Will / could a patch be made to enable RTG on whdload ?

Or would be a big ask ....

Seems a shame not to use the vampire RTG as much as possible

While there are some (few) games that could be "mode" promoted to an RTG screen - most will be banging the metal.

You might be able to have some luck with "mode promoting" programs based on intuition libraries - however there are more applications that would allow this. 

While I am unaware of any WHDLoad game that would allow a screen "mode" promotion - thats not to say that there isn't - also I should mention that "IF" you managed to get a game promoted to an RTG screen - all their graphics will most likely be stored in CHIP RAM - so its unlikely it will speed it up much.

I would look at RTG game implementations and get them running - HOL on eab has a lit of 102 titles that are RTG -

Should prove fun ;)
