Hi everyone,

A new version of the Versatile Amiga Testprogram has been uploaded to Aminet. This is version 5.92 Beta.

The author states:

“An Amiga TestProgram for all Amigas. Remove hardware from the parallel port when doing tests on this port and real interrupt testing. Don`t use Amitestkit or DiagROM testplugs! Remove parallel port testplug when done using the program.”

Changes since the previous one are as follows:

• vatestprogram.dat file updated with texture. Older Amigas will not load the texture data from the .dat file.
• Vampire Screen Tests under SAGA display+
  8 16 24 and 32 screens added with colorblocks
  Screen sides and corner blocks for some color depth modes
  All resolutions added
• Vampire CPU Clock at CPUscreen
• Vampire 3D scaling test with speed results, 512x512x4 bytes per texture
• Vampire Bilienar switch for smoothing pixels with texturemapping
• Vampire Texture Light input, is used to lower RGB colors with texturemapping
• Vampire standalone CPU speed result added
• Vampire Texture mapping test needs to load VATestprogram for a texture
• Vampire Texture Size mode used for test
• Vampire AudioScreen (under construction)
• 5.82b Version of program added (without new vampire tests)

The program is packed with features. A complete overview can be found here. From the list of changes above, we can see that support has been increased for the Vampire.
