Hey guys. Quick question here, but first, here's a little update from my end of things: After a torturous Mac abstinence period since switching countries, and QEMU simply not fitting the bill, on top of it having destroyed whatever life was left of one of my 4 TB external HDDs (which is my own fault - there were signs of it going out earlier I didn't realize in time), I now finally could give myself the luxury of owning a real Mac-compatible computer again.
But perhaps the trauma was too great... because now I wound up with 2 MDDs, 2 Mac minis (1.25 and 1.5 + a 3rd Mac mini carcass/board) and the legendary PowerBook G4 DLSD 15", as if to make up for the abstinence. And a CRT monitor. (Important!) Then I hunt down some Ti4600 (the best Mac OS GPU), a 1.8GHz Sonnet CPU and an auxiliary PC for AGP GPU flashing. Currently, I'm slowly upgrading RAM and adding SSDs to things and potentially some PCI cards later on etc....
Now onto the actual topic. One considerable downside of using Mac minis for Mac OS was that the GPU is soldered onto the board, and it was capable of, at minimum, 256 color depth. No less.
The issue? Some games do not work with such "high" color depths, even if they would otherwise work with the Mac. Now, as an MDD owner (**ck Molex connectors, btw), I have the option of switching between different AGP graphics cards.
The question is, then: are there Mac AGP graphics cards capable of less than 256 color depth? Which cards? Perhaps some 3dfx stuff? (Note: I'm totally new to pre-PCIe cards.)
