- I haven't seen ShapeShifter (yet), but IMHO *anything* is going to be
- nauseatingly slow in 256 colors on AGA - the chipset is just too slow to
- handle this very well except in low resolutions. I think your best bet
- is to save up and buy a gfx card. If its a $$ problem, an oldish used
- one is probably available fairly cheaply. This is probably the single
- best thing you can do to upgrade your Amiga. Just make sure you get one
- that CyberGfx will work with.
-
- It'll make things like this go so much faster you will be amazed. And
- as a bonus you'll get to run 32K stuff in a real 32K screenmode.
