- >I've heard that it is possible for some graphics cards to emulate AGA.
- >Is this true?
-
- Yes, you can get some AGA software to run on RTG graphics cards. I've got a
- Spectrum (w/ CyberGraphX) and have many of my applications to run off the
- graphic card with a much faster display then that of AGA.
-
- >If so, what degree of AGA compatibility do they offer? Could I boot an
- >AGA game from an NDOS disk?
-
- Well the game has to run under Workbench. Even still, they have to be system
- friendly to run on a graphics card. I've only found about 2 games that do run
- under a graphic card well.
-
- >What cards are available to produce this emulation? What is their
- >new/used prices?
-
- A new card will be from $400 on up. If you are lucky you might be able find a
- used one.
-
- >Are there any other options to get AGA from an A3000?
-
- No others that I know about.
-
- >Thanks for any help!
