When AB3D (the first, not TKG) was released gfx-cards wasn't very common IIRC and it ran fine on pretty low-spec anyway. Played it on my a4k with the standard 030 25MHz.
I agree with everything else you wrote  |

| I have been away from the Amiga scene for 4-5 years. I miss my XE and need to find someone in Toronto or Montreal that can fix it.
Any suggestions for repairs?

As soon as I saw your avatar, I thought there's someone who hasn't been here for a while. Welcome back.
When did your XE last work? Maybe the old trick of swapping the battery will work.

I had it repaired by Steve Solie maybe 3-4 years ago. I had to ship it to Alberta from Ontario. It worked fine for 6 months and then died. I figure all the jostling loosened a chip. I would really like to drive it myself to and back from the repair.
I miss it so much there is just something to the feel.
No I don't think it is the battery.
If someone could suggest someone in the Toronto or Montreal area that would be great.
Thanks,

There was an AB3D demo in 1995. So right at the tail end of Commodore-Amiga. And only high spec maxhines would have one. Of course AB3D did use that copper trick to do a chunky screen.
I just tested the demo and I was surprised it was too slow to play. Not like a bare A1200 even! 
I'll try it with JIT now.  |

I gotta ask... how the hell did you get MorphOS working on the PowerMac? When I tried it just blew me about 10 raspberries... that's the polite way otr putting it anyway _________________

Forget getting it to run at acceptable speed without JIT-emulation . On my machine it isn't enough with JIT even. It's offcourse much faster than without but not enough. |

Yeah I tried JIT. Not much better. I couldn't seem to shoot. Perhaps the Mac version will be faster.
I also tried the AB3D RTG patch on Aminet. The panel is missing but it runs slighly faster. |
