I was wondering if FBlit or BlazeWCP would help speed Sim City 2000 up. I must try it out today on my Amigas if I can find a working copy of the game.

I've just run some tests with this game on some of the Amigas here in the office. I tried it on an A1200 030/50 and an A1200 030/28.

As reported by others, the game is quite slow when run from a default Workbench installation, but when I run FBlit and BlazeWCP in my Startup-Sequence the game is noticably more responsive and playable! I recommend anyone who has played the game before and been disappointed to try it again with these patches running if they haven't already.

Now I just need to get a Mac emulation setup installed and find the Mac version of the game so I can compare them and take a video.

I just ran SimCity 2000 through ShapeShifter with the super fast MuEVD video driver on my AGA A1200 and ran the patched Amiga version (with FBlit and BlazeWCP running) and they're both around the same speed.
