I called FTI and asked specifically what the drawback to tga versus native a60 format is, and he said it's only speed, because the Abekas needs to convert RGB to YUV for its frambuffer. We agreed that since 3DS doesn't render YUV directly (listening Gary? Good R4 suggestion) where you convert wouldn't really make much difference unless you found a faster, better conversion utility than the Abekas itself. The only advantage I can see in the ASDG drivers is their color correction, which, I believe, comes out better than the 3DS color correction, but it could be my imagination <g>.
