CyberGraphX: Help for disappearing screen modes for OS3.9 BoingBag2
After the installation of OS3.0 BoingBag2 it can happen that all screen
modes disappear. This is due to the same error that happened a few months
ago when a newer version of BlizKick was released. The problem is related to
a version check of exec. library. Newer exec versions (> v40) cause problems
when scanning the display database for cgxsystem.library less than
version 42.6. Any exec.library patch or hack with a version > v40 runs
into this problem.
By means of the cgxsystem.library from V42.7 this will get fixed.
This version is enclosed with
CGX from V4.2pre11
(for normal Amiga graphic boards) and
CGX from V4.3beta R3
(for G-Rex-PCI). (sd) (Translation: sr)

Games: Paul Burkey about Amiga ports
In Usenet
Paul Burkey of Epic Interactive (Foundation, Feeble Files) discussed the
difficulties encountered when porting a game to the Amiga.
Porting Feebles Files to Amiga was possible because Epic had already ported
this game for MacOS so that the costs for licensing and development had
already been covered. This means that the Amiga version just needs to cover
the costs for duplication (and some additional time for development).
That's why ports exclusively for Amiga aren't possible since developers
need additional Mac (or Console) ports in order to survive.
Paul Burkey suggested that two new game ports to MacOS may be ported
to Amiga and he didn't rule out games for AmigaOne.»

Patch: BlizKick V1.24rc3
On 23 March 2002 Harry 'Piru' Sintonen released version V1.2rc3 of
BlizKick. This version offers improved romfixes for the OS3.9 BoingBag2.
- Fixed V45 exec.library of AmigaOS 3.9 BoingBag2. It uses quite crude
hack to enable it, you'd better have true 32bit memory that doesn't go
away at reset for this to work. Works on my BlizzPPC, Wizor's & SMF^'s
Blizzard 1260, Cyber2th's CSMkII and Zerohero's Blizzard 2060 at
least. YMMV. Note that this hack automatically fixes some buggy programs
that peek $f80000 for version information. Thanks to my impatient
betatesters: Wizor, Jagge, Cyber2th, Zerohero, SMF^ and Lizard.
Special thanks to Lizard for bugging me about this. Also thanks to
everyone who mailed me about the problem.
- Improved romfixes module: No longer fails whole module if some
sub-patch fails. Now it should be possible to use romfixes as the last
module.
- Modified files since 1.24rc2:
BlizKick.readme
BlizKick/BlizKick
BlizKick/BlizKick.ASM
BlizKick/Modules/romfixes
BlizKick/Modules/romfixes.ASM
