VGA'in hem chunky (örn 320x200x256) hem planar mode'ları var (örn 640x480x16). planar mode'daki blit desteği de blitter gibi gelişmiş değildi. sadece tek seferde 8 pixel taşımaya izin veriyordu. ama o bile ciddi hız farkı yaratıyordu bitplane değişimi gerektirmediğinden.

It is.. been upped to 4mb with a blitter, 68881 fpu board, 286 16 pc board and a software switchable rom switcher for 2.06.

Right now it doesn’t look like there is going to be anything compelling enough to get MiSTer users to migrate over to the DE25 nano.
But if there was a CV1000D implementation with accurate blitter timings…..

Atari Jaguar was not designed for texture mapping yet Blitter processor inside Tom "CPU"/GPU did 6000 texture mapped gouraud shaded polygons.
If there was 128bit data bus then would match 3DO while removing Motorola 68K and set clock to 40MHz thus 30K per second hence early to mid Playstation games.

Blue Sky is the modern heir to the Blitter app remember how funny that app was?

It's possible to VSync and with a 7MHz 68000-based CPU I guess you can push pixels around fairly fast but not as fast as an Amiga which had a Blitter chip ofc.

I was going to post a gif of excitement, but Blitter doesn’t have that yet. What a shame.
All of the BLTN has assembled on Blitter. Give @awd2.bsky.social and @sinscaptain.bsky.social a follow and then head over to Black Lodge Trivia Night on YouTube and subscribe!

This feels like the grown up version of Blitter

someone suggested to me that I could implement some funky UV-like mipmap rendering in the path-tracing for wall sidedefs, by using a blitter and transparency, and that the 'coefficient of indirection' would be encoded to the second texture
but no, there is no universe in which I also add 'BLITCOIN'

Det gjorde jag! I tjugo-tjugofem minuter. Samt visade klipp från Shadow of the Beast för att demonstrera vad man kunde ha blitter och copper till.
Det är en sektion som håller på mycket med datorer men ett gäng av dem är unga och har aldrig hört talas om Amiga!
Nu har de.

Changing DRAM from FPM to EDO would have improved performance by 33% though if designers of hardware had foresight they could have had 64 bit cache buffer on Blitter.
John Carmack of Id Software stated if Jaguar's Blitter had two 64 bit buffers then performance would have improved by 300 percent.
