or Midi, although Full Throttle and the Dig work well, as they are full digitized audio, and they actually run okay as well.

yep the one in the zone is just 030 which will run fine on an 060 and yes, put it in it's own folder
make sure you run it with music disabled to start with (see above) |

Yes I can get it to run. I do have to disable music. I have to disable music in the 060 version trying to run those games as well, as it just runs too slow otherwise. I guess I need to get one of those FastATA cards for my A4000D. With music disabled the games run, and they run okay, but I do get the occasional pause as my hard drive thrashes to try and figure out what's next. This isn't too much of a big deal for me. But it is noticeable. When I watch the youtube video his system runs much better than mine. I take it he has a buffered IDE connection or a FastATA? I know my 060 is only 50MHz so that may have something to do with it as well.

Interestingly, a 68060 seems to have similar troubles with MIDI music as my 50 MHz 030 Blizzard, so perhaps it's not (only) a question of lack of raw CPU power.
It's a known fact that other than emulating a barely expanded A500 WinUAE is biased towards user-transparent optimized performance than making an actual replica of the equivalent real Amiga setup. If you "snoopdos" ScummVM AGA under WinUAE you'll spot some "uae audio device" working together with the expected paula AHI stuff, which could be adding some "magic" of its own in order to get MIDI music fast and smooth (which seems to be so difficult to achieve in our real Amigas). Of course that's just a wild guess of mine ^_^' I've just tried Leisure Suit Larry 1 with 1.4.0. First attempt: failed... eer, I mean, I couldn´t play the game 'cause I failed the maturity test questions... So now I know I know less about grown up life than my late eighties self!!! (keyboard shortcut to skip the questions didn't work, btw) OK, so on further attempts I get there and... It works with music in default position, but rather choppy and keyboard is unresponsive, making typing commands a real pain. With "no music" it's a bit slow, but nicely playable! -- |

yes hd transfer rate will definately have an effect on game performance and music playback, this is why an 060 with scuzzy does so well, fast transfer and no cpu hit that you get with ide
try copying a demo to your ramdisk to see if that improves things |

Tried that and it didn't help. I don't know what's going on. When I went to show my wife the cool stuff you have been able to do, suddenly I had no sound in my amiga at all. I don't know what happened. My AD516 and my Paul wouldn't output any sound at all. I wish I could tell you what went wrong, but audio just completely died. I had to reinstall the OS partition from image and that seems to have restored the sound for the moment.
I'm using SCSI in my instance, sadly it's just not super fast UW3 SCSI it's just SCSI2 it's the NCR53C710 chip, so it's only got a maximum throughput of 10MB/s. It averages 4.5-5.15MB/s as per SysSpeed. Last edited by NathanTolbert; 12 February 2011 at 19:30. |

Thanks to FtizSteve, sit back and enjoy the Dig running on AGA and as a bonus, a sneak peak at the first attempt of getting Broken Sword 1 running in 640x480x256 on a real Amiga.....
[ Show youtube player ] Check the speed of the UI on Steve's 060, nice and fast Last edited by NovaCoder; 10 March 2011 at 01:43. |

Good stuff with the ScummVM port NovaCoder and impressive vid on a 72Mhz 060 Steve Would really like to see how ScummVM would run on a PPC (Steve?). Also the transition to 256 AGA colours seems to work nicely on Broken Sword

Thanks
640x480x256 is really working the AGA chipset, I need Jens to release the new IndivisionAGA to give it some more speed |

I'd be happy to try Broken Sword in RTG if you did manage to put a test pack together? Quote:
Also your RTG support was CGX, is it possible to support Picasso96? These Indivision Cards can do some incredible stuff. |

After a lot of hard work, I've manage to improve the speed of the 030 version to the point where a lot of games are now playable (including Full Throttle and Discworld).
Thanks to rockersuke you can see a great video of all the action right [ Show youtube player ] The release build (v1.2.1) is currently in the Zone for testing, if a few fast (50Mhz+) 030 owners could try it out for me that would be great.......if all goes well I'll upload it to AmiNet next week. Thanks again for all the beta testing rockersuke Now, only the 040/060/RTG version's to update and the ECS version to code and I'll be all done |

Great stuff NovaCoder
When I open up my A1200 I'll do some testing again. Screws are in and haven't felt like pulling it apart lol. Your AGA version with Sound is only working for me on a basic Classic Workbench setup not with my fully pimped out Benches hence why its not so easy for me to pick up and test but I do have the CF card here that I used for testing so its only a case of swapping things around when I open the Case up. Good news is it will be getting opened up soon to fit a Fan Speed controller so I'll probably take that oportunity to do some testing Steve. |
