To each their own and whatnot, but am I alone in wanting something for cd32?

For no reason in particular the idea of the cd32 being genuinely competitive to things like jaguar, 32x, and to a lesser extent 3do really appeals to me.
Would give people like earok "new" titles to play with too  (expanded cd32 releases of things like quake, doom, genetic species, etc..... basically any 68k games that require more grunt than standard a cd32 provides).

Personally Id take any benchmark tool made by developers of hardware with a grain of salt. Throughout the ages theyve always favored the vendors hardware. Sysinfo may be unreliable, but its unreliable for all hardware, so theyre on an even keel.

Not that Im trying to dismiss the work done here. It's cool stuff that Im also interested in, but there's been a few things that seem to mirror the usual practice of hand picking/hand tuning performance benchmarks (like the weird suggestion that fpu isnt important, and to prove a point theyve shown interger performance of other hardware vs interger performance of apollo,.... how does this prove anything in regards to fpu? .

p.s. in regards to fpu, Im basing this on another persons post here at a.org,...... it's possible that more useful information has actually been posted elsewhere.

A mac is a mac, a pc clone is a pc clone etc.

Just because talking in circles seems to be popular I offer the following idea and question:

Isnt a Mac these days also a pc clone running MacOS with an Apple badge?
And what about a Hackintosh? Same hardware and software sans logo.
And what about the officially endorsed Mac clones?

I wonder if Apple fans argue these sorts of things as aggressively as we do.
Id hazzard a guess this is an "amiga" trait and that theyre more preoccupied with enjoying their systems than arguing how they should be defined.

Was never implied, you just missed the joke.
