- I'm pretty sure Wolfenstein3D requires 8-bit to run. This would mean
- either AGA or a Gfx card. I've run it on a PicassoII. I have a friend who
- has run it on his A4000 using the AmigaAGA-EVD video driver. The
- PicassoII ran it much faster, so I think a gfx card makes quite a bit of
- difference. Both machines have the 68030/25Mhz. I've had really great
- success using the PicassoII with ShapeShifter. I would consider a gfx
- card a very important investment for serious Mac emulation.
