Guide says that don't try to promote Quake/doom style games, so I'ven't tried that.

Can you do timedemo with and without fblit? Need to check that myself when I'm home again. I'm curious :)

I'm afraid I can't right now as my A1200 is not connected! I'm in the process of upgrading the hard drive from 3.25GB to 80GB. The 80GB has lots of my personal data on it and I need to go through it all to back it up (it's out of my old laptop which died...well actually I punched the screen). I'm going to try a different cooling fan as well in the case. If you're desperate to know I could hook it up again, but wasn't going to until I was ready to put the new drive in.

I remember comparing it myself with and without FBlit (doom and quake), and with FBlit it was (very) marginally faster. My main area of concern was "would it make it slower?" and the answer was a definite "No", which was good...because I can continue to use FBlit in Exclude mode  without having to manually keep turning it into Include mode and back again.

There were some patches to fix some bugs and speed up Sim City 2000. Have a look on Aminet and the Amiga Future website. I'm unsure which of the patches is the newest at the moment, I looked into it a long time ago but forgot the details.

I even compared the speed of the game running in MacOS on the same Amiga and the Amiga version was quite snappy with the patches applied and FBlit running.
