The only tooltypes relating relating to vsync in the monitor driver are for setting the minimum and max. Both are set at 60 on my system.

If a game uses vsynch it it should just lock the frame rate in relation to the refresh rate of the monitor. It more about maintaning a consistent frame rate than limiting the speed at which the game itself runs.

If you compare my video to NovaCoder's own video you can see there are issue beyond the speed at which the game runs. The game scrolls or jumps beyond the boundaries of the gamneplay area and object are also drawn beyond that boundary.

Black listing the game so it runs using interpreted 68k emulation makes no difference, well maybe a few more seconds before the game over message is displayed.

MorphOS user have reported it to be running fine on their systems although one did have a problem with the player ship not being drawn correctly.

I recently spotted this game from NovaCoder at EAB.

https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=119350

The game requires a high end 68k system i.e. PiStorn and uses RTG and AHI. It can be found below.

https://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/G-WARS

I gave it a try on OS4.1 on my X1000 as it should in theory be compatible but the results are not as they should be.

I wonder if anyone else can test on other OS4.1 systems to see if they have the same issue.

When you recommend the ‘pericom’ bridge, I see on startech.com that they only have a model that converts PCI to PCIe (short) so how the hell do you connect an HD/RX there?


PCIe x1-x16 adapters are fairly inexpensive.

Or is it that there are graphics cards in PCie (mini) HD/RX ?


The Radeon 6450 seems to have been the last card available in PCI or PCIe x1 versions.

It makes more sense to upgrade a little current Radeon drivers, for example have RadeonHD v.5 for A1222+ and Sam440ep-flex and H.265 decoder for Polaris cards. And - if there are enough time and power - slowly develop driver for more modern AMD.


Southern Islands and Polaris cards also have VCE ASIC which isn't utilised in Amiga OS. I don't know if it's part of A-EON/Han's to create an API and drivers to enable hardware video encoding.

Hardware video encoding support brings the possiblity of more capable video editing software or SRec (screen recorder) having VCE support.

Supporting additional cards brings new headaches for no real gains in terms of new system capabilities.

Re: Amiga 1222: Catweasel MK4 and a graphics card at the same time?

@FirstNinja

The Catweasel Mk2 can be connected to an IDE port. AmigaKit did sell a cable and drivers so it could be used with the X1000's IDE port. In theory it should work with a SATA to IDE adapter, Epsilon has this setup so maybe he could test it with his A1222 to confirm.

Catweasel Mk2 shouldn't be anymore difficult to find than the PCI versions. I'm sure if you contact Amigakit (best to PM at amiga.org) they'd be willing to supply the required cable and drivers.

You just need to get hold of Seek and Destroy now. There's an Amiga version for your A1200 and enhanced DOS version for emulation on your X5000.

Re: Why not use the second core for chipset emulation?

Which brings me to the idea I posed in the title. On the PowerPC machines that have an extra core that isn't used, could it be feasible to use that core to run a chipset emulator? If it's never preempted, it should be easier to keep timing, albeit it has to emulate several different chips, but none of them run at clock speeds close to the core's real clock speed.


The question would be how much additional and useful software would be able to run directly in OS4 with such a solution. I sold my BPPC before OS4 was available for it so I've never been able to make a comparision between PPC hardware with the chipset and hardware without. I do know that WHDload is fundamentally incompatible with OS4, so the vast majority of games that require the chipset simply cant be run without resorting to UAE.

You mean get users to sign a pre-authorization agreement on an Amistore website which then enables them to purchase from the Amistore with one click?**

Yes, I think that could be done.


I think that would be the optimal solution for most users and alternative payment options from within the Amistore app for users that want to use a different payment method.

AFAIK, there's one big road-block in the way of achieving this: payment processor APIs require a working modern web browser. For security reasons credit card numbers need to be sent directly to the payment processor (PayPal, Stripe, etc.). That way only the payment processor needs to have a PCI DSS level security.


What if Amistore only transmitted non-sensitive data such as your username and a code for the product you wish to purchase, and your card details were saved in your account on the Amistore website. On the server side it would reference the product code and username and charge your card accordingly.

A continous payment agrement (CPA) provides the framework for the merchent to charge your card as and when for a non-predetermined amount

My question as someone who isn't a web developer is, can an automated payment be prompted from an external source in this way?

@kas1e

I haven't suffered any bugs when using Amistore but I don't like the clunky payment system and the fact that Paypal charges aren't factored into prices displayed on Amistore.

I'd rather it if the server side could deal with card payments directly from within Amistore. Having to open a browser, or more likely get a link emailed so you can complete the payment using another device isn't the greatest experience. If Amigakit want to sell the A600GS to a wider audience they really need to focus getting a payment system more in line with users expectations based on the experience of app stores on other platforms.

Lastly, software not compatible with 68k systems needs to filtered out as standard so, if not outright excluded so as not to cause confusion and dissapointment.

Also I notice in my updater, I see I do not have W3D Nova Bridge Library installed.

Is this an application that will help the Radeon RX card, so far from what I can find about it, I could be wrong here, it is just a software library or driver to allow you to play classic games in 3d from what I gather?


Nova Bridge is a wrapper for software that requires Warp 3D to run. It's especially useful for RX cards since there is no RX Warp3D driver.

I guess it's usefulness on A1222+ will depend on whether or not Warp3D Nova software runs at acceptable frame rates.

@rjd324

I don't know where you're based but Ebuyer in the UK still have stock of R7 240 cards with GDDR5.
There may be other retailers with SI cards out there.

RX550 doesn't seem to hard to get hold. Higher end cards are out there but you pay a premium if it from well known brand, there cheaper cards from Chinese brands you've never heard of.

Do you still have the 4000 series card? You might probably need a working display to set the system up before swapping over to the RX. Since you already have an RX560 it might be worth testing with that before adding another card to yout collection.
