As for the future development for the demoscene vs Vampire; You could still just develop within the constraints of 1260 code, not utilizing the extra features of the 68080, but get a bigger audience that aint watching 99% of the demos in Youtube (Of which Im one sadly).

The problem being that you would still need a real 060-card to make sure the demo actually works correctly on the target platform. This is pretty much why I dislike the added crap, as I'd rather see something replicating the 060 as close as possible.

Does/might the added crap throw off timings and functionalities of current 680x0, or is it cause its an unknown variable as to how a routine will actually run?

There's always the risk of something not working as it should. I mean, even if I do most of my development using WinUAE, and pretty much know it emulates everything pretty good, I still do a lot of checking on actual hardware just to make sure.

But my main gripe is maybe more with the perceived focus of this whole project, where added features seem to be more important than true compatibility (with the 68060).
