Re: Where is the AGA extension?

Hello kairaisen,

I've never seen the AGA extension, myself. I'm helping to write a new
Amos like language with AGA support, graphics card support, and even
support for other non-Amiga systems using Simple Directmedia Layer
(also known as SDL).

I suspect that the AGA extension was a hackish proposition since
AmosPro has some hard-coded limitations in it. I think it was also a
commercially distributed extension whose author has left the AmosPro
scene.

The problem the user ran into with the interlaced screen resolutions
was probably due to the fact that an interlaced screen only displays
half of the resolution per field of each frame and makes copper
effects such as rainbows and sprite effects difficult to set up.

Let me know if I can help you in some other way,

--Sam
