    • Possible ATI conflict?

      2 2 268

      For some reason, pop-pop doesn't like my setup when I have the ATI ROM Extender enabled (crashes with March, June and July ROM Extenders).

      What happens is at launch the screen will go black with some green highlights, switch resolutions and color depth, then it crashes with a Type 2 error, leaving my screen at 640x480 with a weird color palette. I can fix it by going into the Monitors CP and changing the color depth, resolution, and Color set.

      When I disable the ATI ROM Extender, when I launch the game, the screen will go completely black (no green highlights), switch resolutions and color depth, and play as normal.

      Here's my setup:
      G4 867
      768MB RAM
      Mac OS 9.2.2
      Radeon 8500 July update

      It works fine in OS X.

      Is there anyone else with a Radeon 8500 that has this problem? It works fine on my PowerBook G4 800 w/ Radeon 7500 Mobility in OS 9.2.2.

    • Hmmm - can't comment on the OS 9 conflict, but I'm running the latest ATI update with a Rage Orion card in OS X and it's fine.

      If I have a moment I'll boot back in OS 9 shudder and see if it's effecting my machine.
