#aga emulation
4 messages in this thread
i have an a2000 w/ 2meg chip 8meg fast ram and gvp '030 33mhz accel. i am
thinking of upgrading my workbench to 3.1 and adding a picasso II w/ 2 meg of
ram for at least partial aga emulation. has anyone attempted this with any
success? got any ideas, tips etc..? i have heard that this should work with
most productivity programs (of the most interest), and also some games (yes,
also of interest). [C [C [C
The PicassoII works great in my A2000/030 with 3.1. But most AGA programs won't
run on it (a few will do, though).
You might have to remove 2MB from your fast ram, I believe, because Picasso
needs to address that memory space for it's own.

I have a Spectrum board in my A 2000 which also adresses some memory space
within the 8 MB. As far as I understand it, it depends on what kind of GVP
accelerator you have: On my (rather old) A3001 I had to remove 4 MB (!) of
32-bit-ram because on that board you can only have 0-4-8 MB.
I heard that the newer boards use "extended memory" or something like that and
you can adress more than 8 MB with them.

Steve,
I have an A2000 with 1M chip, 4M of 16-bit fast RAM, a GVP '030 25MHz
accelerator with 13M of 32-bit RAM, and a Picasso 2, with WB 3.1
It all seems to work fine, though I don't know anything about AGA
emulation, nor about games.
I did have quite some problem installing the software so that it started
up correctly. (This was when I still had WB 2.04.)
