VDV> You cite technical mngo harakteristik is good, but it's
taki would like to view znat Knowing people in sravnenii Amiga
with other kompyuterami and pristavkami best for games (since
no secret
MM> Best-pristavki are Best money I
I have no mind SEGA, S. NINTENDO, DENDY .. .
Besides kartridzhi (some gamers
can not stand to see vtechenii some time, PLEASE WAIT, LOADING
... with CD-based consoles) are nemalo, although
for multi-millionaires in the samy raz. Nay,
Some pristavki priblizhayutsya on graficheskoy performance of
SGI, but they only pristavkii ... ;)
VDV> that almost all za rare exception, pokupayut computers in
the first place for razvlecheny) a tak HOW Amiga -
multimedia computer, then to him it
relates primarily prvda not it?
Itak, where the same all-taki better grafika (not
animatsiya, a kartinki)? A takzhe in sravnenii Amig'i with
Seg'oy (tak HOW I had no idea 've sklko flowers at SEGA, but as
the judges saw and if I znal spetsialista opinion, the
could about what predstavit takoe
Amiga).
MM> Ha date, there are 3
graficheskih Architecture Amiga. With emphasis sdelanna samuyu
last, kotoraya obespechivaet compatibility of top-down with
more starymi realizatsiyami. Here they are: OCS -
OriginalChipSet, applied long time nA first mashinah and had 32
color registra, allowing otobrazhat kartinki in 32 Colors
(without ispolzovaniya Copper), a tak same treatment HAM6,
which otobrazhal nA ekrane 4096. Palitra imela
razryadnost 12 bits, which is prevalent made in
turn 4096 colors. Later in the OCS
was dobavlen mode EHB - or ExtraHalfBright, which allowed
otobrazhat 64 Colors. Tak HOW registers ostavalos
32, dopolnitelnye32 Colors poluchalis division brightness
primary color nA large screen (HalfBright). OCS obespechival
razresheniya by srokam 320 in 32 Colors and HAM6, and EHB,
and 16 colors in razreshenii 640, on verikali
razresheniya from 200 to 512. Chip memory is the volume was
increased za period modifikatsii OCS from 256K to 1MB.
In 1990 byla vypuschena A3000 with
slegka modified ChipSet which nazyvalsya ECS (Enhanced Chip
Set), everything in it was approximately the same tak HOW and
OCS, but could adresovat 2MB memory is, and had super-high
razreshenie 1280 on a line with 4 tsvetami me. Some changes
kassnulis Blitter (heart grafiki), which is now
could peresylat gorazdo large memory is chasti za raz.
With the advent of A4000 in 1992 in which
would predstavlen samy advanced since sozdaniya Amiga Chipset.
It was the AGA. Advanced Grafix Architecture, a revolutionary
skachkom forward relative to the ECS. In It poyavilas 24
bitnaya palitra (12 in ECS), and in any razreshenii could
ispolzovat 256 colors and a new regime HAM8, allowing
otobrazhat 18 bit grafiku (262144 Colors simultaneously in any
of razresheniyah palityr 16. 7000000.). That kasaemo games,
then in the OCS and ECS for two nezavisimyh game planov was
available in 7 colors (DualPlayfield, Each time a plane can be
a game to 7 colors), a in AGA this pokazatel increased more than
large screen raza! 16 colors in the field of play. It sounds
frivolous, but if you add an even more cunning tricks with
Copper, then the colors will be more and planov, more tak at
least krayney will kazatsya. To be sure, go and look at
somebody from duzey igruhu (rasschitanuyu nA OCS) Lion HEART
(Lion Heart).. This is a typical example of HOW klassichesky
without huge zatrat (PC) sdelat all plavno and with a bunch of
planov.
Generally, if the right in the forehead, then in principle
staticheskie kartinki nA True Color sVGA and A1200 are
identical (anybody can distinguish HAM8 of 24-bit?)
VDV> A takzhe for music, I would like znat one thing: HOW
produced proigryvanie Moose coprocessor muzona
(HOW nA Speccy-nado vsegda kidat dannye it new or is there
something kakoy better way, naprimer muses.
Ave sam takes the following dannye, a CPU
only izredka kidaet him a new Address
muzona?)
MM> Paula - the voice of the Amiga. Rabotaet
extremely simple (I'm talking about sound). There
4 kanala direct dostupa to memory is (DMA),
on by vyborka of memory is with a certain period ocherednaya
portion dannyh. Vyborka sound dannyh
has higher priority than the processor, a
time of sampling must nA end kazhdoy
TV lines rastra. Za raz vybiraetsya 2 Words (one word of 16
bits). Period for kazhdogo kanala programmiruetsya potsessorom
through registers Paula. Except that nA kanale Each time a
controller Volume razryadnostyu in 6 bits, which together
8 bitami zvuka daet dinamichesky diapazon 14 bits (from a CD
16-bit). Programmirovanie tunes by the processor, and zanimaet
not much time. Tak dazhe nA 68000 with 7Mhz modules
skompilirovannye TrackerPacker 3, proigryvanii zanimayut only 3
rows rastra (if schitat on hakerski).
VDV> Tak, going dalshe: no secret of the fact
that many kolebayutsya what to buy - AMIGA1200turbo or Pentium
with a bunch of pribambasov, and I HOW predstavitel takoy
rassy, whole soul gravitate to the exotic Amig'e,
but constantly see new GAMES by IBM
(Tipa FANTASMAGORIA, etc.) and want uznat, a vybrav AMIGA, get
this-I nA It is not ostanemsya-whether we are back at
otstayuschih - HOW nA Speccy (prosba not vozrazhat, HOW
not bitter, but pravda and it's all ponimayut.)
MM> Amiga Commodore after krizisa vstala nA feet, and not in
a hurry in the coffin. Ha it write programmy, razrabatyvaetsya
iron. All that nA Speccy already davnym-davno not
delayut. In this regard, bury Amiga ranovato ...
MM> In principle, the same samoe unlikely gorazdo can get
better. Of course, nA bare A600, or A1200, it is unlikely to be
rabotat.
VDV> tak glavny question here is: Tough Games still write
under the Amiga and IBM (with worst kachestvom), or just under
the IBM?
MM> Write and by then, and under another, glavnoe elsewhere:
in a strane malo nas who zanimaetsya dostavaniem softa. A if
anyone zanimaetsya, the meager masshtabah, and
his vkusam. At that time, HOW to all PC
sundry prodayut software that not having to appear nA prilavkah
Zapada already popadaet to nashim lyuitelyam. But takoy
situatsiya long stay can not. All repeat HOW with a PC. A few
years nazad, All begali with XT and dostavali something HOW
Games vesma questionable kachestva ... Let's wait
see ...
VDV> And another thing: I do a lot of slyshal programmnye
emulyaory IBM, that's HOW-tak is emulated and emulated SVGA
grafika-li SOUND BLASTER???
MM> Yea, there are emulators programmnye PC.
Naibolee worthy of them nA current
day is a PC-Task 3. 1 (in view of the above circumstances do
not know whether there is The following versions). He emulates
computer nA baze 286 protsessora without FPU. Tak also emulates
sVGA to 2Mb, and mouse. Thus do the same has the opportunity to
rabotat napryamuyu with PC HDD. Author PC-TASK obeschal
continue razrabotku add an emulation of the 386 and 486
protsessora. Tak we are waiting, sir. A nA A1200 with Blizzard
IV 1230 nA 50Mhz it to the test (CHECK IT) emulsion 286 nA
30Mhz. Naschet Blaster not pripominayu, although it may be. K
Besides nA Amiga there are other kucha
emulators. Naprimer, one of vydayuschihsya
emulator MAC. Ha A4000 with 040 Emulsion
Quadra900.
ZF> According to recent reports have appeared
PC-Task, supports 486.
ZF> According to the latest information - even
Pentium.
VDV> Next question: kakoy monitor needed Amiga.
MM> K Amiga fits any monitor
whether from spektruma (dazhe TV) or
sVGA. A bit disappointing, but sVGA can rabotat operatsionnoy
only under a system in While HOW usual monitor anywhere.
There is a way out: Multisinc with chastotoy rows of
15 Khz and above. It will rabotat where
anywhere and in all rezhimah.
VDV> Well, the last and samy glavny question: Where ONA
PRODAETSYA OFITSIALNO? (In Moscow, of course, will not go, I za
it in St. Petersburg)
MM> Poka we sami za Amiga in Moscow we go: (. We go to the
firm, "Saco" in Address: Initial Dobryninsky lane house 8
