Stuttering / Slow Downs / Games that are not playable on A600GS

[Rusty Breadbin]

Simon The Sorceror has slowdowns (latest WHDLoad v1.5). Sigh.
And WTF is up with the screen stretching on the AGA version... which doesn't even load anyway...

Seriously, what the hell is up with the random game slowdowns with Amiberry?
I notice that's it's been getting some updates recently, but none of them seem to be fixing the slowdown problems, when I test with Elevator Action AGA and The Lost Pixel there are still slowdowns present...

I appreciate what the A600GS is and what the team behind it at AmiKit are trying to do, but it's been some 2 years now and these slowdown issues are still persisting with random games and other games being hit and miss as to whether they work.

Are these issues really going to be fixed at some point or is this some issue of Amiberry Lite?

I haven't had time to do exhaustive testing, but my benchmark for (slow) game performance on the A600GS is Absolute Zero by Zener (running as ADF from the menu). The latest update - which includes Amiberry Lite 5.9.2 - provides much better performance in game speed (audio and movement).

If that's the only game you're using to benchmark then you're using the wrong games.

I've been playing both Elevator Action AGA and the lost Pixel.

Elevator Action AGA runs consistently about 10-15% slow when running from and ADF, and around 20% slow when using a WHDload image. It has been this way since the beginning and there has been no speed improvement whatsoever in recent updates.

As for The Lost Pixel, when running ADF from the menu, is s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-w. You can hear the music running at full speed only when the game is loading, but the gameplay runs so slow it's not funny, and the music running massively slow as well. It even runs slow on the game's main menu! Again, it's been this way since the game was first released with no improvements at all.
