Retina Z2 help.
I wanted to run Workbench on my A2000 with higher colors and no flicker.
Today I received a Retina Z2 video card w/4mb ram. It installed well, and the software install seemed OK. Here are some questions: 1. Should using this card free up some chip ram. Or at least use the cards memory for things like the background picture, etc? 2. I read somewhere (many places) that retinaemu is rubbish. Some places said to use GVP ecs drivers. I downloaded all 5 disks (dms format) and disk 3 is unreadable (i couldn't open it in winuae or convert it to the hfe format for my floppy emulator). A. Does anyone have disk 3 B. Will it work? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. |

Professional slacker!

I had one of these and was very disappointed with it and opted for a Picasso II instead.
Any proper RTG card with pass through like ECS Spectrum would be a better option. Sorry I can't help with the driver disk, I used on the retina emu modes. I seem to recall being able to user a 256col Workbench in a fairly decent resolution but had issues running a lot of software. Maybe you can find my old project thread at Amibay. |

My goal for this card is mainly for Workbench. For games, I will use my trusty 1084s monitor.
I will look up your project thread (I think I read it already) |
