- Currently, the Amiga has EGS and CyberGfx as RTG standards. These, however,
- hardly compare with the RTG abilities, for instance, on the Mac. When will
- the Amiga have such a standard that no matter what you are using as a video
- source, anything will work through it? It is nice to get AGA quality with
- a video card, but it is a bummer to not be able to actually be able to use
- a lot of the AGA programs (games in particular) with the video card. Is
- a RTG standard that will work 'no matter what' a project under discussion?
- Or as long as there is hardware 'banging' will this never really be able
- to happen? And does that mean that nobody bangs the hardware on the Mac?
- Any answers, insights or comments are appreciated!
