Can DAPHNE run on a CGA Monitor????

Hello all.

Will Daphne be able to run on a CGA monitor with an ArcadeVGA card?

Thanks!

AFAIK Yes.  I think you might have to run it in 640x480 interlaced, but it should look good enough

I haven't actually done it, so if anyone has please confirm!

I'll second that.  In theory, yes, but only if you've got the other hardware to handle it.  You'd need to use it with an ArcadeVGA card, or some other hack that would allow you to run the 640x480 interlaced mode.  But assuming you had a system setup that could output 640x480 to a CGA monitor, then Daphne would probably work.

But I haven't tried it myself.  Both of my arcade monitors are VGA (can do 640x480 progressive, or 800x600 interlaced).  I would be very interested in hearing about anyone actually trying Daphne on a CGA monitor.

I've run it on my cga with arcadevga and it works fine.  I'm pretty certain it runs at the 640x480 interlaced mode and it looks fine.
