Changes to the 68k Version:
- Well, it is for PPC now :)
- "Normal" Version runs at about 170% on a 150 MHz Board, probably
faster on a 200 MHz Board :)
- With env:Frodo/Fullscreen you can say, if Frodo should run in a
Workbench Window or a Screen. Note: Frodo is quite slow, if you
run it in 15-24 Bit, so i recommend running it on a 8 Bit Screen.
Frodo needs a 392x301 Screen, but it also can run on bigger
sized Screens.
- Frodo now also supports AGA. But on GFX Boards it is much faster
(you need to run it in Interlaced for AGA...)
Sound is not yet implemented, if you try to activate AHI, it will
just crash. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. I am working on it.
This is an Update of the PPC Version:
- Now optionally display through rtgmaster.library is supported (only for
GFX Boards). To activate it, set env:Frodo/usertg to 1, if you set i
to 0, rtgmaster won't be used.
Running it on rtgmaster, changes the following things (all timing done
on 150 MHz 604e):
- Normal version changes from 170% to 180% speed
- PC Version changes from 130% to 145% speed
- SC Version stays around the same
- The Menu is no longer accessible (not supported by rtgmaster), you
can quit by pressing CTRL+Q (this only works in the rtgmaster-mode).
Asides from that, no changes (means: Sound still not working, working on it).
If you want faster a AGA version:
I need a c2p algorithm, that can c2p from 392x301 Bytes Chunky Buffer to
a 640x400 Sized Planar Screen (anyways, if 68k or PPC). If someone can
give me such a c2p, then it will run faster on AGA.
