- Hello everyone!
-
- As I promised... O N E S C A P E E R T G ..is ready!
-
- This patch is for the commercial release!
-
-
- 1. How to install?
-
- Run the provided installer script.
- Then run - not from the CD - the program 'Escmode', choose the suitable screenmodes,
- and run the game (again, not from the CD!).
-
- Not more than 250K free HD space required.
-
-
- 2. What screenmodes to choose?
-
- You should select modes called Chunky and/or 8bit.
- Regarding to the size, a low-res(320x256) mode for the game screen,
- and a hi-res(640x400) for the menu screen.
- If you don't have a 320x256 mode, but a 320x240 one, I think the bottom edge
- of the screen won't be displayed. It's not a too big problem, but anyway, create
- a 320x256 mode, it worth the effort!
-
-
- 3. It runs, but it too slow for me....
-
- In short: our test results show, that the Picasso96 software approx.
- 3 times faster than CGFX_V3. It probably because we tried it only with Picasso
- cards. If sw changing won't help, then I'm suggesting hw upgrade...
- I'm sure many of you will ask for code optimatization, but it would be as a giant
- work, that it isn't reasonable.
-
- Test results on 030-25, with 70ns rams:
- With Picasso96 software:
- Z3 PicassoIV: half the speed of the AGA version, almost playable. (around 7-9 fps)
- Z2 PicassoII+: half the speed of the pIV card.
- With CGFX_V3:
- Z2 PicassoII+: three times slower than under p96.
-
- So it seems that a 030-50 and a PicassoIV card with Picasso96 sw can produce perfect framerate
- So try it, or try the upcaming rtg demo. You can email me the results, but I'm not able
- to make the game faster :(. It would mean the total rewriting of the gfx system of
- the game, new image formats... Instead I feel like developing new games based on rtg graphics!
