Fantastic work. To mirror other peoples sentiments, "I Want One"  :)

For me some sort of p96 hardware/driver makes so much more sense than "super aga". The former having a plethora of available software already that will take advantage of the hardware and established apis, the latter relying on new software be created (by who though?), not to mention work will need to be done in the way of development tools (and docs,examples) to let people even try to offer much advantage of new gfx modes (yes there'll be a small improvement over aga using original ecs/aga modes seeing as a few botlenecks are renoved/reduced, but the same is true of minimig). Maybe (hopefully) there'll be an RTG driver for Natami too one day though.

As for the T68k.c core not being compatible enough, is tht due to lack of an fpu?

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Not really, programs that work with AGA will also work with many of the new Super AGA modes. There are plenty of advantages with Super AGA that old software will benefit from, just like there are advantes with MiniMig AGA implementation over AGA on classic hardware. Simple stuff like speed and ammount of chipram for example.


Which I actually mentioned in the post youre responding to. Really though theres no comparison between aga (even with some bus bottlenecks removed and faster chipram/access) and an rtg system (especially when the data busses there dont have the same bottlenecks they do with actual classics)). Its an entirely different kettle of fish.

Yeah, RTG makes a world of difference for mame. The older builds are also magnitues of times faster than newer versions. That said though even an overclocked '060 + rtg system using an older/faster build will struggle to give playable results with something like Double Dragon (as a random choice of game).
