- So feel free why a "display list" makes WritePixel fast.

-
- Rubbish. Read again. C0d3rz are the loudest to _refuse_ to use system
- code.
-

-
- Yeah, that's the most easy way. C0d3rz are sooooooo perfect and if
- it weren't for the evil CBM management they could rule the world.

- Absolutely.

-
- Shadow-of-the-beast does not run on any GFX card. Poking hardware does
- not work on other hardware.
-

-
- Because they wanted game sales. They were realistic enough to see that
- c0d3rz would still bang the hardware. BTW, the ECS "emulation" is just
- a minimum effort as AGA is mainly an extended ECS. If you make the
- software not use the extensions you have ECS more or less.
-

-
- Right. It exactly proves my point.
-
- > You dont kill the OS you put the OS to Sleep,
-
- You can't put the OS to sleep, simply because you don't know the OS.
- You might know the OS in a common state on common hardware
- configurations. That's all. And since even that isn't documented
- the c0d3rz fail to do even this regularly.
-
- > But this wont fix anything... AT need to write a low level effienct

-
- This is called AmigaOS. Believe it. And don't say "multimedia" when
- you mean "hacker's joy to be a nuisance".
-
- > So people dont have to hit the HW.
-
- Forget it.
-
- > 1.x to 3.x is a joke...
-
- Then laugh and die.
-

-
- And the first thing they do is to remove it, without thinking, without
- trying, with the knowing smile on the lips that they are perfect.
-
- I can see the result in more or less every game.
