Hi everybody. A friend of mine has an A4000, recently equipped with a Retina BLT-Z3 card. He experiences problems with the fast emulation: In REAL3D the editing color is the same as the background – useless. Icons (workbench) remain on the window, cut in pieces and in inverted colors. Does anyone know about the same problems and how to correct it? No help from manufacturer (yet)… Thanks – Rolf

That is wierd. I have one, but have not had a problem like that. Otoh, I have discovered that the Retina palette prefs program is basically useless and screws up all my colors – and this may possibly be the problem. So, use the WB palette prefs program, and save the defaults, and NEVER load the Retina preffs program. Possibly try and set Real3D's palette prefs from within Real3D, or, if it's on a public screen, use a public screen palette managing program. Hope this helps. Let me know what happens. Paul

Rolf, the blitter mode is experiencing problems with the WB emulator under the current software release. I hope they'll improve it with the next release (real soon now) … For now you're better off using the normal retina mode 🙁 DJ On AP from Queens, the thrill and excitement of the Big Apple Where a little paranoia is always a healthy attitude …

Hi Rolf. I experienced a similar problem when using the excellent Magic Menu program using the blitter. Problem went away when running under retina standard mode. Alan
