Hi Everyone,

Total newbie question sorry... I am going to purchase a ACA630 for my Amiga A600 when they become available but I am worried about it speeding up the games I intend to play so they are not as they should be / realistic.

I am only going to play a handful of games namely, Beneath a Steel Sky, Ruff N' Tumble, Theme Park, Syndicate and Choas Engine. There are probably a few more I cannot think of..!! I am just wondering if these are going to run at the correct speed? Whether the authors who produced these actually factored in a 'maximum' run/play speed to compensate for the various performance of Amigas at the time I am not sure. If I had to guess I would say the early games, no! But the newer games, yes! :)

I don't think I am that bother about WHload as I want to play most of my games from disk with the exception of Beneath a Steel Sky that I will install using it's own installation process..

Has anyone got any advice?

Thanks

Adrian

I had problems on my friends A4000 with cyberstorm 060 playing Dune II
I was overrun in the matter of seconds on the first mission.
Although a while ago, it was way to fast for me...

With my 030 (50mhz) 500+ cyndicate and dune II runs a lot faster that bog standard 68K. but still playable...

Those problems are easily solved by either running the games as WHDload versions or using various degraders... :)
Or by booting into 68k mode... :D

I must say, playing cyndicate on 030 was a bit of extra edge to the gameplay. a new level of "difficulty", so to speak...
