DU and OS4   Message List

Hello


Has anyone else tried out DU on an Amiga One with the OS4 pre-release ?

Even though DU has worked on RTG screens and emulations like UAE before with
no problems it seems to break under OS4 and the new P96 system.

For more details and some comparison screen shots see
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/eaves/du_test

The bit that bangs the hardware, the intro, works fine and whizzes along at
a high rate even if in black & white.

It is the main programme that is showing some graphics glitches, mainly
misplacing of the horizon and very odd behaviour when trying to zoom in on
an object.

I suspect the new P96 which is still work in progress. Any confirmation of
how DU runs under OS4 would be helpful and also any similar problems with
RTG on classic systems too though I have not come across any of those -
problems with the intro don't count BTW.






Regards,

Bill.
