    My question is about RTG performance in games. For example, Foundation seems to run quite fast, but the screen flickers whenever I click on something. AB3DII only opens in a tiny window at the top-right corner, and I can’t figure out how to make it larger. Etc...


    My setup is an A500+ with a TF536. I know the 68030 has its limits, so I’m not expecting miracles. Firmware is up to date, and I’m running the latest P96 drivers.


    Has anyone had success running RTG games? Maybe someone has a P96 config they could share?


    Thanks.

    AB3DII TKG works on full screen


    Foundation I have not yet tested.

    I use the previous version indi firmware and P96 3.5.0.

    Hmm. You use that RTG patch for AB3DII TKG from Aminet right (tkgrtg)? What is your CPU? Any custom P96 settings (Not for the game specifically, but in general)?

    Previous version of the firmware is out of question for me as RTG definitely doesn't work at all. Maybe it is incompatible with my P96 version (3.6.0)

    My hardware Amiga 600, kick and WB 3.1, turbo card A630 with FPU.

    In the P96 preferences i have additionally configured a resolution of 320x256.

    AB3DII TKG i downloaded from github, but it is probably the same on aminet.

    You need to pay attention to Picasso 96 preferences and made correct screen modes.

    It works fine for me. It runs quite smoothly at low resolutions, but rather slowly at 640x480.

    utri007, I’ve got all the screen modes configured starting from 320x240, and they all seem to work fine. I was just curious if you’ve changed anything in the P96 Prefs tool, either under the overall settings or the IndiECS section.


    RokiS, Foundation runs at 320x200, but the screen keeps flickering.


    At this point I can’t get "any" games running without issues. Feels like I must be missing something, because RTG modes on the Workbench desktop work flawlessly.

    Have you updated the Indivision yet?

    How are the games working for you now? Because I noticed that with blitter on, Foundation (ver 1.06) blinks all the time (as Napalm did before) and Napalm generates 1,5 frames forward and 1 backward :). If I turn off blitter then Foundation doesn't blink and Napalm runs again smoothly just blinking.

    The only problem I have is with Flyin High - here only the animation (intro) works, then I only have the cursor on a black background.

    Honestly, I've stopped trying the RTG games for now. I had success only with AB3DII-TKG. For the others, either they do not work at all or require too much attention and fine tuning.


    I am very happy with the RTG for the desktop and for some programs. The high quality native modes are awesome for the games. :)
