The bundled software with the Picasso card has a mode-promotion utility, but in my experience,
not many (read: none) games work in conjunction with the board - I've tried Star Trek 25th
anniversary, Sim City 2000, BloodNet and many others, all to no avail :( I dumped the bundled
program and replaced it with NewMode3.5 (from AmiNet) which is mych more flexible (but still
doesn't run games) I mostly use my Picasso II for TV Paint, ImageFX 2.0 and LightWave work...
> Thanx for any response. I am uncertain abou what to buy:A Retina or a Picasso?!
Buy a Picasso II 'cos LightWave renders straight to it!
