I think I have this playing quite well now on this 25MHz 68040 machine. Ive used FBlit and I think it does seem to be working slightly. If im even running it correctly that is? I just run it then FBlit and then run S2K. But the game is definitely playable if slightly on the slow side.

I am planning to do the 3640 33MHz upgrade very soon so will see how it plays at 33MHz providing all goes well with that hack.


Check the following post for getting FBlit to work. It will happily not work and not tell you, so check it out:

You'll know when it's working because 256 colour screens will be much quicker.

Many thanks Paul1981. I checked the Fblit GUI and Simcity 2000 was already in the include list. I found it worked just by leaving the Fblit GUI open and then running Simcity 2000. Definitely a noticeable difference!

The game is most definitely playable now. I also did the 3640 processor card 33MHz overclock and this helps a bit too. Very happy now, cheers everyone for the help.

One thing more. Speed up is not something like 10%, it is about 2x. So it should really be much faster. Scrolling is almost smooth with 640 x 512 screen.

It's very hard to say if it's double the original scroll speed but perhaps close too. It's most definitely a noticeable difference when using FBlit.

Im now trying to get this game to work on a Vampired 600 via the RTG output but is being an absolute pain. Shapeshifter and the Mac version of S2K is not cooperating either unfortunately. Will probably start a new thread on that one soon.
