Hi, I'm an alien.

Ratte · Aug 3, 2011, 09:16 AM

In 2010 I joined the techPowerUp! forum to get in contact with BAGZZlash.
I am coding on my old retro-classic Amiga and needed some details about the radeon-bios.
Yes, my old (often called gaming-computer) is a littlebit pimped ... with PCI and other goodies.
There is a existing radeon-driver but i missed some features and so i started to write my own driver.
BAGZZlash helped me with the radeon-bios and the offsets.
Playing with a 68k(Motorola) CPU on a x86 Radeon-Bios is sometimes confusing big/little endian madness ;-)

Ok, enough from from my alien-work.

My first computer was an Amiga 500.
Did so much disk swapping I busted the disk drive.
Good times.

Red_Machine · Aug 3, 2011, 02:17 PM

I have an Amiga A600 up in the loft. Fun times.

lemonadesoda · Aug 4, 2011, 12:12 PM

Ratte, respect for old skool 6502/68K (and similar) CPUs. Nice hobby. Good skills.

Can you now drive a TFT through the DVI port? Superb and amazing seeing the Amiga decoding MPEG. How on earth did you develop your own drivers? Must have taken you a long time and a lot of debugging. Amazing. Skills. Respect.

Ratte · Aug 24, 2011, 09:28 PM

Windows95 installed on a 68k System.

That was a Britain-only model, so you may have more luck aquiring one.

KieranD · Aug 24, 2011, 09:48 PM

Its basically a modified A2000 with extras for our market.
The 4000 has the AGA chipset which is nice.

Red_Machine · Aug 24, 2011, 09:59 PM

But AGA causes issues with some games. That and some games just plain refuse to boot on an 030 or an 060.
