- It all depends on the between-frame deltas, as always.
-
- (about the only thing immune from this consideration is Editmaster...)
-
- You could do it now with a small delta per frame. With software that takes
- into account the new 3.0 features, as well as quadword alignment of the
- data, you can do it with larger deltas. And furthermore, if you're careful
- with your animation design, you can get a lot of the screen moving around
- for a relatively small delta.
-
- Just like with older Amigas, you can get 30 FPS in high res if you're
- careful, and you can't if you ignore delta considerations. It's the same
- with AGA. Make sure, when you're running your animation tests, you're not
- actually running DblNTSC (deinterlaced highres), as that'll slow things down
- a lot and not add anything for video purposes.
