Hi.

So my problem is simple.
As a result of the thread there https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=23459 i had to downgrade my GVP Spectrum 28/24 Picasso96 drivers to an older version to have the WHDload kickemu games working.
The problem is now that shapeshifter, which is ok with the latest drivers, is very unstable with these drivers and crashes in a few seconds, whatever settings i use (CardtrickEVD, Picasso96 internal or external).
I have installed an IndiECS in order to use the Graffiti emulation in shapeshifter. It works perfectly stable in 8 bits mode, but is is very slow (about 0,3 the graphic speed of the Quadra650, while my A1200AGA gets 0,7, my P96 Spectrum in my A2000 gets about 0,6 and my P96 Cybervision64 3D gets 1,3 in my A4000).
So, considering that switching to CGX is a no go (totaly unfriendly software IMHO) as it hasn't worked good for me on this setup on my last attempts), i still have the opportunity to use EGS.
I would like to know if it is possible to have EGS and P96 at the same time.
So, i would use a P96 screen for my WB and an EGS screenmode for Shapeshifter, hopefully with better results.

Any idea?
 
So, do you prefer Shapeshifter to Fusion? Second my experience, Shapeshifter is a little faster than Fusion, but is more instable.
 
How can you setup ShapeShifter to use Graffiti emulation on IndivisionECS? I thought there isnt driver for it yet.
 
I have the same behavior from Shapeshifter and Fusion (which share the same MacOS hardfiles on my setup). This clearly shows that the P96 drivers are bhind that.

The IndiECS beta driver can be found on the german a1k.org forum.
 
Many thanks for telling me. I tried the beta IndiECS driver you pointed out and it works.
As to your question I think that EGS screenmodes are unsupported by Shapeshifter at all because EGS is not RTG compatible.

Actually, Shapeshifter 3.11 does have an EGS option.
Maybe i'm going to install EGS this weekend and see what happens with my Picasso96 setup.
