- -MC68020
- -graphic board with CyberGraphX (eg. CyberVision64, Picasso II, Retina, etc)
- or AGA chipset
- -2MB of FastRAM, 512K of ChipRAM
-
-
- software requirements
- -CyberGraphX 2.21 or higher (if used with a graphic board)
- -asyncio.library V39 (included)
-
-
- recommended hardware requirements:
- -Amiga with AmigaOS 3.1 (V40)
- -MC68040 at 25MHz minimum
- -graphic board with CyberGraphX 2.21 or higher

- Changes since V1.10:
- - fixed again some problems with oversized frames. I wonder which software
- saves such bullshit :(
- - fixed bug in DVI ADPCM stereo decoder
- - dithering is now available for all truecolor encodings and looks much better
- than before
- - again found some animations with completely wrong buffersizes! This drives
- me crazy!
- - implemented automatic resampling of audio data, if frequency is >27kHz and
- no double scanned video mode is available
- - optimizied skipping detection. CyberAVI now skips less often than before and
- produces more smooth playback.
- - fixed one very strange colormap bug. What is wrong with 236 used colors
- instead of 256??
- - skipping is now (hopefully) perfect and never activated if there is no need
- to skip
- - displaying colormapped animations (8bit or less) on public truecolor screens
- is now possible with CyberGraphX 3 (rev 41.9 and up)
- - added support for single-frame AVIs with sound
- - finally managed to implement JPEG decoding. I can't explain why it didn't
- work before. But be warned: it is DAMN slow. You need at least an MC68060/50
- for nearly smooth playback!
- - fixed division-by-zero problems for animations with no information about
- keyframes
- - some small optimizations
