- Hi,
-
- Try RTap. I have used this to display Planetside demo on my 2Mb
- A500+ okay. *HOWEVER*, you WILL need to fanny about with params such as
- frame rate, buffer size, decrunch priority to get the *optimum*, i.e. no
- jerkiness. However, remember this is from a slow-HD, 68000, CHIPRAM only
- owner! :-) My '030 owning friend had no problems.... but RTap was good
- enough to get a nice optimum speed/performance with *no* jerks. It needs
- .ANIM format too I believe.
-
- Also, there is another called BigAnim.
-
- Sorry for such little info, but I got RTap from an internal PD
- network at work so I don't know where it/they are available "outside".
- Obviously though, try Fred Fish!
