Pretty amazing what people are pushing the hardware to do.
They mention the processor and 16 megs of ram, but have you got any idea what type of video they are using (AGA or RTG)?

It's AGA.

No kidding?
So basically, just the original hardware.
No real 2D or 3D acceleration.

Just a fast cpu (well, that is third party item, but I won't complain).
Cool.

That is still a pretty powerful CPU.
How come you have never tried for 60 or 66MMHz?
Is the processor soldered on or socketed?

Post by: desiv on May 18, 2013, 05:35:49 AM: Makes me wonder what a hypothetical modern-ish Amiga might be like.
I'm talking maybe 800Mhz 68060 (no PPC, I'm imagining a continuation of the 680x0 line for this) with a GIG of RAM.

;-)

Love those demos..

Post by: A6000 on May 18, 2013, 09:58:10 AM: If freescale were to make a new 680x0, I see no reason why it could not run at 2-4Ghz like other current processors.
